Normally (well, what is 'normally: I hadn't been here for 7 years), i stay at the Casa do Arrabalde…read morebut it was still closed this early in the year and Isabel, the manager, sent me to this new hotel which was a nice surprise: the reception was overall very friendly (except when I arrived at 12: they still had to clean the rooms). The room was across the street. Very modern, but everything in good working condition. Breakfast was quite extensive and a bit on the sweet side (this is Portugal, not Germany). If next time the Casa do Arrabalde is closed, I will definitely come back here. Price is also perfectly acceptable. The location is quiet: across the bridge, and there is a restaurant and a local eating place on the same square

Beautiful location right on the vineyard…read more Full service hotel with spa, wine tasting, great food and excellent staff. Rooms are exceptional and a full breakfast is included in the main dining room. It's called a wine experience for a reason!!! From the moment we checked in we were welcomed with a glass of champagne. After check in, we went to the room, which was spacious, spotless and absolutely lovely. A bottle of champagne was on ice in the sitting area with a nice welcome note. Everything in this hotel was a 5 star experience. If this hotel was in Napa, it would easily be $1000 a night. So IMO, it's an exceptional value. The main are of the hotel has beautiful sitting areas with fire places. It's relaxing and calming. Besides the amazing wines, the food was very good. At dinner, the Sommelier paired wine with our dishes which was a nice touch. The staff was super friendly and helpful, especially when they pick you up by tuk tuk to take you the restaurant and then back to your room after dinner. The pool and spa are also a nice touch to complete this experience. I highly recommend this hotel. If you want to feel pampered and a little bougie this is the place.

This hotel is such a beauty! Directly in the vineyards, the…read morehotel is composed of different small buildings for the rooms and other facilities. All of them surrounded by the calming and gorgeous view of perfectly straight rows of plush, green vines. Our room was very modern and comfortable with a full wall window facing a view I won't forget. Even on the second night, it seemed as exciting as the first. I can't get enough of this place. It may take some time to find all the light and decipher all the switches and options but if you have trouble, the staff is very friendly and keen to help you. On our arrival we were greeted with a very welcoming glass of their own sparkling and they also brought our bags directly in our rooms while we were checking in. If you don't want to walk to your room, you can always ask for a ride in their golf carts. We did came back pretty late in the evening, but each night we gathered with our group in the lobby bar on the first floor of the main building. The bartender was very helpful and friendly. He made very pleasing recommendations and they had very interesting choices. I hope I get to go back.

Nice location in the centre of the city and nice exterior. The room was cold (there was a small…read moreelectric heater though), but there was no place to store anything. I somehow had expected a private bathroom but I was wrong: it is at the end of the corridor. As I was the only one on my floor, that wasn't really an issue. More of an issue: no glass, no soap, and no way to heat the bathroom. Breakfast was minimalistic: fresh rolls with some jams, and coffee from a traditional drip machine. No Maria to be seen (was she the woman in the car?). There was a French speaking national (I suppose) who received in a perfunctory way and was further not to be seen.

We did arrive and it looks like a Relais Chateaux... we were welcomed and got a pretty nice room... decor is on the classic old style, and we were expecting that.... Our room had a balcony that overlooked the River and the Church that was quite nice.. Room, The bed could improve as well as pillows and duvet... they could also refresh the rug in the room... even thouhg there was a lot of fabric around, I did not smell anything odd, and I am VERY picky on odors... that could not be said about the corridors of our 4th floor... it did smell odd. Lighting in the room was defecient as most hotels and trying to charge your electronics was a nightmare... once you turned your lights out, it would cut the power of your devices as well, so we had to charge in the bathroom. Bathroom was on the ok side... shower was also on the good side. The bathrobe needs a replacement as it was harsh and over-used... Staff in the lobby could be nicer.... Breakfast in the dining room was very good... great service there! As for the restaurant, I will post a review of its own as it does deserve a star in the Michellin book!!! The gardens outside are quite nice... they needed some care though.. All in all, it was a good hotel and missing some details to maintain the R.C. status in my opinion.... Enjoy

Wonderful historic location. Our room was near the service road and diesel fumes were not good…read more Great restaurant and excellent staff. Recommended
