Pestana Gramacho Residences - Aparthotel & Golf

What a fantastic course staff are very helpful and friendly.

This place exceeded my expectations, the images you see on review sites do not do it any justice. I was pleasantly surprised by the service we received by the staff, they were very welcoming and accommodating. The 'Apartment' we were assigned was a 3 story house! Very clean and comfortable. it had pretty much everything you needed and more! the resort was really nice and there is a shuttle service which is free that takes you back forth from the residence and the restaurant.

If I were to pick out a negative it would be that there is not much else in the resort in terms of shops and restaurant choices. Because of where it's located (in the middle of no where) we only had one restaurant and a small grocery store which was fairly expensive. We had to pay for a cab in order to go to the nearest store which was Lidl.

Seriously good. For any standard of golfer there is course for you. The courses we played were all of a good standard. Well manicured greens.

We had breakfast each morning at the clubhouse. At €10.50 It is great value for money.

The residences were great. Clean. Comfy beds. Spacious. Nice pool. Lovely staff. Breakfasts were filling and full of variety at the clubhouse every day. A great base.

Just back from 4 excellent days away. The staff at the resort couldn't be more helpful. Played Pinta (twice), Gramacho and Silves. Due to play Alto on last day but changed due to timings. Play can be a bit slow if you go off just after lunch as we found on day one. 16th and 18th played into a setting sun. And the great part, 18-20 degrees of sun every day. Fantastic.
The apartment was ideal for our needs, comfortable beds and pillows.
Only negative to consider, as February is out of season, it was difficult to find a selection of decent restaurants open.
However, would definitely recommend and go back again.
Thanks to all!

First time golfing in Portugal and I was very impressed. Superb golf courses especially Grametcho and Silves and the local people are friendly and welcoming. The resort itself is kept immaculate and our apartments were excellent. Each golf clubhouse offers the same menu and every meal I had was great on quality, quantity and value. We also ventured into Carvoeira where we found the same warm welcome and a good variety of places to eat and drink.

Quiet, remote, nice pool. Rooms are rather small but functional. Important to clarify rooms vs apartments. Close to Ferragudo, best fishing village with great restaurants!

Excellent service and facilities

Apartments / houses are great! Very modern, practical and spacious. Area is a bit isolated but very relaxing. Great swimming pool and nice service from staff

Very peacefull and quiet, away from Albufeira or Portimão confusion.

Great course. Shame about the bunkers being rock hard and little free sand.
Friendly staff. Shop is well stocked. Well worth a visit.

For sure, one of the most distinguish golf course and golf club in the world. Extraordinary staff, extraordinary place. You haven't seen an "Oasis" untill you visit this place....

Excellent course in great condition, approximately 4.5 hours for a round which is pretty standard but the differing challenging holes and great scenery made it fly by, will be back !

Second time here with a group..... Amazing golf and the villa we had this year was outstanding. We will more than likely be back again next year.

Nice, quiet, green n relaxed atmosphere around.
People around were friendly...
My thanks to Rafael n Ricardo for their warmth feelings.

Fantastic resort. Nice golf courses. The staff could not be faulted with their friendliness and assistance.

Great apartments with a beautifull view. Very clean rooms and friendly staff.

Good value and a good course. Not the most challenging course which is perfect for on holiday. Friendly staff too...

Beautiful place to Golf, eat and sleep. The green and gardens are very well done.
Near Farragudo, Corvoeiro and Portimao.
