READ THE REVIEWS BEFORE BOOKING. Don’t waste your money
Pros:

The main house building is beautiful, and it’s very secluded from its surroundings.

Cons:

I did not like the service at all.

There’s is a certain type of service for foreigners and another one for Portuguese citizens. As a dual citizen, married to a British man, I can personally attest to the difference in treatment when I address the staff in the local language vs in English:

- From being made feel unwelcome in the breakfast patio (outdoors) in a bathrobe having returned from the pool, while there were foreign guests in their bikinis enjoying their morning coffee and were not warned about anything.
- from the unfriendly guest relations staff that looked me up and down and when I asked for informations regarding tours, and her rude response was to ask me if I was actually staying in the hotel
- from the time waiting for room service requests when these are asked in Portuguese vs English

Other relevant remarks:
- lack of proactive refill of in room amenities
- during check out. we had to carry our own bags to reception after having waited 30min, mind you most guests will stay in a main building which is far from the hotel suites

Honorable mentions:
The kindness of the breakfast/ dinner maitre, he is a very knowledgeable about the history of the building and is extremely friendly

Très beau séjour.
Pros:

Le cadre est magnifique ainsi que les salons, le personnel sympathique, le petit déjeuner très copieux et original. Un lieu de repos et de dépaysement.

Cons:

l’accueil à la réception : pas assez souriant et peu explicite sur les équipements et les services possibles. Pour un hôtel 5 étoiles, j’attendais une réception plus professionnelle.
L’hôtel est loin du centre ville et demande une mobilité.

Serviço de check out. Apesar do esforço e dedicação dos funcionários, acabou por ser demorado por haver claramente pouca capacidade de resposta em “hora de ponta” (12h)
