Peaceful retreat probably best for couples stay

Fantastic hotel with top staff in a beautiful peaceful setting. It’s not 100% kid friendly (steps and distance to rooms, no kids area) but it still makes for a great family stay.

I cannot say enough great things about this place. We stumbled upon it - and are so grateful. The decor of the entire resort is absolutely perfect. So serene, peaceful and just a true oasis in the middle of an incredible country. Staff was outstanding - friendly, helpful, accommodating. The breakfast was delicious. The spa, the pool - literally one of the best places I have ever stayed!

We stayed a week at the hotel. The staff were very friendly, and the room and other facilities and breakfast buffet were brilliant. What could improve a longer stay (like ours) is more food options for the evening (more casual dining options too), clearer roles for staff serving in the restaurant (some confusion there), and a heated outside spa pool. Other than that - really great!

Unbelievably nice hotel

It’s the third time we came to this hotel. It’s located in the Costa Vicentina of Portugal, a strip of land with the most incredibly beautiful, unspoiled beaches. The hotel is a 5* facility, new (2y old) with great rooms and a tranquility that is unsurpassing. We will be back

What an amazing place. So relaxing and such a cool concept. We had a lovely time. The food was excellent, the staff super nice, the rooms were great, the area super relaxing. I cannot wait to come back. Stunning stunning property too! So happy we stayed here. My only thing was that they should have made the spa here a bit larger but it was perfect and perfectly run.

Lovely place

This place is amazing, visited both on high and low season. Beautiful place surrounded by nature, we had amazing star sky from the balcony and could hear the sea. It was a nice and cozy stay even in the winter. The breakfast is amazing. Spa is great even if the Turkish sauna was broken both days and the indoors pool was cold, so there’s bit room for improvement. But the other saunas and cold bath were great.

Fantastic Resort

Beautiful resort in a rural, quiet setting. The design is gorgeous and every detail has been considered. The rooms are spacious and very well appointed. Small details like a towel warming rack and plenty of hooks for towels make the spacious bathroom even nicer. The pool and spa are beautifully designed to incorporate the natural surroundings. The food is very good and the included breakfast is very substantial. The staff is very friendly and helpful as well. Overall this is a spectacular place.

Beautifully designed and elegant hotel. Very peaceful location which must be just as beautiful in the winter. Yoga was ok, not great. Other activity advertised (guided biking tour) was not available during my stay. Restaurant service was very disappointing (definitely not 5 star). Restaurant staff needs training.

Modern sleek hotel in a nature park with great walking and views of the Atlantic in the far distance. Very private and great place to relax. We did not use spa or gym. A few concerns: Road in is rough in places. Lots of small things needed work - doors not sliding closed properly, hot water not there, random alarms. Biggest disappointment was the so-called gourmet dining room with over-priced skimpy meals. Breakfast were excellent though.
