Guest Reviews

• Marco (8/5): - Sitio tranquilo, instalações excelentes, pessoal muito simpático. Na habitação havia alguma Humidade.
• Monica (10/5): Imperdível - A fuga perfeita, num ambiente cuidado.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great place to unwind - Superb. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Had a very relaxing time. Everything was clean, we loved the villas. Facilities were great. We will be back.
• David (10/5): Dejligt ophold og fin morgenmad - Virkeligt dejligt lille sted, stille og roligt. Lækkert indrettet. Venligt personale. Havde forventer en “hytte”, men fik desværre alm dobbeltværelse. Dog lidt afsides beliggende (burde vi selv have undersøgt på forhånd)
• Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent - Excellent
• David (10/5): - Séjour en famille pour visiter Guimarães et ses alentours. Piscine très agréable pour les enfants. Le domaine est très bien entretenu et la nature est présente dans chaque recoin. La maison était fonctionnelle avec la possibilité d’avoir le ménage fait à la demande. Super accueil et petit déjeuner sympa. Bravo
• Justiina (8/5): Calm and good pools - Ystävällinen henkilökunta ja ihana siisti, kaunis majoitus, jossa vehreää kasvillisuutta. Aamupala perus, jotakin kasvista/smoothieta kaipaisi lisää. Ravintola kohtuuhintainen ja ruoka hyvää. Kohtelias palvelu. Lapset huomioitiin hienosti. Ympäröivä alue hieman ankea mutta hotelli on niin kiva, ettei paljoa aktiviteettia ehdi ajatella kun nauttii altaista ja kylpylästä.
• MME M (10/5): Hôtel exceptionnel et authentique ! - Établissement exceptionnel ! Le cadre est magnifique, le concept est innovant, le personnel est une extrême gentillesse ! Nous y avons séjourné pour la seconde fois et nous reviendrons!
• Julie (10/5): Hôtel de rêve ! - Séjour très agréable, personnel disponible et très accueillant. Petit déjeuner diversifié et bon. Piscine et jacuzzi très propres. Chambre très confortable. Salle de bain qui dispose d'une douche et d'une grande baignoire, ce qui est très appréciable.
• Omar (10/5): Amazing place, highly recommended - This is the second time we stay at this beautiful place. Great location, comfortable rooms, good food, and most importantly amazing staff that always go the extra mile to make your stay a special one. Special thanks go to Mr. José Mendez who always makes sure that all guests are having a wonderful time. Furthermore, the swimming pool is very nice and heated, and we really enjoyed the mini-golf and the little steam next to it.
• Leticia (10/5): - Muy bien calidad precio
• Hugo (10/5): Bom descanço - Um local de sossego muito perto da cidade de Guimarães.
• David (10/5): - A estadia correu muito bem, desde o check in ao check out, com colaboradores muito simpáticos e prestaveis. Local exato para descansar e relaxar.
• SANDRA (8/5): - Es maravilloso! tranquilidad , confort y personal súper amable. Camas muy cómodas. El alojamiento es precioso y está súper cuidado. Decorado con muchísimo gusto y mención especial a todas las zonas de jardín con variedad de plantas y árboles ! Precioso ! Lo único que eché un poco de menos es que la zona snack no estuviese abierta todo el día, o por lo menos en horario de piscina, pero es un pequeño detalle ya que todo lo demás supera con creces este pequeño detalle.
• Anton (8/5): - Lo mejor sin duda y a destacar la atención de Rafaela, primera vez en un hotel de Portugal donde alguien nos hace sentir tan cómodos, sin ella no hubiese sido lo mismo, gracias por tu trato! Solo pondría 2 pegas : Debería ser solo adultos, por que un sitio como ese, que da paz, tranquilidad y además es bastante romántico, con la piscina llena de niños salpicando y gritando te deja un sabor un poco agridulce... Y la otra el café y el zumo de el desayuno... No le doy más nota por esos detalles...aun así repetiremos sin duda!
• Robert (10/5): Low Key and relaxing - Small resort with very nice individual cottages and ground level apartments or apartments surrounding the upper pool.Two pools one open to the sun the other semi enclosed( definitely a relief when it’s very hot and sunny.Cafe serving breakfast,lunch and light dinner with a full bar and outside seating.Some spa options and a full gym and steam room.Nicely decorated exterior with plants,paintings and sculptures.Nice owners.There were some families with children but they were well behaved.
• Alan (10/5): Tranquil Spot - This is a very quiet, relaxing spot outside Guimaraes. Rooms are set in a beautiful garden setting with outdoor seating. Large living room/kitchen and separate bedroom. Comfortable, modern and well equipped. Staff were great but some don't speak English. Only downside was over-whelming use of air freshener in the rooms.
