"É a minha segunda vez no Monte do Giestal, mas tal como na primeira, uma estadia prolongada de 5 dias.
Tudo é bom aqui, desde as amplas e equipadas casas, super confortáveis, ao espaço exterior, sossego, comida entregue a porta de casa pelas sempre atenciosas funcionárias que não deixam que falte nada.
Mais, venho com o meu cão, de porte grande, e também ele adora o Monte. Tem bastante espaço para correr livremente e é muito bem recebido. "

"Lovely retreat, be aware it is miles down a dusty track which can be difficult to find at first. Facilities are lovely and was not crowded when we went in July. "

"The location is a little remote but absolutely stunning and extremely quiet. Everything was very clean and the staff very welcoming. I wish we could have stayed a little longer but we had to be off early. Will definitely return if we are in the area again."

"A beautifully maintained property, room very comfortable and tastefully decorated. Charming and elegant owners, justifiably proud of there home and business. A petting 'zoo' of lovely birds and animals is included in their land. Dogs were welcomed and good safe walking is immediately outside the gate. Lovely breakfast included. Nearby town did not have much to offer but we ate well there."

"Our stay at the hotel was nothing short of exceptional. The décor is exquisite, with every detail thoughtfully considered, and the setting is tranquil and beautifully composed — the very essence of a boutique experience. It is clear that no expense was spared in creating a space that feels both refined and deeply comfortable.

"It was a relaxing place to rest after a long drive from Porto city. Surrounded by farmland it was a quiet and serene, Staff was professional. Breakfast was great...ample choice and variety of delicious fresh food. Although we did not utilize, there are two swimming pools available. Added bonus were the farm animals....great for all ages. Enjoyable stay1"
"Overall this was a lovely place to stay but I feel obliged to point out some aspects which were lacking. The sound of our neighbours using the bathroom (toilet) were rather unwelcome, especially during the night. The Nespresso machine should have been a bonus bout an initial run through revealed it was desperately in need of a clean. Off the very few available sockets for charging my phone, the one adjacent to the bed was literally falling out of the wall very dangerously. The only other usable one being in the bathroom! Having a solar powered balcony light sounds like a great idea but it really would have benefited from an off switch bc of unwanted light all night from outside. Also the air dripped onto the balcony and a hanger was broken. Apart from this, the hostess was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, the bed was massive and comfortable, and the lighting was good. Also, a decent shower and blackout curtain. "

6/10 Okay
"We stayed here for 2 nights and it was alright for what we needed it for. Nothing special.
We didn’t realize just how in the middle of nowhere it would be. It’s quite remote and the country roads to get there are a bit tricky to navigate at night. We were exploring comporta for the two days that we were there but it’s about a 40 min drive so if you’re thinking of exploring comporta just keep that in mind.
Also, there are no doors in the bathroom which we did not enjoy.
Lastly, the room itself had some things that needed fixing. For example, the bottom of the door was completely falling off and the floor which is made up of some type of cork looked like it needed a refresh - it was stained on multiple areas.
The breakfast included was also just ok - the eggs were cold and so was the bacon. We got to breakfast at 10 AM so I guess if you’re an early riser it might’ve been warm but they could also invest in better equipment to keep the food warm for the rest of us that are jet lagged and not up at the crack of dawn.
Overall, it was just an ok experience. "
