Solar de Mos was a peaceful retreat that’s close to the old city and surrounding beaches. The grounds are lovely and the pool refreshing and clean. The rooms were cleaned daily and the staff are super helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend this hotel and hope to return soon.

Checkin was delayed due to late flight and the front desk was very welcoming and understanding. Breakfast was great for getting the day started, and the rooms were clean. The balcony was nice, my only regret is we didn’t have more time to enjoy to balcony, pool, and jacuzzi. We will return!

Overall, my stay at Solar de Mós was very good. I did not give it a 5 star as there was no restaurant on site even though the description said so. The hotel orders dinner from a local restaurant and you place your reservation by midday, the day before I think.
Also, the local beach is quite a walk, certainly more than 15 minutes. My mom and I used Uber to get to the beach and go into old town.
I would describe the suite as a mixture of traditional with some elements of contemporary. Overall, a small suite with old world charm. The balcony is nice. The bed and pillows were amazing for a side sleeper!
Also, it was quaint that they had an iron but no ironing board! My mom and I had to use the bed as an ironing board.
Furthermore the staff were all friendly. The breakfast was slightly above average in quality. Plenty options to choose from.
Overall, I recommend this hotel if you do not mind there is no on-site restaurant and it is in a residential area and may be a 25 minute walk from Old Town. I did visit one of the local restaurants and it was quite good although service was slow.

Es un alojamiento con un ambiente familiar , hacen que te sientas en casa (son muy amables y acogedores).
El recinto es práctico con una buena zona de piscina y posibilidad de aparcamiento en la puerta.
Quizá, aunque muy bien cuidado, las habitaciones son un poco antiguas y podrían tener una pequeña reforma (como han hecho en los otros dos alojamientos nuevos que tienen)
Volveríamos sin pensarlo.

Hôtel idéalement placé pour rayonner
L’hôtel est au calme à 5 mn en voiture de Lagos. C’est idéal pour rayonner et pour les voir les différents sites. Le petit déjeuner est simple, mais complet. La dépendance où était notre chambre est très moderne alors que la salle du petit déjeuner est un peu vieillotte.
