The place is magic BUT, it is TOO OLD. It needs urgent maintenance! PROS: The place is like paradise: the design of the hotel, the open spaces and the indoors are unique but they need to fix almost everything. Breakfast is pretty good and people running the hotel are beyond nice, they are so friendly. Great cocktails. CONS: The grass is flooded, chairs made of wood broken, the shower and bath are very damaged, the room smells so bad (humidity). And the 2 worst things in my opinion: 1) is not clean at all 2)it is suuuper expensive. It does not worth it, not for that price. I enjoyed my days in here, but I would never come back unless it is remodeled and they lower their prices.

Walking bare foot in hotel room is risky because of wooden floor that has some wooden splinters and cracks. Hotel room does not have any natural ventilation, eg no windows to open during the night. But be careful mosquitos reported by other guest. Pool area is too small for all the guest, at least it lacks beds. Main Pool is pretty small.

The staff is very friendly, but the hotel is getting on in years, with furniture and fixtures looking worn. As seen at the reception, which is not yet weathered, the operators are going for eco-chic. But because everything is a touch too rusty, I'd rather call it shabby chic or even just shabby (for example, the greenhouse. Don't be blinded by my flattering photos...). There are nice design ideas like the shower in the atrium of the suite, but their technical implementation is insufficient: The climate in the atrium is unbearable because of the non-opening glass roof and it smells stale. Other furnishing elements are completely impractical. When the toilet in our suite refused to flush in the middle of the night, the mood was ruined. And when I use the toilet next to the reception as a substitute in the morning, the flush doesn't work there either! What an embarrassing experience 8-(

This hotel doesn't deserve 5 stars. Where shall I begin? The online booking was a big confusion luckily I was able to wire transfer the amount for our booking. First of all, like many other people (from the reviews) I don't think their rooms are worth over 200€/night... It might be possible to ask this amount in the beginning,but now when lack on maintenance ...it is ashame they still keep asking the same! I fell for the interior design of this hotel, the eco label, although many things lost their glory over the years. So spending more then 200 euros a night almost feels like I'm being robbed. Don't go to the restaurant at night, Maria Batata the food is not good! The combination of codfish with a very sour pear and a sauce of cury(witch wasn't mentioned on the menu, because I hate cury) was impossible to eat... For the main course I took a coriander stew with white beens and choco/lulas, the lulas weren't well cooked so I ate white beans for the price of 15euro's. The only good thing about the restaurant was the service (so helpful and kind) and the drinks! Now about the hotel itself: it needs an update! Wood needs to be replaced. Silicone rubbers of the shower door are full of mold(suite 6). We took a bath in their beautiful concrete bath, when we came out we had to still take a shower because the plastic layer of the bathtub was peeling off ...this can not be the point?!? We also checked out the wedding venue, this needs a update as well! So I believe that in the beginning of this hotel when everything was new and fresh the rooms ,the hotel, the experience...all worth it! Now not so much...

This could be the most fantastic and unique hotel. It has such potential but the upkeep is not good and the service is nothing special. The rooms are dark and don't have a clean feeling. The grounds, too, have great potential but everything felt old and neglected. Breakfast was very good.

Great organic design & furniture. Food is hit or miss, sometimes really good but often also not that great.

TL;DR: Not worth the fortune you're charged! Maybe worth €100. Not more. Design. Literally the only thing this hotel has to offer. Well that and the cheesecake at the restaurant. But is that worth €200+/night and ~€65/dinner/person/? Absolutely freaking not. This is not a bad hotel, mind you (even as you read my review), it's just that the price is not justified. At all. Rooms: very nice design. Period. The bathtub had hairs inside (black hairs on black bottom...). No separate shampoo (let alone conditioner) and shower gel (mind you: this is a €200+ room). Hand soap is provided but no place where to put it... Wooden floors with splinters mean you can't walk barefoot. A lot of echo means you can't go number two in the middle of the night without your other half hearing you passing gas in their sleep. In the morning, the shade for the opening in the ceiling still lets sunshine through. Restaurant (dinner): again: design and the cheesecake at the end. We paid €65 each for a tasting menu full of things that are cheap to make (like bread and cheese or ovos rotos, aka, chips with fried eggs and farinheira). I mean they were good but defo not worth €65. We ordered a caipirinha which was served over ice cubes (as opposed to with crushed ice), which made it taste extremely strong. Terrible. We also ordered two Nordés gins (€13? each) and the lady serving us said that as a standard they were served with bay leaves but that they could do with basil leaves instead. Intrigued, we accepted the bay leaves suggestion. They came both with basil. It wasn't bad, but I mean what a farce of a service is this?! (again: for the price we paid). Restaurant (breakfast): to the same standard you'd get in a 3+/4-star / €100(!) a night hotel. Even then, maybe not because the kiwis were super acidic and the watermelon juice tasted sour (as if the uneaten watermelon from the day before was used to make the next day's breakfast juice; just speculating but I wouldn't exactly put it past them). Pool area: Full of annoying flies! Only bearable if you're in the pool. As soon as you step outside and lay down, a mini swarm of 13-14 flies (yes, we let them land on us and counted) comes to have some fun at your expense as you twitch like a fish out of the water trying to swat them away.

