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

Td espetacular. Penso que seria melhor publicitarem tdos os espaços juntos. Só qdo cheguei é que percebi que o Hotel e a Coudelaria eram no mesmo espaço; e ainda que tb tinham Falcoaria. O espaço é lindo! Infelizmente, com excepção do pequeno almoço, as demais refeições foram decepcionantes, muito inferior ao que o hotel demonstra primar pela qualidade. Todos os funcionários merecem uma salva de palpas.

Vila Galé Collection Alter Real is a charming hotel located at the Royal Stud Farm (1748) The recently restored hotel offers comfortable 77 rooms and equestrian tourism. The hotel has a library & several lounges, an outdoor pool, gym & spa, and a large indoor pool with sauna, jacuzzi & Turkish bath. Free parking. Furnishings and decoration provide a very nice atmosphere. Service is efficient and friendly. We came for one night and stayed four days. Our spacious room had desk & chair, air-conditioning, table & chairs, fridge & TV, a good twin bed, and a wardrobe with safe. No coffee & tea facility, Window can be opened but don’t have mosquito screens. We had a nice bathroom with washbasin, toilet & shower. All was very clean. Several evenings we went for dinner. The food was well presented and tasty. One evening we had a buffet dinner, which was very good. A good breakfast is served: eggs made to order, cold cuts & cheeses, bread & rolls, cereals & fruits, milk & yoghurts, juices & preserves, croissants & pastries, tea & coffee. Hotel Vila Galé Collection Alter Real is a charming and comfortable hotel, and we had a pleasant stay. Highly recommended.

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.
