Accommodation & Leisure
In addition to its prestigious setting near
the beach front in the desirable Vale
do Lobo estate, the Dona Filipa Hotel
presents guests with a fine collection
of rooms and suites, many of which
are blessed with views across the golf
course to the shoreline.
The 154 rooms are decorated in a style
traditional to the region, and are well
equipped with satellite television,
air-conditioning and mini-bar.
The Primavera Restaurant serves a great
buffet breakfast, then lovely Italian à la
carte menus for lunch and dinner. The
Duarte Grill is a sumptuous fine dining
room, whose international cuisine is
renowned for its flavour and beauty.
Golf
The ultimate benefit of staying at Dona
Filipa is the access it affords to the golf
course at San Lorenzo, regarded rightly
as one of the very best in continental
Europe. As the holes skirt the water of
the nature reserve, with views out to sea,
there are few more impressive places to
play, and the layout itself is phenomenal.
There are countless spectacular holes,
like the sixth, a par-4 towards the ocean
which gets the juices flowing, before
the course builds up to a magnificent
crescendo with the closing stretch; the
17
th is a daunting test that borders the
water, while the closing hole is a the
classic ‘risk versus reward’ hole, where
the intrepid golfer must strike a good
approach shot to reach the
spectacular semi-island green, without
doubt a finish to rival any other golf
holiday destination.
