São Brás do Regedouro - Turismo na Aldeia

We stayed in this place for several months over the last winter season and my quoting is "average" because in low season it is paradise, quiet, with the feel to be part of the hamlet community. The lodgings are typical Alentejo houses which have been remodeled and are decorated with taste. Of course being in an old house has its advantages and disadvantages but it is part of the charm. It is extremely clean (thank you to the very hard working cleaning ladies) and the bedding is very comfortable. The kitchenette is quite minimal but we managed. An outside table with chairs to eat outside would be welcomed especially since the lodgings are surrounded by scented flowers, olive and orange trees. For foreigners not many TV channels to watch. Being 20 mns from an Evora laundromat, a clothes washing machine would be useful. Then, when temperature raised, purgatory commenced; no more peace and quiet, piped music around the swimming-pool from 9am to evening, even if nobody was in the pool area. When I complained I was told: it is the procedure! and we do not think it is too loud! I asked myself "who is the customer?" Procedures are for employees, not customers. Wonderful place but the management has to decide which kind of guests they want: party types or quieter couples looking to relax. So if you are looking for a relaxing atmosphere go before April.
