Driving up the long, winding, cobblestone driveway, I was sure I had made a mistake and turned into a private residence. From the meticulously manicured gardens to the overall clean and fresh feeling I had when I got out of my car and was inside the small lobby, attention to detail and superb customer service are the calling cards of this friendly hotel. It is quiet here, and often I had the feeling I was the only person in the hotel. My room was very large and comfortable and the complimentary breakfast featured a variety of hot and cold foods sure to please anyone. I can’t say enough about Andre and the rest of the “team” here, always available to offer suggestions on local attractions, restaurants, and other unique places to stay across Portugal. Their aim is customer service and they are quite good at it. I really didn’t want to leave this relaxing atmosphere. If you are looking for a peaceful place to enjoy, I highly recommend Hotel Rural Quinta das Quintaes.
