The hotel is situated in a beautiful location with stunning gardens and even features the largest eucalyptus tree I've ever seen. However, the room access is quite challenging due to the steep slopes, making it tough for those with limited mobility. While the dining experience offers some unique options, I found that smoking during meals detracted from the atmosphere. Overall, it's a mixed experience with plenty of potential.

The accommodations were personalized for our needs, but be aware that the multiple buildings mean some rooms are difficult to access. Unfortunately, there was no disabled access or lifts available.

While the courtyard was beautifully prepared by the staff, the service I experienced was lacking. The restaurant staff seemed uninterested in customer satisfaction, which led us to dine elsewhere for the rest of our stay.

The hotel is nestled in well-kept grounds, but the location is affected by nearby noise from the bottle factory. Despite this, taxis are readily available, and the friendly staff can assist with booking.

Dining at the in-house restaurant featured a variety of fresh options and local offerings. However, better coffee and more Portuguese products would have improved the experience. Plus, the presence of smokers during meals was a downside.

The facilities, including the gardens and pools, are lovely and provide a tranquil setting for relaxation. However, overall access could be improved for those with mobility concerns.

I had a bit of a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were fairly nice and the area was quiet, making it a decent place to unwind. However, the service could use some improvement, especially with how the staff treats guests. On the whole, the location is great if you're looking for a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle, but some aspects could be better.

I stayed at this hotel complex that resembled a charming mountain village, and it was quite lovely with lush gardens and a peaceful atmosphere. The rooms were rather dim and small, which was a downside. I found the service to be hit or miss; while Joana was fantastic, overall, it felt like there was a lack of attentiveness from the staff at times. The dining options left a bit to be desired regarding organization, but the beauty of the surroundings made up for it. Overall, it's a nice place with potential but needs some improvements.

The hotel offers a unique experience with its three separate buildings, which adds some charm but can be a hassle when accessing the main amenities like breakfast. My room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, featuring a good-sized bathroom and an excellent bed. While the service had its ups and downs, I appreciated the friendly staff, and the location, though a bit isolated, provided a peaceful retreat. Dining options could improve, especially during peak times, but overall, it was a decent value for money.

The dining experience was functional but could be improved. The breakfast layout was crowded at peak times, with limited hot options. However, the fresh seasonal fruit was a nice touch.

The facilities included a lovely spa and a big lounge in the main building. However, my experience in the spa was less than ideal compared to others I've been to.

The hotel is nestled in a beautiful, tranquil location, perfect for relaxing away from the hustle and bustle. The rooms were comfortable and well-maintained, but it was surprising that some basic amenities like an ironing board and a decent hair dryer were missing. The service had its ups and downs; although the staff was generally friendly, at times it felt like there weren't enough staff members available. Dining options could use some improvement but overall, it was a decent stay.

The staff was generally friendly and helpful, and they relocated us to a quieter room after our first night. However, it was often challenging to get their attention due to the shortage of visible staff in the restaurant area.
