I echo the good reviews posted by others. Our three hard-working hosts were very friendly and helpful, whilst the accommodation provided everything we needed. The pool, although cool, was very welcome and the gardens prettily laid out. Being a couple of kilometres outside the main village, the hotel was extremely relaxing and peaceful. The only very slight criticism is that the lighting was quite dark, making it difficult to read in the evening.
Breakfast, sitting outside, was a highlight with fruit, cheese, local charcuterie and eggs to order. Unlike most of the guests when we were there, we were not walking the entire Rota Vicentina, but did follow some of the trail along the clifftops. We didn't try the free bikes but cycling into Zambujeira would be very easy. Zambujeira is not a pretty village but is very attractively situated above the rocky cliffs with a good choice of restaurants and shopping facilities. We spent three nights at the hotel whilst exploring the beautiful Alentejo region.
