We needed to get out of crowded tourist environments and relax in a quiet resort. This was listed as a rural resort and it was. It has ten rooms only, each decorated very nicely. Unfortunately we got a queen bed when we always sleep in a king, so we were not as comfortable as we usually are. The air conditioner was wall-mounted and very, very loud. So between the smaller and harder bed and the loud air conditioner, we did not have a great night's sleep. Breakfast was nicely prepared and the coffee very good. The grounds were attractive and peaceful. We did not use any of the facilities because we had a long drive in front of us, but they looked very nice. The hotel is intimate and well furnished and a good escape from the high rise hotel option. We had been in the Algarve with its high occupancy and high density and couldn't wait to get out. This is a far more pleasant experience for a weary traveller or one who likes places off the beaten path. Worth a stay.
