This was a first stop after renting a car from Lisbon and spending some time in the Algarve before a full roadtrip around Portugal. I almost thought two nights would be one too many as I had to make decisions about how long to stay in each stop but I easily would’ve stayed here another night if we had the time (in Sagres, generally, and the Pousada). The convenient parking lot was great for us. The views from the Pousada were spectacular, as you looked out at what felt like the end of earth. Breakfast buffet was great and mirrored the buffet we experienced in every other Portuguese continental breakfast we had (which is far better than any continental breakfast in the US). The hospitality was warm. Our twin beds pushed together were comfy. The walk out patio was a great place to chill with an espresso. And it was a short walk down a tall steep hill to Praia da Mareta. Of all the beaches we stopped at, this one was not overly crowded and the setting made us feel like we were in a movie, with an expansive stretch of sand between cliffs. Beware the winds in this area. The sand will definitely whip you and take your hat right off your head! Also, an easy walk or drive to local restaurants or bars. We wish we had time to go to more but we had an amazing night at Agua Salgada for cocktails. The historical attractions and sunsets are close by and you can also use this as a home base to take day trips to Salema, Lagos, Alvor, etc. with your things safely stowed at the Pousada.
