It was very damp and warm in our room.

The property and the staff were amazing. The views and the grounds were stunning.

The rooms were a bit cold but it’s March in the north so not too unexpected.

Beautiful 17 century building sympathetically decorated to reflect the period. Great host good food good wine in abundance Served by the owner herself. There was a roaring fire which added to the period feel. If your desire is for high tech stainless steel and glass this is not for you. Think 4 poster beds and manual wooden shutters complete with creaking floorboard. Yet clean and functional. Opening the shutters to the sight of oranges and lemons nodding in the wind was magical! Breakfast was a feast. Very enjoyable. Not a hot one but there was enough of a selection to please us all We had the freedom to wonder the vast property grounds unrestricted. The gardens are poised to burst into blooms of apple pears plums and figs soon.

The fact that it is an established and noble structure, its situación, the quality of service and the charm of its owner, María.

A truly magical stay at this period Manor House. Surrounded by vineyards, it's a haven for those with an inspired soul and artistic sensibility. Filled with antiques, it's a unique and unforgettable retreat. Our two borzois dogs were warmly welcomed. A place where history meets inspiration. Highly recommended!

Best host, personalised and welcoming. Very cosy and familiar atmosphere. If you want to stay in a real rural aristocratic house, this is the place. You are in the middle of a typical farm with all the history and tradition associated. Don’t miss the dinner, with good and traditional food from the region.

We booked a room at the Casa dos Viscondes da Varzea. When we arrived we were welcomed by Donha Maria Manuel, the owner of this rural palace. She and her friendly staff made us feel at home immediately, from breakfast to dinner, in the sumptuous dining hall and other luxuriously decorated living rooms with fireplaces.

The room was very cold. The toilet was not secured to the floor which led to a couple of exciting moments. Fresh orange juice with breakfast would have been desirable.

This property is in a lovely setting surrounded by vineyards. The food and house wine were excellent. The lounge with open fire was both delightful and memorable.

Our stay was made by the remarkable host Maria. What a life story - and what dedication to the upkeep of her wonderful family home. If the sun had shone, I think we would have felt ourselves in heaven!

The service was really slow... I had to go to the reception to order more wine (which I was ok with), but it would take forever to bring the wine to you, and one time they gave us the wine warm.

I loved the place itself.... it was like being in a fairytale... the price was cheap for what we got and the price of the wine $10 was great!

This is absolutely one of the most charming places I have ever stayed. I felt transported into another life. The setting is amazing and I felt like an honored guest of a noble family. I will highly recommend this property to friends!

Little things needed some more love, like the garden or sprinklers making all the lounge chairs wet each day.

Most stunning place in the world!

We cannot think of anything we would want to change

This was at the end of our time in Portugal and was the finishing touch to a wonderful holiday. We cannot praise the property enough, it was an experience that will live long in our memories. Whereas most other guests only stayed one night we are so glad we decided to stay three nights. Its so relaxing we didnt travel around and just enjoyed the surroundings and facilities this property has to offer. The room was outstanding, the breakfasts set the day up and the optional evening meal an experience that shouldn't be missed. Finally the staff and owner were so hospitable and friendly. Thank you

Need a car to reach this hotel as it is quite isolated. Not many things to do around especially if you do not have a car. No lights in the footpaths to the rooms made it a bit tricky on our way back to our room late at night. Breakfast was quite simple without any hot options (eggs etc). Buffet dinner was a bit pricey. Not very easy to carry the suitcases to the rooms as there are stairs and stoned footpaths. More than one keys would be more handy especially when 4 people are sharing the same room. A bit better maintenance is required in some rooms as we could not close the window.

Very friendly staff. Spacious and clean rooms. Enjoyed the delicious and fresh vegetables and fruits grown at this place, as well as the wine! Free parking! Great view from the rooms, the dining areas and the living rooms! Comfy sunbeds by the swimming pool and fresh towels offered for the swimming pool!

The bathroom fittings and room furnishings were starting to show their age.

A beautiful period establishment filled with treasures and family history. A great artistic flair gives this property a unique experience and amazing food.

The location, room and views were phenomenal, we took up the option of dinner as there was nothing else opened on a Sunday night. The food was very good with generous portions, including wine. The pool area was also a lovely place to relax.

Not one thing.

Loved the atmosphere. The view from our comfortable room was gorgeous and the birds outside the room were chirping every morning. We were made to feel very welcome in this family estate. We enjoyed breakfast and dinner with the other guests in an elegant dining room and met incredibly interesting people. The dinners provided a wide array of great food and the wine was included. The staff was very accommodating and Maria, the owner, made a point of interacting with the guests. It was a pleasure to stroll through the house and see the gorgeous antiques and art work.
