“A wonderful stay - in spite of a couple of niggles ”

We had a very enjoyable and relaxing few days. The room was well appointed and with a wonderful view. The pool was excellent (large, clean and also benefiting from that fantastic view). Our dinner experience was special each evening; the food was good and the staff made it an occasion. The only disappointment was a low key welcome on the first day - we were given little more than a room key. We had to work quite hard to get information about what was on offer - either in the hotel or in the local area. Tip for guests without cars - be wary of taxis. Either agree a price or check the meter is running. We used taxis for 6 trips. For 4 trips the fare was reasonable but for the other 2 the price was almost double what it should have been (and what the hotel reception estimated). We were given various excuses by the hotel but they really should be able to secure a reasonably reliable taxi price for their most popular local attractions.

I gave the hotel 5 circles, but there is one thing that spoiled our stay: the walls are very thin and there was a family with little kids and a baby next to us that woke us up at 6am. However, since having babies in a room next to you is not something that probably happens often in this Quinta, I didn’t want to penalize the hotel. Other than this one thing, our stay was perfect. Pros: - The room is beautiful and comfortable, with huge and functional closet, outside terrace, and other comforts. - The beds are reasonably comfortable - The food (dinner) was simply outstanding. This was the best meal we had in all of Portugal. (By the way, Casa dos Ecos lunch at another Quinta not far was great too, but not quite as good as this dinner) - The service was great Cons: - Antique wall hair dryer in the bathroom - Tiny twin beds.
