Offbeat Portugal

Really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The Lobby deco was very cool, blending old & rustic with current decor tends such as industrial. The breakfast buffet was the best of our entire trip. Top notch. The only minor change I would have made was to have been up on a higher floor. We were just above the lobby, so at certain times we could hear the music from below, but it was not on late. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Great location. Close to everything including the water, without being loud & noisy.

Oh my gosh, where do I start..the location & grounds are stunning. We arrived & were informed that there was an optional wine tasting that we could attend if we wanted. We went to the meeting area for it, where we were then separated into two groups: those that spoke Portuguese & those who spoke English. They then took us to rough the winery, into their caves & did a very fun, entertaining , informative, wonderful wine tasting. Afterwards we were invited to their tasting room if we wanted to sample other wines, which we did. They were happy to have us taste many wines, liberal pours. We couldn’t help ourselves, we ordered serval bottles of various wines & had them shipped home. Lovely staff. Food in the restaurant was very good & service was perfect.