• Jeremy (10/5): Très belle adresse - Magnifique petite pépite à deux pas de Braga. Superbe site, parfaitement aménagé et arboré, des petites maisons entièrement équipées, très jolie et très accueillant. La jeune fille à notre arrivée à été très accueillante et très serviable. Les chambres sont très spacieuses, confortables, entièrements équipées, joliment décorées, parfaites. Bel espace piscine, arboré, top ! Nous avons dîner au restaurant le soir et avons été agréablement surpris par le rapport qualité prix des prestations. La jeune fille de l'accueil s'est occupé de tout le service et de la cuisine, chapeau, pas évident toute seule ! Excellent petit déjeuner, gargantuesque, parfait ! Belle adresse. Le patron était également très gentil et parlais français, top!
• W8192MJheidiv (2/5): nice small luxury hotel but terrible customer service on checking out - We had a loverly stay in this hotel for the second time. We booked the room in advance and made a deposit to confirm our booking dates. However, when we checked out they forgot our deposit and charged us an extra night because of a so called no-show while we specified our arrival dates when we made the deposit 3 month earlier. In short, although this is a nice hotel with beautiful rooms, I would recommend that you go elswhere!
• José (10/5): - Buena atención y trato
• Carlos Manuel (10/5): - Correu tudo na perfeição. Têm umas optimas condições
• Rui (10/5): Fim de semana em família - Óptima estadia! Instalações sempre cuidadas e staff muito atencioso! Excelente para famílias!
• Joao (10/5): Recomendo! - Extraordinário para descansar!
• flordelaluna (10/5): Wonderful apartments - We really enjoyed our stay here. Friendly staff, spacious apartments, good breakfast, and a lovely setting. We liked the location also, just a few minutes away from Guimarães. Especially enjoyed the garden setting with all of the sculptures.
• Luiz Augusto (10/5): - Ótimo! Localização excelente! Conforto top!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Nos encantó, preciosa la habitación y el entorno. La cocina con todo lo necesario para poder llevar algo y cenar allí.
• 228leeb (10/5): Great place, nicest people - This is a little out of the way, in a peaceful rural setting. Individual cabins with bedroom, lounge room, kitchen, bathroom and balcony. I didn't get to swim in the pool but it looked very inviting. The people were so accommodating, even allowing us to set up a picnic in their area, serving the food, and cleaning up. Spotlessly clean. Highly recommended.
• Wu (10/5): - 住宿離吉馬良斯及布拉加很近、且住宿環境優良
• Verified traveler (10/5): hotel con encanto - Fantástico hotel en zona tranquila. Piscina y zona infantil. Habitaciones amplias y bien decoradas. Desayuno abundante. Servicio muy amable.
• mac80214 (10/5): Very pleasant stay - The resort consists of a set of very cozy bungalows. There is a sitting area at the entrance, fully equipped small kitchen with absolutely everything you need, very spacious bathroom with an excellent high water pressure shower, bedroom with a king-size bed. All walls are in fact sliding doors covered with the heavy curtains. Each bungalow has its own tiny private backyard with lemon and orange trees. The mini-bar is always re-stocked with goods to every taste including bottles of local white and red wines at a relatively reasonable price. They keep the bungalows immaculately clean – our special thank you for this. There is a spacious parking lot right at the property. The breakfast is good and plentiful with seasonal fruits, but lacks eggs and bacon. The downside, is that we weren’t able to use the swimming pool even once, as it was always full of screaming children during the day. The pool is closed in the morning to take a swim before the breakfast, and closed early in the evening for a late-day swim. We spoke with the manager on the matter and have been assured, that the owners fully recognize the problem and planning to build additional adults-only swimming area. The unavailable swimming pool reduced the value of stay for us, the next door smokers were giving us some troubles, but we are still giving this place the highest rate and recommendations. Thank you everyone in the amazing service team for your attention and patience!
• 524keril (10/5): Wow! A beautiful place to stay. - As a family we had to travel to Portugal for the Dance World Cup and we found this hidden gem. I can not fault the service since we have arrived, the staff here literally can’t do enough for you. The breakfast is delicious and there is so much food. My 16 month old loves the pool, it is the perfect temperature and the stairs give him a place to sit and play. In the evenings the wine bar is a lovely place to relax and the food is delicious. If you need to travel to this part of the world then stay here, it is a beautiful, tranquil location and we are enjoying every second of our break.
• T8598XZalexj (10/5): A perfect stay - I love this place. I stay in 30+ hotels per year for work or leisure and am rarely tempted to write a review however this place deserves it. The location is lovely and tucked away but not far from the beautiful city of Guimaraes and the motorways. The small complex is perfectly designed with superb landscaping and is run by a very friendly manager and his team who pay attention to detail and provide excellent service. The pool is lovely but the highlight was the perfectly formed cottages that we were so impessed by that we are considering asking for the plans so we can build our own. They are very well designed and appointed. The beds are big and comfortable and fridges and hobs are full size. We didn't have lunch or dinner in the restaurant but the food we saw on tables looked really good. Breakfast is delicious and varied with cheeses, meats, bread, croissants, pastel de nata, cereal, perfectly ripe fruit, OJ, coffee, hot chocolate and fresh bread. My only criticism is it may be a bit too much! I can't fault this place and we had a lovely time. We will be back.

