The house has an excellent location, great library with a fantastic view to the ocean, an even better terrace with an even better view to the ocean. The staff was above great! Giving the best experience right from the start and so many other places can learn from here. Breakfast was amazing. And the best part: There are cats around and the place built a house for the cats. They take good care of the cats. So lovely. Great water pressure and the free internet covers the whole place.
There is nothing at this place to not like. Everything was great. And I rarely, rarely rate a place to perfection.

After a long day's drive what a welcome relief to pull into the garage. The hotel sits high above the bay with beautiful views of the water. We were offered a welcome glass of the local wine (I forget the name but is delicious) and given a tour of the hotel. Our room was spacious and comfortable. We decided to eat dinner there since the weather wasn't nice and we were tired and that was a great decision. We had pork and soup which was outstanding; they made us feel like we were the only ones there. If you're looking for a little out of the way but close to Lisbon stay here.

Great location. 5 minutes walk into centre of town and the Castle, plenty of restaurants and cafes and a 10 minute walk downhill to the lovely Vasco da Gama Beach. Sines is Vasco do Gama birthplace. The hotel is currently owned by the Portuguese Society of Physicians, so all doctors get preferential bookings but it's open to the general public year round. Although 3 star, I'll give it a 4 star Boutique style hotel with only 20 spacious rooms, all with walk-in showers and full range of toiletries. The Aircon worked well and the WiFi speed was excellent as each room has it's own router. There were plenty of English speaking channels on the TV. The breakfast room was airy and bright and the choice of food was excellent with fresh orange juice, lots of fruit and excellent coffee. Secure underground parking for 20 cars and some motorcycle spaces. Overall, a lovely friendly beautifully decorated hotel with plenty of internal space including a library, gym and a pool table.
Unfortunately the beds were rock hard for all of us (we had 2 rooms), the eggs and bacon at breakfast were cold.

One of the most memorable hotels I've stayed at - ANYWHERE in the world! What makes it incredibly special are the staff - they just can't do enough for you! Annabel at reception personally walked us around the house. Gabby and Olga in the dining area went so far beyond expectations as to make us feel like we had been personally welcomed into someone's home. The hotel was originally designed as a home away from home for doctors. To this day, doctors receive a discount when they stay there! The property is owned by the government, and the staff seem to consider it a privilege to work there - they are very proud of the property and really work hard to ensure that every guest is incredibly pampered. The city of Sines is a must see. Whereas the Algarve is very crowded, Sines is relaxed - a slower pace of life. Very, very friendly people, even friendlier than you'll find elsewhere in Portugal.
This is one of those rare reviews where I really don't have anything negative to say...

Location .Staff were amazing wanting to make your stay perfect. Comfortable and good sized room. Sines may be an industrial town but if you can ignore that it has a lot to offer . The beaches in the town and nearby are superb . Food was good as well.

This is a great hotel, staff are very friendly and welcoming. The public areas are excellent with great views of the bay and a nice outdoor terrace, where we had drinks and breakfast in the morning, the quality of the breakfast was superb.
The only downside was the fact that the bedrooms do not have balconies, however, we were aware of this prior to booking.

The historic building is beautiful from the outside as from the inside. It is perfectly located in Sines having a stunning view on the shore and the seaside. The staff is extremely kind and helpful, the rooms are big and very comfortable. The breakfast is just great with a rich and fresh offer. Ideal place to relax. We can only recommend it.

We stayed one night here on our way to the Algarve. Excellent host who greeted us with a glass of wine and a pastel de nata, showed us the breakfast area and then took us to our room. Everything was great. Indoor parking was included, if needed.
