  : the surroundings, the quietness, the house facilities!
  : the breakfast, the way the food is presented, we need to ask, for half the food available, to be handed to us.

  : We spent 2 lovely nights at Monte do Giestal. Our Villa was very comfortable and clean and had everything we needed for a short stay with our 2 children - a 5 year old and a 9 month old baby. A travel cot, a baby high chair for meals as well as a bath was also arranged, which was very handy. Breakfast was included and very generous (with hot dishes included) - we choose our preferences out of a menu during check-in. We personally appreciated the fact that it was delivered every morning to our Villa at an arranged time suggested by us. This was perfect and stress free with our 2 little messy eaters. Same for dinner, the Villa provides a small menu with a few options for lunch and/or dinner that we ordered from and got delivered at a set time to the Villa. Communication was always good from the moment we booked and the staff was welcoming. Our baby had fever during the night and they even delivered very late at night a thermometer and some paracetamol as the pharmacy was still a reasonable drive away. That in itself made our whole experience much more relaxing than having to drive with 2 sleepy kids (one feeling poorly) in the middle of the night. The location is awesome. Very remote, surrounded by nature, with a pedestrian trail, donkeys and a beautiful pool that we didnt got the chance to try. The whole experience was very peaceful and private. The villa is located a short drive away fromBadoca Safari Park, so perfect for us!
  : We loved the sustainable approach but feltdisappointed with the fact that the Villadidnt offer recycling bins. It was painful forus to bin everything into one singletrash container. A small detail: The breakfast was fresh and delicious but the portions were a little big for our family so weve messaged and told them to amend our order for the following day with the intention to avoid food wastage but the exact same order was delivered even after confirmation. I think more could be done for the setting to be even more green conscious. For instances food items like: cheese, ham, jams and cold drinks could be kept in the fridge rather than delivered each day. if a guest needed a top up they could offer.

  : The property is good and has a good leisure space. The pool is large and has many games throughout the space. There are small animals around the place and the garden is very beautiful and well maintained.It is excellent for children.The breakfast was excellent. It has a parking area. And with a car we can explore the area calmly.
  : We were given a room with little space and facing the area where meals are served. This took away privacy and also made the noise uncomfortable. The bed is very small.

  : SPA needs an update, all areas are in a need for a reform.

  : The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious. We enjoyed playing Tennis.
  : The facilities like gym, indoor pool and sauna were really old and not well maintained. It was rather disappointing that we could not use them.
