This is our third happy visit to Rio Arade Manor house. Always there is something special for us here. This time, in December we shared our stay with no less than the Archduke and Archduchess of Austria who were on a quiet private visit to Portugal . Just like the Archduke and his lovely wife we were, as always treated... More

There were books,magazines, television and drinks from the honesty bar.It was a good place to chat with fellow guests and with our host John.The patio and pool area was beautiful and was very spacious....

We recently stayed in Rio Arade and found it excellent in every way. The house itself is a delight, the rooms comfortable, breakfast is great (even freshly squeezed OJ!), the hospitality very friendly, and the value fantastic. We actually stayed in the same room (B) as the previous reviewer and cannot understand their comments about the facilities or comfort. The... More

After reading all the reviews we were expecting great things when we arrived. We had asked for a large double (kingsize) bed but on arrival we were shown to a small room with a standard double bed, lovely view from the room over the pool area at the back, but with all the surrounding roof tops! The mattress on the... More

Hello Trip Advisor. Firstly, we are sorry that these clients had cause for complaint. They were shown and accepted one of our standard rooms overlooking our garden and over 2 days made no adverse comment. This is a room that is specifically requested by some of our returning clients. I was called at 11pm (I live in a cottage on... More

Stayed at the Rio Arade, Was a great experience. Staff were great, guests friendly and it provided the perfect mix for us - away from the big resorts, but close to everything else - restaurants, beach etc. You would probably want a car though! More
