Lovely stay - quiet and relaxing
Pros:

I really liked the location and how quiet it was. The view of the mountain is amazing. The room was very nice overlooking the pool as well.

Cons:

I had high expectations of the restaurant, as I had been before, but it wasn't quite the same. The food was good, but a bit overpriced for what you get.

Very welcoming staff, peaceful location, very comfortable room
Pros:

Lovely property, especially for those interested in horses, dogs and wine. Exceptionally friendly staff. Good breakfast and restaurant. Great massage therapist. Large room, peaceful location. Outdoor pool although we didn't use it (still too cold outside in early May). Free parking in front of the hotel.

Cons:

You do need a car to get there. The bathroom in the room did not offer much privacy, with glass window to the room that could not be covered. The breakfast was good but somewhat limited in choice.

Muito boa
Pros:

Espaço fantástico e relaxante. Muitos atividades para poder fazer e muita simpatia de todos os funcionários.

Cons:

A cama precisava de ter um lençol separado do edredão. Torna-se muito quente para conseguir dormir