Gorgeous place with a friendly staff and outstanding food. I recommend it 🤝

People are nice and helpful, food is very good. Unfortunately the room 6 had a door that never longer locked, and the room had an unbearable mold odour forcing us to leave after one evening.

The location is nice, easy to access, close to the Highway, and near nice beach locations for a family with small kids. We stayed for a couple of nights, and on the first night, we had dinner in the local restaurant. The staff was nice and welcoming and always available to make you feel at home. Our room was spacious and cleaned daily. I found the concept great, but the room shows clear signs of "a lack of maintenance"; some parts (e.g. bathtub and bathrooms) needed a refurbishment. The room also had a funny smell when we entered the room the first time, which quickly went away after leaving the door open for a few minutes. Breakfast was normal but not exciting. Dinner was good but overpriced for the quality. On the second night, we ordered a fire pit that, although expensive (+20€), provided a nice couple of hours of entertainment outside. Outside, in the garden, the ponds were dirty, but it was, in the end, a good place for kids. Finally, there are 4 chargers for electric cars. Two Tesla Destiny Chargers and two from Porsche. Not sure it is compatible with all electric car brands. It was a decent stay that we enjoyed, but for the price we paid (which we have paid in other places), I would have expected all aspects to be a bit more upscale.

Pleasant staff, lovely setting, food was good but mains were cold, not cheap

Good hotel to rest, in a calm, peaceful environment. Well decorated rooms, however I think they are a little expensive in relation to quality / price.

Nice atmosphere. Style is a lot of concrete and wood, combined with an eco toch. Menu is diverse, exciting and interesting combinations.

Wow what can I say about this place although irs boutique its definitely not small, there is ample of space and really rustic and eco friendly. The rooms are gorgeous, although be careful of the marble flooring when wet. Gorgeous room bath and separate shower and separate toilet. The restaurant is exquisite, the food was a great concept... from the meadow - local animals , from the stream - local fish , from the garden - literally as they grow a lot of their own fresh produce and you can see it onsight. There is an outside pool here. And expect stunning sunrises too. You can hear plentiful of nature here too. Its such a haven ♡ perfect for honeymooners or a couples break. There is also a library here too you can enjoy. Although it is not next to the main town it is only a short drive away from the stunning local Lagoon and gorgeous beaches.

Comfortable room, good food and cosy restaurant. The price is, however, not worth the stay in general. We got the room with a cascade that didn’t work. We let the personnel know and got told they would look into it and possibly change our room. However, nothing was done about it: no feedback, no room change, no price reduction. The plant ‘market’ (as they named it) was also under poor maintenance with most plants getting ready for their own funeral. Don’t recommend it overall. There’s a bunch of options for this kind of stay with much lower prices!

I stayed here for one night and it was fantastic. The suites are very spacious, quiet and quite modern. the best parts are without a doubt the bathtub and the indoor fireplace. It was raining when stayed too so it made it very cozy and atmospheric. Because of the pandemic the restaurant seating was somewhat limited but they managed to serve us food in our suites, it was very comfortable and the food was fantastic. My favourite were the baked potatoes with garlic sauce. We also had breakfast included in our stay and it was a fantastic spread, it was brought to us in a cute basked, the service was excellent, very friendly and they accommodated all my requests.

I went only for food. Fair experience, but menu is confusing, and difficult to recognize the style of the dishes.

A super beautiful space to be. Great food, nice rooms, good drinks, nice little shop and a real hide away to hang out. highly recommended!

Wow!! Beautiful hotel! The room was lovely, I loved the greenhouse, the garden, and the orchard. The library was beautiful and impressive. The pool was a little chilly but great to sit next to and occasionally brave into when I got too hot. It was a very short, pretty drive to Obidos from the hotel. Dinner at the restaurant was good. The breakfast was amazing! They had fresh breads and what looked like homemade jams and granola. I would definitely love to stay there again!
