The rooms are way too small. I’ve already upgraded my room but still tiny. Can barely get around. Also no mini bar no safe. The machine at the gym did not work for me, tiny gym no free weights. Steam room didn’t work well neither. Friendly staff but service can be slow at their restaurant. Also lunch doesn’t serve until 1pm which is quite late already plus we had to wait almost one hour for our meal to come the first day we arrived. The pool at the property is nice but the water is icy cold. I wouldn’t jump in unless I’m into ice bath plunge.

Charming hotel nestled in a nature park
My friends and i were looking for a place to stay on our way from Porto before Lisbon and we were pleasantly surprised. Wished we could have stayed longer. The hotel has a new section that is very modernized and an older section with the original home from the 1700s. The older home is beautiful but you should be forewarned that there isn’t an elevator to the second floor. If you have lots of bags its a small inconvenience. There’s a nature park, restaurant, and spa. The grounds are beautiful, and made us wish we could stay longer to explore the area. Lovely hotel! The location is 10 minutes from A1 and 10 minutes to downtown Manfra.

Beautiful hotel but chaotic check and service
We stayed for a wedding at another venue nearby. The service was disorganised and chaotic and they struggled to cope with the guest changeover. We asked for an early check in as we have a baby and they promised to do their best. They said our room would be ready by 1.30pm. They then gave our room accidentally to another party with the same surname. Waited another 40 mins. Due to a private party, their only restaurant was closed and they weren't able to provide any food or refreshments. It was a hot day and this added to our frustration. We were finally allocated our room and started to rush to get ready. The shower was faulty and only produced boiling hot water. I called reception and waited. Then decided to have a go at forcing the thermostatic valve on the shower. I managed to force it round and finally the temperature of the water reduced enough to have a shower safely. The plug in the sink was also defective and prevented us from bathing our baby. Standard rooms do not have air conditioning nor ceiling fans. To me, this is unacceptable in a hot country like Portugal. I asked for a portable fan and they were vague about it. They then appeared to tell us there was a problem with the drains and we had to move. We had to repack and move our bags ourselves to the second room. The lift was faulty so I had to carry our pram and luggage up a steep flight of steps. This was one of their new air conditioned rooms which was a welcome relief from the sweltering heat.

We expected a calm and restful night. Instead we had to travel about 9 Km to the next town to find a place to eat since the restaurant was not serving any dinner. Also, breakfast buffet was very very poor.

Charming well situated Rural Turism
We had a great time here, lovely helpful staff and fantastic value for money with a out of season deal which included the use of a newly built spa. The XVII century converted farm buildings have kept their charm but have been modernised to provide a comfortable stay. There's a guest lounge (with TV, Games and where breakfast is served) in the old olive pressing room and the old wine making room has be turned into a conference/wedding venue where you can still see the huge stone tanks. There's enough outdoor space for a walk, moning jog or just to enjoy the gorgeous portuguese sunshine. As it was winter we didn’t use the outdoor pool but the area looked really nice.
