“Beautiful place, beautiful hotel... deserved a much better service”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2011

The hotel building is beautiful, well decorated with lots of original pieces and antiques from the offices of the old mining company.
Our room was simple, but nice. It had a wonderful veranda, with a view to the river beach.
Everything was very clean.
The first night we ate at the hotel's restaurant. I don't recommend it. The service was amateur. The meal I ordered, a regional and typical dish ("açorda"), was terrible. We paid far too much for the quality of the food and service.
Next day, we ate at the restaurant in front of the hotel. The food was wonderful! And most of the hotel's guests we had seen were eating there also.
I liked having free wifi.
I also liked the lovely ladies in the reception, all very kind.
This region of Alentejo is particularly beautiful. It is such a pitty that the hotel gives so little information of what to see in the area. We asked and we were given only a printed map of the village of Mina de S. Domingos, from their own website.
I'm sorry, but for me a hotel is more than a building. And this lovely place deserved a better service.

“Beautiful building but some details to be changed...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2010
1

The building is very nice and has been well renovated. The deco inside is lovely with plenty of old machine and souvenir. Good level of services (pool, games,...)
They definitely need to change the beds, it was like sleeping on rocks. Too hard for a good sleep. Also the rooms are rather dark. Free wifi and parking.
The restaurant was not a good experience. Service very slow. Not all meals available because it was a national holiday that day (!); if you consider it is a day off then you don't open the doors but if you are open the clients expect to be served as usual not matter which day it is.

“Beautifull quiet charming hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2010
1
person found this review helpful

This is my third time here at Estalagem São Domingos and it always meets the expectations. It's in a very quiet zone of Alentejo near a river beach and you can mostly hear the sound of birds.
The rooms are very nice decorated, with a functional and nice bathroom. There is a beautiful swimming pool surrounded by the charming garden.
It's really the place I love to come and forget the rest of the world.
The staff is not the best professionals I have ever seen but very honest and friendly and will satisfy your needs in a relaxed way. There is a restaurant with beautiful rooms and when the weather is nice you can grab a snack or lunch/dinner at the terrace.
The price is low if you avoid July/August.
There is wifi all over the hotel and some days you can watch the stars and have an astronomy workshop because the hotel has a powerful telescope.
In the surroundings the near village is Mértola, around 17kms away and Serpa. You can also visit the old mines, and "pulo do lobo".
This is around 250 kms from Lisbon and you will take about 2,5hours to get here but it's worth it.
The only not very nice thing for me is that the mattresses are a bit hard for my back but in compensation you have the wonderful outside sleeping nets.
Extremely recommended.

“a beauty......”

NIce stay, ideal when you need some time for yourself with no children in the neighborhood. The restaurant is ok, but not the same like the hotel. The owner was working in the garden, never seen it before :o). The room was luxury, the room was in the newest part of the hotel with a nice terrace and the view was perfect, there is a big lake at the otherside of the hotel where you can enjoy the people.

“A hidden Gen in the Heart of Alentejo”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 June 2009

i love this Hotel.

Its an excellent design Hotel, far away from all kinds off civilization.

Near the hotel you have the old São Domingos mine.

I've loved to stay there. Just having sun and pool baths!

excellent restaurant and pool bar.

i've already returned 2 times after this first experience.

negative points - its a bit expensive (more or less 100 Euros Night)
