    This hotel needs maintenance. I was taking a shower when the shower fell on my head, and I almost didn't get hurt.

    It was ok. Breakfast is good.

    The location in the countryside was lovely. The grounds around the hotel were beautiful with fountain, statues, manicured gardens. The restaurant was very good.

    A delightful "herdade" far from the madding crowd

    The internet didn't reach our room, but was available in the reception, bar, restaurant and breakfast areas.

    The quinta is a fabulous relic from, I believe, the 1600s that has since been modernised (of course) while still preserving the charm and atmosphere of old Portugal, and even has its own chapel. It's set in lovely grounds a couple of kilometres off the main road outside Elvas, making the sense of stepping into the past even stronger. The heat, silence and languor, a good complimentary breakfast, and a decent evening meal with a great red Alentejano wine made for a fantastic stay en route from Portugal into Spain.

    It's an old Quinta with some old furniture and quirks, which is OK, these add to the character and charm...but the mattresses could definitely do with some renewing.

    We have visited the place many times and keep coming back. The old Quinta is very pretty with many different fruit trees and we were able to pick fresh blackberries daily. The pool is great for a relaxing afternoon. The staff has always been very polite and friendly.

    The light did not work in the bathroom. This fixed after For us the meal was not what we expected. A bit of a let down like most Portuguese restaurants. The bed was a tad soft.

    Old world charm and touch of elegance. Opportunity to swim. Also the bath was a bonus. Breakfast was nice.

    We aren’t keen on showering over the bath. Coffee at breakfast not to our taste.

    Breakfast was great. Fresh orange juice, breads, pastries, hot eggs and bacon. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The gardens are gorgeous - faded elegance, a bit wild, and peaceful. Our room was spacious, comfortable and well appointed. A truly independent hotel, unique, with fascinating character and elegance.

    The hot water wasn't really hot enough for a bath and the bath had lost its enamel so it felt very rough. The place needed its exterior to be painted and grass and weeds removed from the roof of the breakfast area which had water leakage staining the inside walls.

    It was a fine hotel at one time but appears that maintenance has been allowed to lapse. Perhaps the COVID lockdown caused it to lose a lot of money. The staff were nice. I'd stay again but maybe in the summer.

    I think the bathroom cabinets need replacement as they are swollen from damp and not attractive No coffee facilities in the room The bath was not very comfortable for showering as the glass partition kept on sliding towards the inside of the bath. Very unpleasant when you trying to have a shower. No visible plugs in order to charge cellphones/tablets and connect laptops and connect hairdryer. We had to move the fridge to find the wall plug which already was overloaded with plugs

    Breakfast was great as was the location of the hotel. Staff were super friendly and made us feel welcome. We decided to have dinner at the restaurant and the food and service was excellent!

    Rooms are due for some deep cleaning, specifically the carpet in my room needs shampooing. The bathroom is quite tired as well. Now that the surrounding orchard is being taken care of nicely, management should turn their attention to freshening up the rooms.

    Very good breakfast. Serene rural setting.
