Hotel Dengan Kolam di Daerah Beja, Portugal

Very good service, nice staff with and attentive. I enjoy it all jacuzzi and pool. Thank you so much

This conversion from a convent has been superbly done, and the result is an elegant hotel full of character and charm. The attractive front facade doesn’t mislead, nor does the wonderful courtyard at the rear which is a great place for a drink. The interior and our room were in keeping with the external impression, and were both comfortable and interesting. There is a tranquil and welcoming ambience, helped by the very personable and professional team. We had a very good breakfast, and the bar was reasonably priced - there are a lot of really nice communal areas for a relaxing drink especially in the corridors overlooking the courtyard. The location is quiet but convenient, all in all a lovely hotel.

At any decent quality hotel we expect to have a good night's rest. Certainly in a 4-star (****) hotel. Unfortunately, this was not the case in this hotel. We have gotten a room at the very east side of the building (opposite side from the reception) and got 'entertained' by a loudly, noisy air-condition type of sound, all night long. It was even not from any neighbouring room, it definitely came from the far east side of the building. Not to mention the overall quality of the room and the furniture, which couldn't pass the 3-star bar.

Wir hatten uns als Abschluß / letzten Stop unserer Portugalreise bewusst für ein kleineres Hotel entschieden. Vielleicht war der Kontrast, zu den anderen Hotels davor, zu groß, aber wir können uns nicht zu 100% den anderen Bewertungen anschließen. Wir sind recht spät - gegen 18:00 Uhr gekommen - und waren daher auch schon etwas erschöpft. Der Weg dorthin ist abenteuerlich (und diese Info gehört dringend auf die Homepage!!). Wir waren froh das wir einen Mini SUV als Mietauto hatten, aber wenn es dort regnet ist wahrscheinlich nicht machbar die Straße. Besonders am Abend wurde es noch mal schwieriger. Und ja man muss halt dann doch noch mal am Abend los fahren, weil man komplett abgeschieden ist und die ersten Lokale in Millefort sind (ca. 15 Min.). Wir wurden von einer sehr netten Dame begrüßt und haben uns mit ein paar englisch Brocken versucht zu verständigen. Anmeldung war dann via Handy und einem Kollegen in einem der anderen Hotels. Der erste Eindruck des Zimmers - sauber, aber es roch muffig. Der Außenbereich etwas heruntergekommen (Tisch kaputt, die Wand bröckelte). Badezimmer sehr veraltet und die Badewanne fleckig. Es gibt keine Klimaanlage, sondern nur einen Ventilator. Der große Kühlschrank brummt vor sich hin. Beim Schlafen gehen ist uns erst aufgefallen, dass das Doppelbett nicht nur unbequem sondern auch sehr klein ist. Schätzungsweise ist das Bett 1,40 x 1,90. Das Einzelbett für unsere Tochter war deutlich länger. Nebenan bellte bis ca. Mitternacht ein Hund. Die Schlafqualität ist also ziemlich mies. Das Frühstück am nächsten Tag ist familiär und hat gut geschmeckt. Die Möglichkeit Orangensaft selbst zu pressen fand besonders unsere Tochter toll. Leider war es alles in allen kein so tolles Erlebnis und würden wir nicht wieder machen!

This is a very good hotel, ideal for a weekend break and especially if you want to be near to the beautiful Guardiana river. We travelled up the Portuguese side and visited Mertola which was, to be honest, a bit underwhelming but as the road gave way to the Alentejo countryside, appreciation was lifted. The hotel was easy to locate, impressive even in the mist and gentle rain and we felt instantly that it wa a good choice. The reception was warm and friendly and our room was substantial with all facilities, very clean and well prepared and had a lovely view over the swimming pool. The observatory was under modification; the games room in the Library was good to have even though it was quite cold. We did arrive on a Sunday night - the restaurant was open with an understandably limited menu. One of us is a no-fish vegetarian and so it is our fault that there was nothing we could sit down to and we could find nothing open in the village. But it was our fault. Should have rung ahead. We would happily visit again. Breakfast was extensive and good but, other than pancakes, nothing hot.

We received a warm welcome on arrival at the hotel. Receptionist spoke English and offered us drinks which was lovely with the bar overlooking the river. The pool was open which was ideal because we had found many hotel pools closed in April. The pool wasn't heated but was warm enough being sited in the sun. Room wasn't big but had a lovely view of the river and a balcony to sit on. Breakfast was good.

Defeitos: barulho do ar condicionado do quarto 2, pois a ventoinha está na varanda do quarto 3 (era o nosso) e está solto no chão Deixo uma dica, colocar uma toalha por baixo. Longe do centro/praias (cerca de 2 a 3km), obriga a levar sempre o carro. De resto foi top, piscina muito boa.

Location is good if you travel by car because of free parking and it's 15-20 min walking to the town center (3-5 min by car). The room was quite big and in pretty good conditions. But there weren't some amenities you expect in a 4 star hotel like slippers, bathrobe or kettle/coffeemaker. Bed and pillows were good. Buffet breakfast was typical (cheeses, hams, eggs, cereals, pastries, fruits) except for lack of vegetables. If you don't want to have an unexpected visit of a housemaid at 9-10 o'clock in the morning (without _any_ warnings like knocking on door or questions) use ”do not disturb” sign!

Check-in - - - good luck. The two addresses for checking in took us on a frustrating hour and a half journey. First to a closed up office in town. I was lucky to run into a nice local resident who helped me find the second address I was given. This took me to a beach restaurant. The manager there directed me to a hotel about a kilometre away where check-in was completed. When I told them about the address problems, they said it was because we booked through a third party - - - I said that they need to communicate with the third party better if they are allowing them to book their rooms. Whatever - - - just give me my key. With check-in complete, we drove to the accommodation. Poor directions from the hotel but we found our way to a pot-hole ridden gravel road down a steep embankment. We almost turned around as we were unsure if it was the correct road. Finally, the room. It was clean, but felt ”old”. Nothing updated except the windows - - - old kitchen, old bathroom, old bedrooms. Mediocre at best. This place could be ”so much more” with its location.

We arrived in Odemira without a place to stay and rang up the Quinta, where Antonio was so welcoming and gave us directions to the farm, 2 km outside of town. Love and respect are clearly the foundation of this family enterprise. Antonio and Teresa are both lovely and constantly helpful with restaurant suggestions and reservations, special needs, hiking recommendations. They aim to make your stay special and unforgettable. The room was comfortable and spacious, and the facilities were wonderful—the beautiful salt water pool was a special treat. It was fun to explore the farm and grounds and to meet the three-week-old donkey. The breakfast buffet, included in the room rate, is exceptional—particularly the homemade jams and preserves, local cheeses, and fresh-baked cakes, not to mention eggs cooked to order. I’m sure we gained weight. After a month of touring Portugal’s cities and towns, our relaxing stay in this beautiful and warm environment was the perfect ending to our trip.

Zona calma, a poucos minutos do centro e praia. Quarto agradável, asseado e o pessoal muito simpático. Recomendo!
