Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this charming hotel located on a working farm in the valley of Estrela Mountain. The rooms offer great views across the farm, and the constant barking from the closed garden added to the authentic farm experience. However, there were no farm activities to enjoy during my visit.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms offered a beautiful view of the sunset and were set in a lovely garden, the constant barking was a downside. The cozy fireplace added a nice touch to the room. The service was impeccable with great room service and a warm welcome drink. The location was unique, surrounded by farms and close to the stunning Serra Da Estrella mountains. The dining experience stood out with delicious dishes made from Portuguese products. The facilities were good, but the barking noise could sometimes be disruptive.
The hotel offers rooms with great views across the farm, featuring a fireplace and set in a closed garden with constant barking but with a view of a gorgeous sunset. The service is efficient, and the location is on a working farm in close proximity to the Cova do Lobo restaurant and the lake in the 'Serra' area near the Serra Da Estrella mountains. The dining experience includes products from the farm and Portuguese products. Despite some drawbacks, the hotel provides a unique experience with excellent amenities.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of pleasant and slightly annoying aspects. The rooms offered a lovely view of a gorgeous sunset and had a fireplace, but unfortunately, the closed garden surroundings resulted in constant barking noise. The great views across the farm were a highlight, though.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms provided a breathtaking view of a gorgeous sunset in a closed garden, although there was some constant barking nearby. The service was exceptional, with quick room service and a lovely welcome drink. The location, with great views across the farm, was idyllic and serene. The dining experience, featuring Portuguese products, was a true delight. The facilities were top-notch, providing a cozy fireplace for a relaxing evening.
