Vila Gale Collection Alter Real - Resort Equestre, Conference & Spa

Tudo bom, exceto a deslocação entre alojamento e piscina e a falta de secador nesta.

We had an amazing stay! The staff were warm, friendly, and made us feel right at home. The food was delicious, the pool was perfect for relaxing, and the kid loved every minute — especially spending time with the horses. Beautiful surroundings, great service, and a peaceful atmosphere made it a perfect family getaway.

Our recent stay at Vila Galé Collection Alter Real was really remarkable, enjoying the stunning surround nature and excellent hospitality. The hotel's estate, with its breathtaking surroundings, horses grazing, and great indoor and outdoor pool areas, provided a perfect setting for a few days to relax. We enjoyed a fascinating tour of the horse farm and falconry, with a passionate falconer who’s passion made the experience truly special. The visit to the olive oil factory was enlightening, along a great conversation with the knowledgeable hotel manager who further surprised us with a very warm attention and surprise cake for our son’s birthday, making us feel thoroughly cared for. We left Vila Galé Collection Alter Real delighted and look forward to returning. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a tranquil escape with a luxurious twist.

Great location amidst very scenic countryside surrounds, in a remote Lusitano horse stud with 400 horses. Some rooms are really great, we unfortunately had a noisy one overlooking the restaurant and pool, with an overpowering sewerage smell from our toilet. We reported it but they couldn't fix it. They do daily tours of the stud farm and falconry centre, very interesting, but don't often accommodate non-Portuguese speaking visitors. Even though our tour leader speaks English, she firmly told us that on that day it was only in Portuguese and then proceeded to ignore us, which made us feel quite unwelcome. In other encounters we definitely got the feeling that the resort is aimed at Portuguese speakers and that foreigners are 'tolerated'. Excellent dinner buffet on weekends. Service levels could do with a bit of improvement.

The hotel overall is pleasant with good facilities. Sevice is something that definitelty needs improvement, waited for ever to be serviced at bar area. Had to wait in line for breakfast, as tables were not clean. In conclusion slow unprofessional service, something not to be expected at a higher end Vila Galé Hotel. Rooms are in two seperate locations, being the one further from the main building unpleasant for those less open minded. As you have to walk through gravel and quite dark areas at night. Hotel has a good country feeling but needs improvement if it wants to excel.
