L'And Vineyards

Espectacular hotel en lugar idílico. Instalaciones fantásticas, super spa, piscina interior, restaurante de algo standing….tiene todo. Mi único pero es que a pesar de estar muy enfocado en el disfrute al aire libre si te pilla un día con lluvia vendría bien tener un gimnasio para estirar las piernas.

Abaixo das expectativas e dos standars para este tipo de hotel. Solicitámos o serviço de acender a lareira e ninguém o fez... O autoclismo do WC tinha um problema e ninguém sabia resolver....

This Hotel should NOT be on the Relais et Chateaux list! It is a bad sign when you get to the lobby and all the chairs are dirty and stained. It should be a bad sign when they advertise that they have Valet when they don't (especially when it raining). But, that's nothing, wait till you go to your suite! My husband and I chose a 2 bedroom suite and the disappointment kept on going when we got to it: the stairs were cracked, the walkway was full of mildew and I slipped and almost fell. The outdoor furniture wood the wood is all stained and the fabric faded, and the fire pit all rusted. Again, wait till you get inside: the whole floor was completely wet and we had to ask to be dried off. The TV was disconnected, didn't work. The dinning area has only 2 chairs ( remember: this is a 2 bedroom suite). The living room had no light: either ceiling or table light! There are no side tables and the coffee table is so small that you need to get up to use it( set a drink, for example). The rug has seen better days ! The bathroom was a situation in itself: the sink is kid's height: it was a little above my husband's knee. The rain shower is so low that he had to bend his head to be able to use it. The counter above the sink was all stained and scratched. To hook for your towels, no toilet paper holder !!!!!!. The bed was ok but the rug next to it was very dirty. It had an outlet for a TV on the wall, but no TV! The restaurant was another problem: the chairs are NOT dining room chairs: they are soooo heavy to pull up against the table: try to do that a few times during a breakfast buffet! Dinner food was ok, but we've never seen a waitress kneel on the floor, put her face against the table to talk about the food or get your order ! The sommelier was probably def: he was so loud that when he was talking we had to stop our conversation. On top of that babies crying and kids yelling: they don't have a separate room or time for kid's meals. The whole stay was so uncomfortable that we left after the first night.

Great hotel with amazing food (both breakfast and dinner) at the hotel available. We have stayed in the Lake Pool Villas, Lake View Suites and Sky View Suites - would recommend all of them. Good amenities - some rooms getting a bit tired, but where there are any issues staff will look to help you quickly. Goncalo is fantastic and made the weekend very special for us.

The hotel delivers everything it promises. The location is outstandingly beautiful and peaceful. Every little spot seems o be perfectly designed to be comfortable and with a relaxing atmosphere. the pool and lake are great, inside pool as well. The breakfast is incredible with eggs and coffee to order and great selection of pastries, cheeses, fruits, honey, etc. We had dinner in the deck one night what was also great. The room is big and comfortable. No big deals but 2 things: - No towel handlers in the bathroom; - We had to ask for soap reposition in the second night. Be aware that you'll be around 30 minutes from Evora. Montemor-o-novo is about 5 minutes drive and has plenty of services there (but no good restaurants or touristic points of view)

A lot of positives, two negatives. I will start with positives: very clean resort, nice vibe, nice big suites, a nice welcome with a wine and fresh squished orange juice, great breakfast, nice pool and small lake with paddles. Two small negatives that we experienced: our suite was 30 minutes late then the check in time and as we had a long trip from Spain we really needed it in time. Also the pool towels were not available for an hour, we have asked , waited for a long time and then I needed to go and ask once again in a more „demanding” way that I do not like, however then it took 3 minutes to get the towels. It is always nicer if you can sort those things effectively. Besides those two small issues, a hotel that I would really recommend.
