Rabaçal Nature Spot Cottage

Good shower, reasonable bed, the only location in the wonderful area of the 25 fountains

Dinner was very poor quality and very small. A simple tomato soup, some lettuce, a little quiche and some carbs was not in line with the quality/price of the venue and not enough after a hike. The hosts were unwilling to provide anything in addition (even if I would pay), it was beyond rude for such an eloquent location. Toilet didn’t flush properly and after 18:00 you can’t really move outside. I didn’t dare to touch the breakfast when leaving early. I didn’t want to risk poor quality food when hiking.

Location, staff, room cleanliness, food.

Nothing.

Als Wanderetappe super.

Ein bisschen teuer für das Gebotene

Uitzicht was fantastisch en het personeel was super vriendelijk!

Location, very nice and comfy room, delicious food, very friendly staff

Nothing

Mooie, luxe kamers en een en gezellige woonkamer.

Het regende en in het café was het veel te druk en benauwd. Ook de wandeling naar de 25 Fontes was verschrikkelijk vanwege de enorme files aan mensen.

This was a magical stay with outstanding views and perfect peace and quiet after all the other tourists leave at 6pm. You can sit in the private garden enjoying some wine and the views, in the sun if you are lucky and listen to the birds. This was an amazing experience. The staff and amazing, super friendly and helpful. The food was voluminous and very tasty and they were very accommodating with requests for changes. There was enough food to make a packed lunch although I am sure they would have made one for you, but not being able to eat everything at dinner or breakfast and not wanting it to go to waste we just took it with us for our hikes. You get a bottle of wine a night (for a couple), plus starter, mains and dessert, and a private fridge for anything to store. Rooms are a little small but you don't spend much time in there because you have a large lounge and a garden. The shower was powerful and hot. We had wanted to leave our car at the top car park and take the shuttle down but were advised to drive down for safety of the car at night when everyone else has gone, you can wait in front of the gate for the shuttle to arrive and then they open the gate and you follow the shuttle down. Lots of people on the road giving you the eye for driving! But it works out fine. Lots of hiking trails from this location and a cafe with loads of great food when you get back. Take the opportunity to go early (7am) so you get to the falls before the crowds, especially 25 Fontes which is hard to walk when people are going both ways on small ledges.

Booked a twin room but got a double room despite requesting it 3 times via booking.com messages. Note to any others using messages that none of our questions were answered via this method so don't use it. Bed was extremely hard, it would be great if they offered a mattress topper for those who like softer sleeping. No wifi at all in the bedroom.

Very special place in the middle of nowhere in the nature. Beautiful house, room and terrace. Great Victor was very helpful.
