20 min driving distance to all major locations

Staff could be friendlier (cleaning, breakfast, owner?)

Peaceful, tranquil and rooms were comfortable. Pool was nice. Breakfast was good albeit a bit basic for the amount we paid.

Staff could have been a bit more friendly.

Beautiful, peaceful, spacious and comfortable rooms, excellent food, very friendly staff, a cute dog, beautiful pool and close to many beaches and restaurants

Everything at Herdade das Barradas was exceptional. It was as if I'd stepped back in time to the French countryside (although it was Portugal), with sheep roaming and a charming chateau with wooden ceiling beams, whitewashed walls, antique fixtures, and a breakfast spread featuring the freshest fruit, a selection of breads, meats, and fresh juices. The pool was very nice with every type of accoutrement for your enjoyment. We went on a fascinating tour of the cork trees surrounding the property. I'll never look at a cork stopper the same way again.

That I didn't book to stay longer.
