- Great staff, Really top-notch dinners at the on-site restaurant. very unique setting and property as described. We really enjoyed walking the vineyards and into the small village adjoining.

- Great location and a very helpful staff including two cats. Even if we were there for less than 24hrs they managed everything we needed anted to try and see.
Cons -
- Breakfast does not start till 9:00, really too late if you have a full day planned, hopefully they will move start time to 8:00 or earlier.
- Maybe the breakfast could have more varieties of food (bacon, cakes, etc).
- Wish the breakfast was more focused on local.

Uniquely peaceful, gorgeous horses and vineyards outside, comfortable decor and sweet cats inside. Great restaurant and very friendly, kind, thoughtful staff.
Lovely hotel with a nice room on the perfect location. We did the farm tour and wine tasting, this was very nice and would recommend! Also the breakfast with local products was very good!
After traveling around Portugal for a few days this was the perfect spot to rest and relax for a night. The staff was wonderful, friendly, and very accommodating. The views from the hotel and the rooms are spectacular. The restaurant was great for a dinner in and breakfast had many yummy selections!
Loved it all - perhaps was hoping for more local food for breakfast/ dinner but all in all it was beautiful. Especially loved the rooms, the views from the room, and gorgeous winery views all around.
Wish the breakfast was more focused on local.
Amazing stay, beautifully designed and comfortable rooms. Staff was impeccable and really helpful. Breakfast was good as well.
Restaurant food was a bit bland and would not recommend for the price.
Was a ver nice holiday, very nice staff and incredibly clean everywhere.
Create some shadow on the baconys Some more variety at the breakfast (egg, joghurt etc.)
Quiet location in lovely countryside. Excellent rooms and a very nice chill area around the pool.The staff are excellent and nothing is too much trouble. A special mention for Angela who looked aftet us very well.
A very special place within an agriturismo setting. The staff were very welcoming and seemed to be passionate about the hotel and what it stood for - local produce, its own wines and nuts, the way it sat within the nature around it.
On my wish list would be that they had a comfortable area outside to enjoy and aperitif before dinner.
Very friendly staff, confortable room and very nice common areas. The hotel is inserted in a beatiful proprety.
Beautiful place to escape from the city. Excellent design, qualified stuff, everything was great
A window between the bathroom and bedroom made us feel weird)))) You really should do something with that. We stayed with family, so we just made a lot of jokes about it. But a romantic stay for a couple might be really awkward. Consider using some matte film for that window, that should not be expensive solution.
Beautiful location, comfortable large room and really nice people
Architecture was perfect, solid buildings, design of room. The atmosphere was great. The staff was excellent, friendly, sincere, welcoming, and always willing to help. Seeing the beautiful horses galloping next to the room was truly amazing. Breakfast in the dining room was filled with fresh fruits from the farm and great tasting breads. Dinner was amazing with terrific wines from the farm both full bodied and light. Even the vegetarian options were perfect.
Overall there wasn’t anything we didn’t like.
This is small family hotel with great pool and very good vine and food. If you need anything more for breakfast, they serve you. Staff is also great. On our trip over Portugal we have stayed in five 4 star hotels (mostly small like this) and this was the best.
A beautiful hotel surrounded by nature. The service was impeccable and the staff were extremely accommodating with our dog.
The place is lovely, the staff is outstanding! The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful, and the breakfast was superb. It was the second time I stayed here and will come again.
Passable
the food is terrible. looks nicer in the pictures then it is. the stuff is small and wasn't available
