The personnel was so friendly!
We enjoyed the breakfast very much, as well as the cooking experience.
Although we found the wheather to cold to swim, it was amazing to just enjoy the sun outside while reading a book.
Not to forget the nature surrounded by the place which is perfect for walkings on/off road :)
Finally, you cannot leave without having a massage, and please take the Ayurvedic one!
Thanks for making our stay so nice!

This is a fantastic hotel. You must experience it to fully understand. We came from Lisbon and went deeper and deeper into the mountainside - then it is amazing to find something like this. We stayed for two nights in a new small self-catering complex next to the hotel called “The Nest”. We slept there only and had all our meals and services at the hotel. Went bicycling every day in great surroundings, very hilly, but no problem with e-bikes. We can truly recommend the hotel, and the service was great from the moment we came till we left.
Thank you so much for your preference, Henning D.
It was a pleasure having over at The Nest and it is great to learn that you enjoyed this new place of ours!
Thank you so much for the lovely review!
We hope to see you again soon!
We were expecting a lot based on the review and the description in the brochure and on the website. Unfortunately this hotel puts concept before content. The room was an explosion of colours, the food was average at best and this hotel is nowhere ecological. Overall a very big disappointment. The only positive is the welcome and hospitality of the staff and owner.
Dear Rudi,
First of all, we would like to thank you for your visit and review. But please let us assure you that we are indeed an ecological hotel and here are some examples to prove it:
we separate all our waste and recycle it,
we use sunlight as an energy source,
we use low consumption lights,
our isolation materials (like cork, for example) are eco friendly,
not a single tree was put down to build to hotel,
we don't use water on our garden,
and our gardens are the living ground of endemic plants.
Best regards,
Very nice experience ! Not a traditional hotel. Very peaceful in the middle of a national park. Super breakfast, very nice atmosphere. The people are very helpful, very open. Every room is special and different. You need to explore this.
Dear Katty,
Thank you so much for the kind review of our Hotel. It was a pleasure having you here and we hope we get to see you again soon!
All the best
My wife and I only booked one night here and it was a mistake. You need at least two nights to enjoy all the benefits of the hotel and surroundings. Tania welcomed us warmly and efficiently and we settled in with a delicious but simple lunch that we intended to be modest but was actually very generous. The afternoon was spent relaxing by the beautiful outdoor pool before a truly delicious Portuguese tapas style dinner where we shared three dishes - mussels, calamari and sweet potato mash, and a steak espetada. We enjoyed a bottle of wine from the Minho region on their apparently very worthwhile wine list. The bedroom was well appointed and very comfortable and we had a balcony with beautiful mountain views. Definitely should have stayed longer.
Thank you so much for the lovely words about our hotel, Neil.
It is a true pleasure to see our work recognised!
We hope to see you again soon!
I stayed here for two nights as part of a tour. It was lovely - rooms with movie themes, I had the Marie Antoinette which had a great view over the surrounding hills.
Perfect place to do some local walks, like by the pool, read your book and have a massage. If you’re looking for somewhere that’s fast paced this is not the place for you.
Food is simple and good - you need to order dinner earlier in the day.
Dear Alison,
Thank you so much for the kind review on our Hotel. It was a pleasure having you here and we hope we get to see you again soon!
All the best
