Very calm and pleasant. A great place for a weekend!…read moreThe service is good and the hotel is clean with good maintenance. People are very nice and helpful. We recommend the restaurant that even if it is not yet in full operation, there are good options and the service is excellent. There is no international breakfast but it has a very good offer in fruit and local breath.

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

My wife and I just returned from a week's tour with Cristiane and EcoTrilha, and had a great time…read more Everything was well arranged. The hotels were clean, comfortable, and in good locations. The price was very reasonable. The sights that we saw were fun, interesting, and just fantastic. We can highly recommend EcoTrilha Tours. In fact, my daughter is planning to visit Portugal next year, and I had no hesitation recommending EcoTrilha Tours to her. We will definitely be contacting EcoTrilha again, for some of their other tours, the next time we visit Portugal. And I'll just add that Portugal is VERY well worth a visit. Wonderful people, lots of fascinating history, beautiful architecture, great food, and gorgeous countryside.

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.

It's right in center - backside of hotel also restaurant opening onto the town square which has a lot of other shops and restaurants. Room is clean and comfortable if not the most spacious. We had breakfast in the restaurant. Decent although nothing special. Restaurant has a covered outdoor section which is a very nice feature as it does tend to rain unpredictably here.

It was my favorite hotel during my Portugal trip. While the city where the hotel is located is pretty boring, the hotel is beautiful. They have a parking lot that tends to fill fast so make sure you get there early enough to guarantee a spot. Entertainment-wise, they have a game room with a pool table, a bar with plenty of seating and a secondary room with a large TV projector, a gym, a garden, and more. The rooms are just as beautiful as the common areas and the WiFi works well. Service is friendly. I also stopped by for breakfast one day which was also pretty good. I especially liked the fresh bread. You can't go wrong at this hotel, overall, it has everything you need and more!
