Lovely room, super hotel and very kind! We hope to go next year again

was told this hotel is close to the city wllswalls.
It it in fact 11kms down the road.Rooms are very basic, baqthroom not clean.
Reception appeared to hope we would not talk to them.
Large gardens good ,but under repair. Found the swimming pool after 3 attempts. no signs as it is a fair way from the house.
Resturant had a good name ,but we found thethe food not good at all. The wine loist was out of the first3 bottles i chose, all locals. Service ended spending more time in the kitchen than on the floor.

All in all a great disapointment on all fronts.
Spend you money someweere else.

Last week I went back to Quinta de Santo Antonio to spend a couple of days' rest. This is one of the most charming places I know. The hotel is located in the hilly countryside next to the Spanish frontier and is part of a large farming estate. You have to drive 1 km on dirt road inside the property to get to the rococo mansion that houses the hotel. The XVIII century building is surrounded by a large italianate park with fish ponds, marble statues, and a small chapel. The food at the restaurant is excellent Portuguese cuisine with local specialties. Try the peasants' bread soup flavored with coriander, the "Açorda Alentejana", and the sweet plums in syrup from Elvas!

In the countryside a beautifuly renovated 19th century mansion is perfect. The air is so pure, the pool is lovely and there is plenty of beautiful gardens to walk around in. Marvelous fountains and statues make this hotel one of my favorite family getaways. The people are friendly and the food is amazing. Some of the best portuguese food that I have ever had and I am portuguese. And honestly it is all you want in a five star hotel but without the big bill. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Sincerily
