Country Houses Alentejo CA $118

"This hotel is located just outside of the city walls so it was easy to walk into the old city. Parked on the street which was safe. The staff were very lovely and helpful. The hotel seems very new and the breakfast was very good."

"The hotel was greatly overvalued/overpriced and unless you are a convention crowd I would not advise a couple to go there. The food was pedestrian at best and the wait staff was unable to answer how the meal would be prepared. As a result I received a meal I would not have ordered if it were accurately described. I should have sent it back. In the rooms you pay if you use expresso pods and still water. The bathrooms are small and tight (difficult to maneuver in the shower.) The rooms are far from reception and to carry luggage/packages with stairs is difficult to deal with. To be fair the rooms are large, albeit dark. The bed was comfortable. The internet was intermittent and unavailable a good amount of time. The two days we were there we could not use our balcony patio due to repair cranes used to clean the roof tiles and to repaint being adjacent thereto. The property is about 10 minutes from town by car and there is nothing one can reasonably walk to from there. That said, the adjacent church is very beautiful and my visit to it was the highlight of the stay. It was our last hotel on our two week visit to the country and easily the one we wish we had not booked."

"Only stayed overnight. Mid April hotel was quiet. Room overlooked pool. Beautiful. Location ideal to explore area by foot. Breakfast delightful. "

"Dirty bathroom. Very hot room with inadequate AC. No breakfast even though we booked breakfast with our room. They had no record of it and blamed it on using Expedia. Said we shouldn’t have used them and that is why we didn’t get the breakfast. Beyond disappointed. Waste of time and money. Zero stars! "

"Excellent location close to sites, friendly and helpful staff, convenient parking, quiet hotel. Only negative, beds were quite firm. We enjoyed our stay"

"The hotel is ultra modern, almost to an extreme. It sits on a very busy corner with lots of traffic and so is noisy. We would not stay again for this reason."

"WOW!! Simply incredible. We have never been so relaxed. From the moment we arrived and were greeted with someone to look after us, to the moment we left we were well looked after. This is a luxury hotel with amazing rooms, the resort is so peaceful with gorgeous surroundings. It is a perfect place to sit or enjoy the spa and let time go by. 10/10 we loved our stay here"

"It was superbly relaxing. The staff was beyond helpful and the grounds were almost too spacious if there is such a thing."

"It is a beautiful property. However, if you are not staying here with small children you may be disappointed. The hotel clearly markets itself as very child and family friendly, and it has dedicated children’s areas that are very close to main areas such as the dining room. As a result it is not peaceful in many areas of the property. Even dedicated adult swimming pool hours in the spa are not respected by guests with their children. And the dining room at dinner was not at all peaceful. They should work toward separating the noise from main areas, as they have plenty of space. Also, one should avoid Room 207 as it is adjacent to the housekeeping staging area and one can hear noises of the linen carts throughout the day. "
