Amazing property. Lovely to relax

Stayed in September 2023

Sofa bed in the living room needed replacement. Jacuzzi bathtub needs a shower partner, for the sake of practicality.

Great location and great facilities for a retreat of city life. Old Alentejo housing rebuilt with good kitchen appliances (maybe some need renewal but they are nonetheless good overall). Good daily cleaning service available. Comfortable beds, good linen and towels. Small but cozy outside semiprivate area for each room. Nice infinity pool with beautiful river views. Kids pool available. Sports apparel available (badminton, soft archery). Electric car charging spot.

Old beds in living room making too much noise. Bad smell in bathroom

the pool with its view, the location, and the breakfast service. Personnel friendly

The hotel facilities have certainly seen better times and would benefit from an update.

This hotel is a special place. It’s located in an old olive grove with hundreds of very old trees. The property is designed very well following old moorish designs. The breakfast was delicious. The owner, a French painter showed us around the old buildings of the olive mill and the mansions. We also enjoyed the large pool.

Walks around the extensive grounds could be better marked out.

The infinity pool is very nice with amazing views of the river valley and surrounding hills. Nit very big and can be easily dominated by two families of four. Poolside furniture is Ikea wooden, which may be in keeping with the eco ethic but is maintenance intensive and looks a bit weathered.

The property is a bit far away from the city center, we had to use a taxi to get to the city for dinner. Also, we were hoping to get to jacuzzi upon our arrival, but it was out of order.

Beautiful location, very diverse breakfast. Our room was simply lovely and we could arrange a massage after long day hiking at the hotel's spa for the reasonable value.

The bath was too small and it was impossible to run without actually getting in the bath. Bad design.

Almost everything

The quinta itself is amazing, very well located in the middle of nature and not too far from the town. The breakfast is generous and very nice, staff is very friendly. The only and major downside for us is that off season the jacuzzi and sauna are out of service, however it was not mentioned anywhere which really disappointed us because we were looking for an hotel with these equipments since we knew it would be raining all weekend and it wasn’t mention anywhere when we booked it. Hopefully the fact that it’s in the middle of the nature, with animals and not so far from town made our stay super nice.

- Basically there is only one BIG negative thing which has influenced this review in a negatieve way. I had booked the room and stated my preference for a walk in shower. I received no response to that. However, when I checked in I was told I needed to pay a supplement of €25 per night for a room with a walk in shower. Frankly, I was furious to be put in this position and having no choice but to pay the extra amount. The accommodation was far from full. Why could they not have 'upgraded' me without the extra charge. It doesn't cost them more, and they would have had a very happy client. Now they have a very unhappy client who will never return there and never reccomend it to other travelers. - the breakfast was o.k. but I really would have appreciated eggs, and for the price I was paying, I think that is not too much to ask. - besides breakfast there is no food or drink available.

- large room - walk in shower - nearby free parking - very comfortable bed - microwave to heat my own meals and also a fridge in the room. - lovely view from the room, and nice patio area - lovely rural location - a remote control with the room key to open the property gate

Pequeno almoço com poucas opções vegan. Poucas opções sem lácteos. Sugestões: iogurtes vegetais, ovos mexidos e cozidos, pastelaria caseira sem lácteos

Tranquilidade. Piscina com vista. Proximidade à vila.

I think for the price and my previous experience of similar properties there are a few things which let it down, for example no complimentary bottle of water, only two coffee capsules for two adults staying 2 nights. I think this is little mean. Even at breakfast you are limited to one espresso per person. The apartment comes with a kitchen yet it provides no condiments - no salt no pepper not even kitchen paper. The large terrace would benefit from having sun loungers. There is no where comfortable to sit. For that you have to go to the pool area. Luckily we had our own sun chairs. For me this lets down the experience. Portugal has lots of similar beautiful places to stay. and I’ve been lucky to stay in a lot of them. this is why I don’t think this apartment compares well with other offers. I also think the check in time of 4 is too late and check out at 11. It kind of makes you feel hurried. We stayed two nights so not such an issue but still I think 4 check in is unreasonable. The issues I raise can be easily addressed and not expensive but would make a huge difference.

we stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment with a fabulous terrace and BBQ. views are stunning.

Pool was bit to cold and facilities in the pool area look economical

Reception girl was very helpful. Did arrange dinner reservation in town nearby as recoms for the beaches. Hotels pool area offers nice view into river valley. Room facilities are fresh and solid. Design is tasty. Breakfast wasn't vast of choices, but included pancakes and some sweets. As it is agro place, we could see sheep and shepherd morning ritual just in front of the pool area.

Just small things: they provide water cooker and tea, and a coffee maschine in the room - but you need to buy the coffee seperatly. The breakfast was tasty, but some eggs would have been nice. In some parts it seems Corona / missing customers took its toll. But that seems to be the case in many places in Portugal.

It is a beautiful rural establishment with a nice view over the river and a friendly staff. The location was perfect for us, as Vilanova is a little spread out, the location was perfect for us as everywhere we wanted to go was close (but you need a car in that area, anyways). The infinity pool/pool area is great, and an additional highlight is that breakfast is served there with a great view.

houses in need of repair. kitchen cupboards are showing the signs of the constant use and some lamps did not work properly. daily cleaning is efficient but not very thorough.
