Great very remote location with a spectacular view of the alqueva lake. Comfortable bed and a very nice room. Friendly and very helpful staff. From check in to check out everything was great! We particularly loved the dogs (Estrella!) and the very quiet pool area. If you want to relax in the middle of nowhere this is the place to be!

The only thing I missed were two very little things but nothing which made my stay less enjoyable; better comfortable chair / laying chairs options perhaps at the rooms terrace and that the restaurant was exactly closed on sunday and monday when we were there was very unfortunate but again here we got great help and phenomenal recommendations from the hotel staff.

Just the perfect place for a rest and recovery.. Everything was clean and neat, the pool and surroundings are incredible with Alqueva always on the sight, breakfast is very tasty and fresh, staff was 100% friendly and nice on all occasions, always with a smile on their faces, all of them have spoiled our little dog (Ellie) including the other sweet dogs in the villa. all in all, absolutely recommend it - peaceful, quiet and full of positivity, where you can really connect with nature!

Nothing to add :) The restaurant a bit below expectations / service was fine but food was only OK

We stayed in different type of the room. First night room with a lake view without a plugged pool. 2nd night stayed with a view of countryside with a plugged pool. Both room are amazing with spectacular view. Our favorite is the one facing country side with plugged pool as it is facing Monsaraz castle. We traveled with our dog and the property is dog friendly hotel. This is the place where you wanna get away from hustle bustle life. Definitely will be back to this hotel. Not forgot to mentioned that the staff is super helpful and friendly.

This is a gem of a place. But beware and do your research - it is pretty much middle of nowhere - which is one of its plus points! We had the Alqueva suite with private plunge pool and view of the lake - stunning. We had a flawless sky and so really got to appreciate the stars and the milky way. The room is huge and beautifully presented. The staff were amazing and could not have been more helpful - booking trips for us and generally being there for everything we needed. We will be going back to see the spring in full bloom.

It is hard to dislike anything here but if I had to give them a recommendation - the restaurant is just a little bit too much like a cafe. In the evening it is a little bright and lacks a little atmosphere.

The hotel room was beautiful. The design was impeccable and the rooms and location were quiet and private. I wish I could decorate my own home so well. Bed was comfortable and I slept well. Shower was hot. At dinner there was only one choice, but the chef could prepare a vegetarian meal if you like. I tried vegetarian one evening because I don't eat lamb and lamb was the only main course option. This hotel was perfect and I hope to come back one day.

I liked everything. If I had to complain, I would want the restaurant to have more options for dinner. It's a small hotel though so I understand why they didn't offer more.

We had a private pool on the terrace, with a spacious room

The dogs live in a house, which door you must pass to get to your room. When they are outside, they react very protective/agressive. It happened to us three times during our two night stay. I had to get to reception and ask to help me pass twice. And I like dogs! This should not be in a hotel in that price range, thats more a B&B situation.

Beautiful hotel with spectacular view, great infinty pool, superb property and very friendly staff. Had a fantastic 5 days stay!

Everything was fine

The place is amazing! It is very quiet, calming and zen. The staff is very welcoming with all the info needed. We enjoyed every moment of it. Stargazing is defenitely reccomended. The views are amaaazing, from the room, the pool and the restaurant. Very yoga friendly space and surrounding :) I really plan to come back in future. Wonderful experience.

What an amazing oasis in the Portugal countryside. Located on the largest man-made lake in Portugal, the hotel was truly beautiful. From the huge room, amazing staff, the wonderful restaurant and the cleanliness and detail of the space, our stay was perfect. Once here you really have to take a hike down to the lake. It has to be one of the most serene and beautifully natural landscapes I have ever seen. We were even greeted by a sheep and her new born lamb! Magical.

Really nice place with an amazing view of the lake from the pool and from the room. The room was well designed and felt spacious and clean. Breakfast was good.

Since there is not much around for nice restaurants, you will probably eat at the location. The dinner however could be better and more special. It feels like it is all the same.
