Charming hotel in a beautiful setting. The room was large and clean. We really enjoyed staying here especially after our time in the more crowded areas near the beaches.

Loved our stay!

Stayed at recently renovated Garden villa for three nights. Very clean and comfortable room. Beautiful surroundings.

Very beautiful hotel in beautiful Mountain area. Service was awesome. Staff very friendly. Elevator was out of order, but staff helped with luggage. In room phone was not working, had to walk down to reception to request help with luggage. I needed an iron. Had to walk down to get it. On our 1 week cross- Portugal trip we learnt that amenities like toothbrush/ tooth paste , body lotion, iron in room are not of standard amenities in the hotels. Breakfast was included, though hotel.com mentioned that we would be charged. Enjoyed our breakfast. Huge variety. However, coffee is provided only via a machine which lets you choose what kind of coffee( espresso, cappuccino, black/ latte) but taste was awful. It’s better to have tea. All in all we still enjoyed our stay.

The toilet & AC did not work properly. The shower head was very loos & could not stay properly. The wall & floor rag is dirty. The bed sheets were clean & the breakfast was good. To expensive for the price paid.

Great stay - lovely place.

Stayed here for two nights in a garden bungalow room. as part of a long weekend break. We enjoyed the thermal bathes which are situated just a few steps away from the hotel . The gardens and pool area were very relaxed and pretty . There is a nice bar on the site which closes at six which seems a bit strange. Maybe it’s because we’re out of season ? But was a lovely spot for a beer. The breakfast was good with lots of choice.. we did have one issue which the manager sorted very professionally and quickly which we were grateful for. Really lovely place very happy .
Michael, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible beds, worse food. Hotel is understaffed and the staff they have are mostly rude. The food is an absolute train wreck of grease. Turkish sauna was broken. The "thermal" water is not hot, but luke warmish. Locker room was disgusting. The property is beautiful and being wasted by imcompetent management. Stay elsewhere, eat in Monchique and stop by for a walk around the property.

Bad service in a old and unrenovated hotel

Old thermal hotel that need a real renovation in its concept and specially with their local staff that were for 2 days exceptionally and surprisingly unfriendly for Portugal . Rooms are ok , clean and average food mattress . Food is really poor in terms of quality , healthy and creativity . Low cost food !! The infrastructure is old and the maintenance is just made on surface ! Very bad service from the host at the Spa ( Ann) , unfriendly, rude and unpleasant . She made me decide to leave the place on the spot ! Staff of the restaurant t at breakfast we’re not friendly too : pleas Make a change and hire new and young staff ( I did have still some good attendance the night I arrived from the Brazilian staff working there ) . The source and fabric of the Monchique water was definitely not making me dreaming , big disappointment considering I love this water and it’s very healthy. In conclusion : I will not come anymore and can not recommend to anyone to stay there .

Short break on journey through Portugal

We decided to stay in the countryside for one night away from the busy coast. The Hotel is in a lovely natural park setting and has a pretty courtyard and a good size pool with sunbeds in a grassy garden. There is also a bar , restaurant and two shops onsite. Checking in was easy and professional and the room a good size and clean. As this was a night to just chill, after using the pool area which was clean and in good condition for the afternoon, we decided to eat at the restaurant. It was not busy, the service was ok for drinks, although not all on the menu were available. Similar story with food, although a shortish menu, not all available. After a 20-30 minute wait, the food arrived and mine was very nice as was the wine we had, unfortunately my wife's food came out cold, so it had to be sent back, we were told it would be re-done, but after another 20 minutes it had not come back. After more chasing it still did not arrive so we ended p cancelling that meal, very disappointed. The staff did apologise, and we were not charged for the wine and the 1 meal we got, so that was a good attempt to recover the situation. The Breakfast had no similar problems and was good, with a limited but good choice. We would stay again but might eat in the nearby village

Mysigt beläget hotell som ligger vid fin omgivning värd att besöka. Fint och fräscht hotell men personalen har noll koll. Gäller allt från frukost till hur saker och ting fungerar. Upplevs som att bemanningen är lite för låg. Exempelvis var det en större fest vid poolområdet en av kvällarna som de inte informerat hotellgästerna om innan.

Good holiday

Reception was adequate. Lift was out of order. Fridge in room was broken but housekeeping sorted a new one for us. Telephone in room didn't work. Shower screen had been removed so having a shower soaked the floor. Overall, the room was good with much needed a/c. Breakfasts were the highlight - excellent fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, toast and pastries, coffee and fruit juice. Didn't eat at the restaurant as it seemed too quiet and a bit over-priced. The "village" is delightful with a couple of shops, a bar, a huge outside seating area and a pathway up to the water spring. The swimming pool and surrounding area was OK but it was dominated by guests from the spa who were constantly chatting loudly on their mobiles and taking hundreds of selfies. Parking was easy - we parked (free) every day just outside the hotel. A great place to stay for a week so long as you have a car. No good for people who have mobility issues.

Never revisit a hotel you loved!

We visited this hotel a few years ago and sadly it has lost a lot of its ‘feel’. Then, there was a very traditional and beautiful bar, which is now modern and could be in any location/country. Reception is now quite isolated from guests so you don’t enjoy any interaction with staff as you come and go. In general the hotel room was clean and comfortable. The food in the restaurant was good and not overly expensive but overall it’s just missing that something extra to make you want to go back - apart from the location in the beautiful Monchique!

Pronto para marcar nova reserva!

A estadia foi excelente, o quarto era muito confortável, com uma pequena varanda (havia um barulho do motor que incomodava muito), banheiro limpo, bons amenities. Café da manhã muito bom e serviço também de qualidade. Infelizmente o spa estava fechado para reformas, mas fomos avisados antes e mesmo assim, aceitamos a reserva. Recomendo este hotel, e com certeza voltarei.
