The cottages are a good size and had everything we needed. We brought our dog with us and it was nice that they left food and water bowls for him. The property is in a very peaceful location, we went for walks in the nearby fields and saw a lot of birds, particularly eagles. We enjoyed the sauna and indoor heated pool, it was a nice way to start the day in winter.

We spent 2 lovely nights at Monte do Giestal. Our Villa was very comfortable and clean and had everything we needed for a short stay with our 2 children - a 5 year old and a 9 month old baby. A travel cot, a baby high chair for meals as well as a bath was also arranged, which was very handy. Breakfast was included and very generous (with hot dishes included) - we choose our preferences out of a menu during check-in. We personally appreciated the fact that it was delivered every morning to our Villa at an arranged time suggested by us. This was perfect and stress free with our 2 little messy eaters. Same for dinner, the Villa provides a small menu with a few options for lunch and/or dinner that we ordered from and got delivered at a set time to the Villa. Communication was always good from the moment we booked and the staff was welcoming. Our baby had fever during the night and they even delivered very late at night a thermometer and some paracetamol as the pharmacy was still a reasonable drive away. That in itself made our whole experience much more relaxing than having to drive with 2 sleepy kids (one feeling poorly) in the middle of the night. The location is awesome. Very remote, surrounded by nature, with a pedestrian trail, donkeys and a beautiful pool that we didn’t got the chance to try. The whole experience was very peaceful and private. The villa is located a short drive away from Badoca Safari Park, so perfect for us!

The staff was incredible, attentive, and always available to help. Great communication either at the reception desk or via Whatsapp. Different massage options are offered and a swimming pool and sauna area with clean and relaxing facilities. Dinner options with local dishes (no vegetarian options, unfortunately) delivered right to your door. The surrounding area is quiet as well as relaxing with even some nice hiking trails.

Excellent! We stayed in a two-bedroom villa and absolutely loved it. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The villa was very clean and had everything we needed. We will definitely try to come back.

Very romantic setting and beautiful property. The host was very accommodating and generous to leave breakfast the night before because we checked out early!
