Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful time at the hotel surrounded by nature, though bustling with American visitors which slightly affected the tranquility. The spacious rooms with a great bathroom and semi-private veranda were perfect for relaxing evenings with a bottle of wine.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were beautifully designed and very clean, with a shared sit-out area offering a private ambiance towards Monsaraz. The service was friendly and attentive, although it could be more proactive in managing the secondary pool area. The location was remarkable, perfect for relaxation and conveniently close to Monsaraz and other sites. The dining experience was superb, especially with the homemade jams. Overall, a great choice for a relaxing getaway.
The hotel is a gem nestled amongst vineyards, offering a picturesque and tranquil setting for a relaxing getaway. The rooms are beautifully designed and comfortable, but could use more seating for ultimate relaxation. The service is top-notch, with a staff that is both friendly and attentive. Dining options are superb, enhancing the overall experience. The location, surrounded by vineyards and close to Monsaraz, is stunning and perfect for unwinding and exploring the countryside.