• Rafaela (10/5): Atendimento maravilhoso - Tudo maravilhoso! desde a recepção, atendimento, café da manhã. Cama confortável, com lençóis brancos e cheirosos. Varios travesseiros. Televisão com muitos canais e Netflix. Uma natureza exuberante, todo jardim bem cuidado. Os funcionários fazem toda diferença, sempre prontos a ajudar e sorridentes. Quanto à localização, recomendo ir se tiver de carro.
• Osmyr (10/5): Ótimo alojamento em local tranquilo - Lugar ótimo para uma estadia tranquila, pousada com quartos independentes espalhados pelo terreno. Recebemos um upgrade para uma instalação maior com cozinha e sala, gentileza muito apreciada. Ótima internet, bom ambiente para dormir, com silêncio e privacidade. Só achei que havia muitas almofadas decorativas sobre a cama, elas tinham que ser retiradas na hora de dormir e ocupavam bastante espaço. O café da manhã era bom, mas sempre igual em todos os dias. Funcionários gentis e atenciosos. Tínhamos um controle remoto para abrir e fechar o portão do estacionamento.
• christian (10/5): Accueil épatant - Accueil (en français!) très chaleureux et compétent dans une petite résidence hôtelière moderne d'une dizaine d'apparts répartis en escalier autour de la piscine. Les logements sont d'une belle superficie et le confort au rendez-vous. Le personnel est aux petits soins et le petit déjeuner agréable. Seul bémol : il est indispensable d'être motorisé (avec GPS!) car l'hôtel est un peu au milieu de nulle part, pas facile facile à trouver mais assurément dans une région magnifique entre Braga et Guimaraes, deux villes qui méritent d'être découvertes.
• Sónia (10/5): Fim-de-semana relaxante - Reserva de fim-de-semana, em família. Empreendimento situado em São Torcato (muito perto do bonito mosteiro), e a cerca de 7km do centro histórico de Guimarães. De arquitectura bonita, que sobressai no meio onde se insere, com presença cuidada e muito agradável de espaços verdes. Denota-se que houve um cuidado de coerência nos espaços todos. Tem piscinas, parque infantil, mini-golfe, um pequeno ginásio, e serviços de massagens ao dispor. Habitação interessante, limpa, com boa insonorização e boa temperatura ambiente (estava tempo muito frio) e com pormenores de apreciar (por exemplo: peças de arte de artistas locais, livros; loiças, turcos e têxteis de boa qualidade; diversos tipos de almofadas à disposição). O staff é muito disponível e muito amável, e criou um ambiente de hospitalidade que apreciámos bastante. O pequeno-almoço é servido na parte do bar, tendo sido agradável. De salientar a tranquilidade proporcionada na estadia, assim bem como a qualidade do serviço prestado.
• Deborah Lou (10/5): - Nuestra estancia ha sido excelente..pero es un lugar para quedarse dos o tres noches mínimo.
• Silvia (10/5): Pequeño paraíso - Son mucho más que un apartamento. Tienen todo lo necesario (excepto lavadora). Son casitas con su propia terraza. Son muy acogedoras, ideales para unas vacaciones. Como son casitas es super cómodo para acceder a las zonas comunes, en un instante estás en el bar para el desayuno o para lo que desees. Si el tiempo acompaña, estar en la terraza del mismo es muy agradable. Nosotros hemos estado en días de poca afluencia, con lo que hemos disfrutado de manera casi exclusiva de la piscina, la cuál tiene el agua climatizada. Los empleados son un encanto, están dispuestos a colaborar en cualquier cosa que necesites. Una mención especial a José por su gran capacidad de comunicación, qué es capaz hasta de comunicarse con los clientes qué solo hablan chino mandarín
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Cadre et lieu très agréable. Décoration des habitations et aménagements extérieurs de bon très goût. Le personnel est très attentif, disponible et très sympathique Petit déjeuner varié et complet Nous y retournerons

• andrezinho2014 (10/5): Imagine yourself at a render-vous with nature. - Imagine a perfect place to be with yourself, loved ones or nature. That place is Vale de S. Torcato Houses and Wine Bar. A unique place nearby Guimarães, a Unesco World Heritage city, superbly mastered by human good taste, with a permanent close attention to costumers needs specially the most important ones, those you don´t even mind to ask, as time, sound and vision. Excellent wines to be tasted, an amazing swimming pool where even silence rests, lovely and so comfortable bedrooms and so mush peace of mind. You do have to go there.
