Hotel Dengan bar di Setubal District, Portugal

I was genuinely surprised by the quality; honestly, I don't understand why it's not rated as 5 stars. From the moment of arrival, the experience was flawless. The decor is elegant, modern, and meticulously detailed, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The rooms are beautiful: modern, clean, extremely comfortable, and equipped with everything needed for a perfect stay. I chose a sea-view room, which was magnificent! The amenities are another strong point, from the outdoor and indoor pools to the gym, which completely exceeded my expectations. It's very well-equipped and a pleasant place to work out. Regarding the gastronomy, everything we tried was of excellent quality. You can tell there's care, consistency, and attention to detail. But the true highlight, without a doubt, is the service. It was simply exceptional. From the reception to the restaurant and bar, the entire team demonstrated professionalism, friendliness, and genuine attention that made all the difference. I truly felt welcomed throughout my stay. A very special thank you to João, the bar manager if I'm not mistaken, whose service was impeccable, extremely professional, attentive to detail, and always available. He truly made a difference in our experience. 100 out of 100! And not to forget the rest of the team, a big thank you. It was a memorable experience. Without a doubt, a hotel to return to.

Queríamos reportar uma ocorrência desagradável. Chegamos ao hotel no dia 26.12.2025 às 20 horas e deparamo-nos com uma recepção vazia e um átrio deserto. Aguardamos algum tempo e tentamos chamar alguém, sem sucesso. Passados 20 minutos de espera, sai subitamente de uma porta dissimulada na parede, uma recepcionista apressada que se dirige ao computador, brindando-nos secamente com ”Boa noite”. Respondi ”Boa noite” acrescentando ”estamos há 20 minutos à espera numa recepção deserta”. Tivemos como resposta, de olhos fixos no computador, ”estava na minha pausa de jantar”. Nunca nos tinha acontecido... De resto, o hotel é acolhedor e agradável, e as interações com os restantes funcionários decorreram normalmente, sendo os mesmos profissionais e atenciosos. Recomendamos o hotel, desde que os hospedes possam evitar as ”pausas para refeições” da recepção.

The room was pleasant and clean and the bathroom was horrible and deserved some good works . Small breakfast very weak little variety no longer to speak I had 10 minutes waiting for them to raise a table because they were all the tables full of dirt locks and there were no tables available I had to ask to raise a table to get to take breakfast.

Stayed at upon vila for 4 nights. First impressions were very good starting with the location which faces the Targus river and a short drive to several restaurants on the sea front. My room was quite big and had several seats and a table and 2 chairs on the balcony. A complimentary bottle of water and some cookies were also waiting in my room. Breakfast times were from 8am - 11am which is great for late risers. First impressions on breakfast was disappointing. They had a few cereals limited fruit and pastries. They only had eggs and bacon for the cooked breakfast and on another day mushrooms. Also the same items were served over the 4 days. It would have been better to vary the menu each day. Overall a pleasant stay but disappointed with breakfast choices.

The hotel has sea views, but it's not first-line, located high up in the distance. The staff were generally very friendly. The superior room is small, as is the bathroom, but adequate. The minibar is super quiet; the toilet hose's pressure was a bit out of control. The sound insulation to the hallway and outside isn't the best, but it's not too bad either. I didn't hear any noise from the other rooms. The spa and pool are tiny; they control capacity with advance reservations, and small children are only allowed in the morning. The gym has a few machines, enough to work the major muscle groups. Breakfast is varied; in my opinion, it lacks the typical Alentejo bread. On the first day, the scrambled eggs looked very dry, but by the second day, they were already good. I think it's rude for the staff to start rushing around 10 a.m., clearing tables, restricting access to only part of the buffet, and then starting cleaning and not restocking. It was a pleasant stay.

It is always so good to be back. Even on a winter day, the hotel makes you feel comfortable. Relaxing landscape in a very large room, with an excellent bed. Water and chocolates are provided as courtesy. The balcony seems to put you inside the countryside, breath in breath out, and take all the fresh air you can. You can even take a bath while you enjoy the view. Breakfast is sublime. Freshly baked eggs on demand, coffee bar with hand made beverages, pastry and fresh fruit with several local items available. All of this while you glance at the infinite pool. You can even have breakfast outside, if it is not to cold.

Well located. Good for relaxing and enjoying a wonderful ocean.

Very pleasant, this is the second time I've come and this time I liked the room I stayed in more. Very friendly staff. I recommend i

I love this hotel and have been there many times throughout the years. It still have the same charm despite the fact that is getting old, however a lot of updates and improvements have been done to keep it up to date. On personal note I will suggest to open the interior pool early. As the opening time it's 10 am. I personally love to swim first thing in the morning, before breakfast and since there is no one from staff in there , they just need to open the door. I ask at the reception but was told it was impossible to do that. So I live the suggestion for the future! Thank you.

We had a wonderful stay at Herdade da Matinha — truly a little piece of paradise. A big thank you to Santiago, the hotel manager, who kindly upgraded us to a fantastic room in the adults-only area, with a beautiful view over the surrounding nature. We loved the atmosphere: horses, chickens and their little chicks, frogs and nature all around. The food was also excellent. The Rota Vicentina passes right by the property, and the Fishermen’s Trail and Praia do Malhão are just a short drive away. A very special place to slow down and enjoy nature. We would happily come back!
