This is truly a retreat: large grounds in the nature reserve PN do Sudoeste de Alentejano e Costa Vincentina; beautiful lay-out of the gardens; spectacular view on the ocean from the pool; several secluded areas to sit and relax; nice terraces adjacent to the rooms but also next to the library/lounge as well as the restaurant area. The room is modern luxurious comfort with all amenities. The service very warm and friendly and immaculate. We were warmly welcomed by the owner and shown around with much enthusiasm. The formalities of the check in were left for the next day. After settling in, a very nice 3 course meal was served (remember to book the meal in advance); the two ladies, the owner’s wife and the chef, were obviously enjoying themselves during the preparations. The breakfast was very elaborate with fresh bread and cakes and everything nicely presented on the buffet; topped of with cooked eggs to your liking. Next day, the manager provided us with lots of details of the area and we were sent off with a long list of things to do. The coastal area is worthwhile exploring and many points of interest can be visited. But a full day relaxing on the property is no punishment. Unfortunately, there was no diner planned for the next two evenings, but a number of restaurants in the area. In the end, we were lucky that we still could get a lovely diner on our final evening. We have enjoyed our stay; when returning to Portugal, we will certainly plan to spent some nights in this lovely boutique hotel.
