Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room was just okay, with a musty smell and threadbare furnishings, but the comfortable bed and fresh linen made up for it. The location was great, overlooking the Alentejo plains, but there was a bit of disorganization. The service was very friendly and helpful, though lacking some experience. The dining experience was unique and delicious, but there was an option to eat at a local restaurant for a change. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives.
The hotel rooms overlook the valley and have a faint scent of incense, which adds to the serene setting. The rooms are spacious, well-furnished, and offer a lovely view of the property and hills. The service is attentive, kind, and dedicated to enhancing the old and complex building. The location is ideal for a peaceful escape, set in a magical mountain with beautiful views. The dining experience is delightful with tasty and abundant options.
The hotel is nestled in a serene rural area of Serra de Ossa, offering a perfect spot to relax away from crowded places. The rooms were pleasant but not as expected from the booking description. The service was attentive and professional, ensuring a memorable stay. The dining experience was tasty but lacked variety, ideal for seafood lovers. The location is ideal for day trips and wine enthusiasts, surrounded by nature and offering a peaceful retreat.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms, overlooks the valley with a hint of incense in the air, but needs some renovation. The service is friendly and attentive, though there were some organizational issues. The location is beautiful and perfect for relaxation, with a charming familial touch. Dining is delightful with local recommendations. Facilities are adequate overall.
