Herdade da Matinha Country House & Restaurant

This is a hidden gem. Booked last minute and were absolutely blown away by what we found. It rained the day we were there so we cozied up in one of there beautifully appointed nooks and read. The breakfast was incredible and included Definitely would come back. The staff and grounds were so welcoming

The space is isolated and peaceful. Everything about the restaurant, the meals, the staff, is absolutely perfect. The main pool is desperately lacking proper shade to spend the day. The reception staff is helpful and you can WhatsApp them directly, which is very convenient. However, there is an odd light arrogance at reception whenever questions are asked or issues are shared.

Like a dude ranch. Must have been 1000 acres it was a 2 mile drive up a dirt road just to get to reception

I have stayed here several times—always love it!

Quiet, relaxing, beautifully appointed with stunning artwork and objets d'art Herdade da Matinha is a top choice for an escape from mundane tribulations. The restaurant menu is limited but the food is excellent served in a relaxed but sophisticated atmosphere. I do wish the staff were better trained but the overall expedient was superb.

O lugar é muito interessante o quarto bastante confortável a Carolina recepcionista espetacular o jantar foi francamente mau

We went a little off-season and not many were there. The place is located in the countryside with lovely surroundings. The inital plan was to go into the little town of Cercal for dinner in elthe evening, but we changed our plans and stayed for dinner at Matinha instead. That was a good decision... the food was very nice and typical rustic traditional Portuguese food. Loved it. Everyone was super helpful and serviceminded. It was a great stay.

Wonderful experience!

Staff impecável e hotel muito bonito e acolhedor

Great resort to relax and enjoy the area! Food was fantastic!
