An amazingly relaxing holiday destination with everything you could ever want and a touch of luxury. Towns to visit are close by, but just relaxing in the hotel is an experience in itself. There are animals, bikes to borrow, tennis and paddle among others. Beaches are just a short walk away. What makes the place truly special however is the staff. They are beyond amazing and really take care of you. Food was among the tastiest we've had in Portugal and that is saying a lot. We could not be happier and look forward to returning.

There were mosquitos during the night but that's something the hotel can't really change.

The property is on a stunning location next to the ocean, with everything you could possibly need. Including a restaurant with fabulous staff and wonderful food. The animals in their enclosures around the property are so well taken care of and a joy to visit and photograph! We didn’t take advantage of the pool as December is a bit too cold for us, but it is beautiful and quite large. The paddle tennis courts also look to be in excellent condition and having rackets and balls to borrow is a huge plus.

Nothing! All was fabulous!

Beautiful location, pool, garden, animals, sea views. A good option for Fisherman's Trail trekkers, especially when you prefer staying in nature rather than in towns and villages. Limited dinner options are available (reservation required). Nice, spaceous rooms (we were even offered a free upgrade).

There was a larger Czech group staying there as well who were rather loud at times, but that's not something we can blame the hotel for, and indeed the friendly staff were very apologetic about it, and did their best to accommodate us as well as possible, for example seating us well away from the group at dinner and breakfast.

The environment was clean, beautiful, sustainable and quiet. I love all animals and so hearing livestock sounds and birds is very joyful, and we got to hear animals a lot. The gardens, animals, forest were all beautiful and it was a 20 minute walk to a terrific but rocky beach. So so beautiful and clean. Good small restaurants quite nearby, but the dinner served at their restaurant was superb. Breakfast was amazing, plentiful and varied. Snacks during the day--get tuna toast sandwiches!!!--were a nice touch. Staff just so nice, but boy must they be working all of the time, as the staff is small. Need a car, I would say, to get there, but it is so relaxing that there is not much of a reason to leave [ever!]. The pool and seating are all gorgeous, there is sports equipment and bikes to use for free. One can ride horses, though we did not. They even loaned us a little beach umbrella to use! The first night there was a very obnoxious 'hen party' of some people from the UK and US. They were unbelievably rude, but luckily toned it down the next day and then were gone. Oh, and the interior of the suite was terrific. Too much good to say but a beautiful stripped down aesthetic which really appealed. Super comfy bed! Thank you to Margareta, who managed everything!

Nothing. I have not really been to a place like this before. A sort of nano-resort. So it is posh but understated, and of course that means that there is not a lot of diversity of customers. But for a few days, a welcome recharge from the real world.

Excellent breakfast. A quiet place for morning time not only for families with children. The surrounding area is full of places to explore. Porto Covo is a quaint little town. The surrounding beaches are amazing. The whole coast of the Costa Vicentina is amazing. Praia das Furnas in Vila Nova de Milfontes is simply beautiful with great ebb and flow. We will definitely be back here soon to enjoy the tranquility of the Portuguese coast.

What a beautiful property. The country setting with a view of the ocean in the distance was gorgeous. We were on a bike trip and only stayed one night unfortunately. We were able to walk into town and got Thai food to take back which was so delicious and a relaxing eve after a strenuous cycling day. The hosts were so friendly and helpful. Loved all the peacocks greeting us.

I have nothing but admiration for this place. From its remote setting to the beautiful grounds, rooms, and common areas - everything was stunning. The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms, especially the studio we stayed in, were impeccably clean and well-equipped with everything we needed. The presence of many animals on the property added to the delight, and we could hear the ocean as it's only a 10-minute walk away. Perfection.

Small „agroturismo” style hotel, cosy and with all the comforts, including great onsite restaurant. Excellent stuff. Swimming pool and attractions on site and around. 5 min walk to the beach. Animals friendly.

Like it all, but be prepared for small kids present hence noises and pool full of kids.

Lovely, warm & inviting place. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. Lots of very nice touches.  The staff went out of their way to be gracious and hospitable. Dinner was generous, and breakfast was excellent.  The grounds were beautifully kept and truly enjoyed the animals. The animal sanctuary was well taken care of.  Thank you Angela for the warm welcome. And thank you to Ryan and his family for taking great care of us. 

We loved this place! It's such a beautiful and quiet location where one can really relax and recharge. The rooms and other facilities are very confortable and clean. The staff is extremely friendly and the breakfast is varied and with excellent quality. The contact with the animals is very pleasant and the horse riding we did on the beach was amazing. We'll definitively go back!

Nothing.
