- Carvalho Ferreira (9/5): Loved our stay, loved the food and the space. - Excellent breakfast, with a lot of different possibilities (orange juice, pineapple juice, lemon water, milk, cereals, different types of bread, croissants, fruit, jams, eggs, coffee, etc) and all of them delicious. The room was clean and cozy. Staff was great. The view was amazing, and the bedrooms are spacious and beautiful. Couldn't find the wifi password. The lights were turned off everywhere in the property when we got there because nightfall is coming earlier and they didn't update their automatic schedule, but nothing serious, just could've been on earlier, didn't affect our safety since we stayed near the reception and, when we were guided to our room, the receptionist turned them on. It was just a bit scary since it's in the "middle of nowhere".

- Col (10/5): Beautiful property, excellent food - The property is a lovely estate a few kms out if Viseu that comprises a hotel, winery, tasting room and restaurant.
The hotel is stunning; built of impressive granite and beautifully furnished. The decor is simple and elegant. The bed was extremely comfortable. Our bathroom had a spa tub that procided some nice relaxation after a day of driving.
Our stay included a delicious and ample continental breakfast with fresh fruit and pastries, local breads, ham and cheeses, cereals, coffee, tea, juice and yogurt. We also were served freshly prepared bacon and eggs.
We dined one evening at the restaurant and found the food to be excellent. There is a regular menu, as well as a 6-course prix fixe menu and also vegetarian and childrens menus. Everything we ate was well prepared and beatifulky presented. The temperature of the bath/shower water could be a little hotter.
- António (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tiago (8/5): Very good -
- Christine (8/5): Very good -
- Bill (8/5): Very good - Beautiful setting.Great food and wine. Wanted 5 euros to rent a pool towel.No advance notice that the restaurant was closed on Sunday.
- Carlos (8/5): a beautiful place that could be perfect - the outside area was beautiful, the farm and the pool area. we loved that part! unfortunately we got a room that wasn’t very comfortable. It was noisy and small. we noticed that it wasn’t perfectly clean and the AC didn’t work. also it was really disappointing that the checkout time was at 11am which I personally never experienced. we asked if after leaving the room at the checkout time we could at stay at the pool but that wasn’t an option. a pity because this hotel had so much to give.

- Daniela (10/5): Exceptional - Everything. Such a peaceful place
- Evgeniy (7/5): Overall positive experience. We would definitely consider staying again at Quinta de Medronheiro. - Location - peaceful, surrounded by nature, gorgeous views.
Hotel building itself - beautiful restored stone house on a rocky hill
Pool - good size, pleasant salty water, with a shallow division for small kids
Hotel staff - polite and friendly
Room - large, clean, well equipped
Restaurant - mixed feelings - a clear attempt to offer a gourmet dining experience with many hits and some misses. We had a Magret de Canard (great!), a lamb chop with risotto (very nice recipe, the meat chop was rather small, but with a lot of tasty risotto); for dessert a Panna Cotta had no sugar in or on it (except for grated coconut), but we were not sure if it was by design or by mistake. We were offered a complimentary glass of rosé, which was very good. However, when we later ordered more wine by glass, the servings were rather small (less than 100ml by my estimate). We solved it by ordering a full bottle on our next meal (which was delicious). Bathroom in our room was facing the parking area, and the window was covered by a fabric curtain. The curtain was somewhat transparent and at night (when it's dark outside and lights are on inside) we had to cover the window with towels to keep our privacy when using the bathroom.
- At (2/5): Very poor - Pool size and next to wineyeards
Hotel next to motorway exit
Free parking - 5 euro for rent swimming pool towels
- no flexibility on check out (they asked us 50% for late check out at 12)
- poor breakfast, no cappuccino
- wine tasting only in the afternoon 3-6pm
- very bad wifi (none) in the room, only in lobby and other rooms in the main building
Overall, basic services for a room of 165 euros are not there.
- Carl (6/5): Very disappointing experience. - The pool was nice.
Friendly dog. Swimming towel rental €5 each !
Breakfast start at 9am.

- Filipe (5/5): Please open before 9am for breakfast! - The pool,and the food served in their restaurant was amazing! The place is beautiful, the only downsides were very very noisy air conditioning luke warm water and the fact that the hotel only opens for breakfast at 9am!!
- Sabine (10/5): A Quinta to rember - We had a very nice stay at the Quinta. So peaceful, gentle and well located. We liked the surroudings, strolling in the park, between the vineyards, hills and rocks, enjoying nature. The dinners were fine, with excellent local products, such as dry aged veal, cod, mushrooms and of couse the wine from the Quinta. Hospitality and discrete class, we liked it!

O jantar foi estupendo e o cafe da manha tambem !Por mim moradia lá!
