this hotel is very charming, super clean, modern meets rustic and nestled in a cute vineyard near Gouveia with fruit trees and olive trees. the yard it has a stable with horses, many birds all around and a (lot of) shelter for abandoned dogs (safely behind fences). indoors you will find 2 charming cats that want to cuddle and super friendly staff. the hotel has their own wines, jams, olive oil and locally produced cheeses. the restaurant is very nice and we really advise to take a few Madre De Aqua wines home!

they had recently changed the wall paper in our room and this smelled a bit strange. we found out after “ sniffing around”. for this reason we aired our room and kept the sliding door open. we also recommend to take some slippers in the cold season as the hard stone floor can be a bit cold.

Architecture was perfect, solid buildings, design of room. The atmosphere was great. The staff was excellent, friendly, sincere, welcoming, and always willing to help. Seeing the beautiful horses galloping next to the room was truly amazing. Breakfast in the dining room was filled with fresh fruits from the farm and great tasting breads. Dinner was amazing with terrific wines from the farm both full bodied and light. Even the vegetarian options were perfect.

Overall there wasn’t anything we didn’t like.

Fantastic location - wonderfully quiet and relaxing. Staff were super friendly and helpful (especially Joao) throughout our stay. Rooms were clean, tastefully decorated and with great views across the farm. We ate in the hotel every evening and found the food to be tasty, well presented and good value. Wines were great too ;).

Would have been nice to have tea and coffee making facilities in the room.

Beautiful place to escape from the city. Excellent design, qualified stuff, everything was great

A window between the bathroom and bedroom made us feel weird)))) You really should do something with that. We stayed with family, so we just made a lot of jokes about it. But a romantic stay for a couple might be really awkward. Consider using some matte film for that window, that should not be expensive solution.

A very special place within an agriturismo setting. The staff were very welcoming and seemed to be passionate about the hotel and what it stood for - local produce, its own wines and nuts, the way it sat within the nature around it.

On my wish list would be that they had a comfortable area outside to enjoy and aperitif before dinner.

After traveling around Portugal for a few days this was the perfect spot to rest and relax for a night. The staff was wonderful, friendly, and very accommodating. The views from the hotel and the rooms are spectacular. The restaurant was great for a dinner in and breakfast had many yummy selections!

The hotel provides an incredible experience of the Portuguese countryside, offering a serene environment away from the noise and busy roads. We thoroughly enjoyed the delightful dinner, which included delicious local wine. The rooms were clean, spacious, and adorned with beautiful views, adding to the overall charm of our stay.

It’s a beautiful location. The views are incredible and it’s very quiet. The vineyards, the horses, the pool are all great.

There were 3-4 cats inside the hotel. They were allowed in the lobby, on tables and chairs, in the leisure room, and in the restaurant. There were cat scratch poles and cat hair on the hallway and lobby carpet. Since we are both very allergic, we were not able to use the leisure room to relax or read. It’s not noted anywhere on the website or during booking that there are resident cats.

Loved it all - perhaps was hoping for more local food for breakfast/ dinner but all in all it was beautiful. Especially loved the rooms, the views from the room, and gorgeous winery views all around.

Wish the breakfast was more focused on local.

Nice place with amazingly friendly staff. We were able to see the dogs and horses and what they do for the dogs is just beyond amazing! Definitely a place for dog or overall animal lovers. Room is super clean and the pool was very nice.

As this was our second time there we must admit that the restaurant/food was not as good anymore as it used to be. To bad but perhaps the new chef need to get his own new menu card and not the same one they had in 2019. Wine is still phenomenal! Their wine and cheese is just TOP! If the menu or chef changes we might consider to give it another chance as if you consider how nice the people and place itself is and the price is so low it is still a great place.
