「The host greeted us at the gate with keys and a quick tour of the lovely property. This house is the best location in which we have ever stayed: Attention to detail is evident everywhere from the bed and bath linens to the kitchenware to the overall design of the unit’s layout. Very clean and brightly lit, yet with excellent privacy. The neighborhood is quiet and quite suitable for a stroll to view others' gardens. Guest comfort is paramount though and through.」

「Passamos 4 dias na Casa da Corte, na Quinta Lamosa, e gostamos muito! A casa é muito espaçosa, tem uma cozinha bem completa, lareira, varanda com vista para a mata e um deck que deve ser muito aproveitado no verão (Estivemos lá no inverno). Tb tem piscina, bicicletas e aceita animais! O João, proprietário, nos recebeu muito bem e deu muitas dicas úteis. Ficamos com vontade de voltar outras vezes.」

「Experiência incrível, espaço maravilhoso, cuidado e super bem organizado. O conceito é fenomenal e resulta super bem. A vista é inexplicável, bem como o silêncio. O sr. João é duma amabilidade que não tem palavras. Toda a gente deveria viver uma experiência assim, é única.」

「What a lovely spot, our favorite of our time in Portugal. Pedro was amazing, offering help with how to use the stove, or suggesting the best hike, or speaking with the neighbor,Maria. This spot is for the natural enthusiast, someone who enjoys the mountainous views, beautiful sunsets and basketball on the terrace with your son. Thank you for an amazing stay! 」

「casa pequenina com um pátio de uma área razoável para poder apanhar sol ou descontrair, numa ambiência rural, zona muito tranquila, com tudo necessário para 2 pessoas puderem disfrutar de uns dias tranquilos.」

「Ganz tolle Unterkunft in einer genialen Umgebung! Die Gastgeber sind unglaublich nett und hilfsbereit. Der Pool ist unglaublich. Er ist riesig, ideal zum Schwimmen und Spaß haben. Die Wohnung ist auch riesig und hat drei Badezimmer. Alles topp. Auch die Außenanlagen sind topp. Der Ort selbst ist wunderbar. Die Einheimischen super hilfsbereit, nett und noch überhaupt nicht durch Tourismus betroffen. Man kann so richtig eintauchen in diese Gemeinschaft. 」

"Two reasons you should consider this hotel but many more reasons not to book!
Good things: the spa and restaurant staff are great, and the location is exceptional but they’re many other hotels next door.
Bad things:
- unfriendly receptionist: the receptionists were not attentive and friendly throughout my 3-day stay, especially the one who checked me in. I just looked at the other guest comments, it seems my bad experience was not unique to me.
- Room conditions: the room has a very small window (like a prison) that offers almost no natural night. Hotels.com must indicate this in the room description because people like me do mind. Also, the room size is small.
- Noise: Throughout my entire stay, I could not sleep well because of the noise coming from both inside and outside of the hotel. Imagine disco music is On till 2am.
- Housekeeping: the bathrobes were being removed from the room and clean towels were not refilled. The cleaning and amenities were random - good luck!
Extra charge: 20 Euro for the receptionist to just make a phone call to get a taxi, while the taxi ride costs just 10 Euro. I’d rather pay an extra fee to the taxi driver who actually delivered a service and drove me to the train station safely. Where does it say in the hotel’s public information on this extra charge? Shouldn't it be a part of the 5-star hotel? "
