Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers classy and tastefully appointed rooms with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, minibars, espresso machines, and a welcome drink. The location is stunning, with views over vineyards and forests, but some room selection issues were encountered. The dining experience is refined although considering it is an expensive hotel.
The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms but with a slightly claustrophobic feel due to dark décor and bars on the windows. The service is very helpful and accommodating, although some prices may not offer the best value. The location is stunning, surrounded by vineyards and forests, but check-in times could be improved. The dining experience, while disappointing in options, offers fresh juice and fruits. Facilities are generally good but may be outdated in some areas.
I found the hotel to be transformed into a luxury spot in the middle of vineyards, offering an idyllic setting in the National Park. The rooms were large and well set up, despite lacking some basic amenities and needing additional cleaning upon arrival. The service was a mix of incredible support and friendliness alongside visible inexperience. The location was perfect for enjoying the countryside and local walks, although choosing the room wisely is key. The dining experience was delicious but could have had improved variety. Overall, a unique experience with both highs and lows.
The hotel is surrounded by beautiful hiking paths and vineyards, offering a fantastic location for guests to explore. The rooms are cozy and well-equipped with modern amenities, although they are on the smaller side. The dining experience provided excellent A La Carte options, but the setting could be improved. The service was generally good, with kind staff, but there seemed to be some issues with management guidance. Overall, a pleasant stay with a unique location and comfortable rooms.
Upon entering, the room had a bad smell but it disappeared after running water in the sink and shower. The rooms, despite showing signs of wear, are classy and tastefully appointed, yet they smelled of mildew and were extremely humid. The service was very nice and helpful, attending to every detail, even fetching eggs for guests within a 10-minute drive to the supermarket. The location, overlooking vineyards and transformed into a luxury hotel, offers stunning views over vineyards, forests, and proximity to Arrabida beaches and Setubal. The dining experience, in a cozy setting, was excellent with fresh juice and fruits. The facilities of the hotel were accommodating and meet various needs.
The hotel offers very quiet and comfortable rooms, with a fine dining experience. However, there was initially a bad smell that dissipated after running water. The rooms, though spacious and comfortable, felt claustrophobic due to bars on the windows.
