We stayed here to access the national park and the nearby limestone caves which are worth seeing. Signage to the reception at the property could be clearer but it is a prominent building in the small village. Breakfast was very good although the absence of tea / coffee amenities in the room meant you had to access them from a common area at cost (expensive). Room tariff included access to some relaxation pools (3 small pools with different temperatures) which was a good experience although you have to pre-book. Bathroom is not very private as the shower screen is clear glass above the bed - may be an issue for some people. Nice building design and clearly focused on eco- friendly options.

Awesome stay among olive trees
Posted 17 Jan 2024 on HotelsThis is a wonderful hotel. Check in is efficient and also fun.
The rooms are very comfortable, clean and with comfortable beds. We also really enjoyed our breakfast experience with eggs cooked to order. We didn’t get a chance to try their restaurant.
There are many funky touches through this property and I imagine would be a lot of fun for a young child to experience.
There is also a beautiful outdoor pool and a 3 tiny indoor pools that you get for your self for 30 min if pre-booking ahead of time.
The caves near by are must see.

Such a beautiful hotel, in the middle of the nature. The staff was amazing since the moment we checked until the very last moment we left. They showed us all the premises, recommended us nice restaurants to go and have a nice meal, let us stay after the check out time to enjoy the pool. The room was gorgeous, modern, clean, amazing! The infinite pool was lovely, with plenty of space betweenness the sofas and chair for people to sunbath. Let’s not forget we stayed at the hotel in the middle of the all COVID situation. The staff handled it very well, the breakfast had to be booked so there was enough room for us to enjoy a lovely buffet in a safe and quiet environment. I will definitely come back!

Fabulous hotel
Posted 29 Mar 2016 on HotelsBeautiful surroundings and an extremely relaxed hotel. Loved it. The cookery lesson was fantastic. You were left to your own devices to do as you pleased. They light a fire in the evening and supply blankets for you to use outside, the staff are almost invisible. Bliss.

Some nice visitors in the winter. Great room for children to play. Rooms are ok, the building is very very nice, the place is remote and that is nice. This is not for nightlife, but for enjoying peace and nature. Please - reduce the heating, rooms too hot. The cooking dinner is too expensive.

Two days in peace in nature.
Posted 11 Jan 2016 on HotelsStayed with family for two nights. Very nice atmosphere, a relaxing place. For Portugal a little expensive. Around there are not many options for dinner, but the ones avaliable are ok. The staff are as relaxed as the place, which means they will take too long to do anything. The building is great, the rooms are great, and the experience is great. The mountains around are also very nice to explore.
