Holiday Rentals in Guarda District

"You must have a car while visiting this property. Otherwise there is nothing to do. There is a very nice outdoor pool that is not heated. So it must be warm enough outside to enjoy it. The hotel offers a nice breakfast. There is no bar or restaurant at the hotel. About a half mile walk from the hotel is a very expensive restaurant with a limited menu. I don't believe it is open for lunch. Another reason you need a car. During check in I noticed a large hose slightly larger than a dryer hose going into one of the rooms down the hallway. I inquired about it and the staff said it was for construction. After checking into our downstairs room which was very nice ( the hotel is a beautiful property with beautiful views of the vineyards and countryside) we went for a walk on the property. We noticed a red truck in the courtyard with a hose going inside the hotel. This was the hose I saw earlier. The truck said Heatwork, Rentokil. My wife believed it was for the killing of bedbugs. We left the next day one day earlier than our planned stay and were not given a refund. The hotel did not answer or reply to my calls or email when asking for a refund for the one night. In summary, a great place to stay if you have a car and just want to chill at the pool."

"The breakfast was tasty. The space is open and well lit. The food was fresh and continually replenished. There was assistance if you needed it. They kept everything very clean. I love the spa treatments. I got a scrub and a massage excellent. Highly recommend the spa. The staff was very nice and helpful. My Portuguese is not that great. They were able to help me with English. The room is clean, felt airy, and fresh. I had a view of the valley. It was very nice. Parking was easy."

"Chambre très propre avec lit confortable. Déjeuner gratuit de très bonnes qualités. Personnel accueillant. Stationnement gratuit sur place."

"We loved our stay here! The hotel is updated and well maintained and staff are lovely. You can’t beat the views! "

"Great location, clean, classy, the view from the pool area is exceptional. Breakfast was great, the staff was very helpful. Safe, locked garage for parking. You will not regret staying here!"

"Our stay was nice but this is not a 5 star hotel any longer. It is in need of some updating and better explanation of available amenities upon check in."

"The property is located in the beautiful valley on top of the mountain. The drive up to the check in was a small , narrow , cobblestone driveway. Once arrived we quickly checked in and were escorted to show us where to park the car and where the breakfast location was. Luckily we were located on the 5 th floor terrace so we only had to take the suitcases down to terrace 5 from terrace 7 where we parked. The room was a perfect size with a beautiful view of the grape vine mountainside and the river. There was a fridge and big walk in shower. The breakfast was spectacular with fresh squeezed orange juice and a chef to make omelets or over easy eggs ! They had 2 places to get food but unfortunately when we checked in on night one there was no availability until 9 pm at main restaurant . The next night we had reservations at 8:30 pm and that was the earliest! Edjardo who checked us in recommended a restaurant downtown and helped us get a taxi there and a return taxi , which cost $100 euros! So when you book a room , make dinner reservations at the main dining for a spectacular view and great menu variety. There are a lot of stairs so check to see if someone can help with suitcases to get to your room. Also when you book, ask if someone can take u to their main dining restaurant yet or you will have to drive ,or walk up and down the cobblestone driveway. There are some lights ,"

"Excellent stay, wonderful staff."

"The property is breathtaking. The views, walking paths, history- everything is beautiful and peaceful. Although room was small, we didn’t spend much time inside- so many things to enjoy outside. We had garden view rooms and it had a very beautiful porch with roses. The whole property is very well maintained, and not touristy at all. Peace and quality everywhere .Dinner was lovely."
