  Perfect location for peace and quite, with extremely kind and attentive staff, and the dogs loved it

  Liked : The location is beautiful- views all round, peaceful and ideal for staying with dogs. The dinners were exceptional- with local ingredients and adapted to our tastes. The staff were more than helpful and made our stay a delight.

  Disliked : Room was good, but unconvinced about the open bathroom/bedroom setup. As with all old buildings in the countryside in the Alentejo damp seems to be an issue-but the heating kept us toasty.

  Overall, Herdade do Vau is a wonderful place to disconnect and enjoy nature — perfect for those look

  Liked : Herdade do Vau is a beautiful and peaceful retreat in the heart of the Alentejo. The views over the plains are simply stunning, and there’s a small lake that adds to the charm of the landscape. The house itself is very traditional, both inside and out, with a large garden that invites you to relax and enjoy the surroundings. You can take a short and pleasant walk down to the river, and if the night sky is clear, you’ll be treated to an incredible display of stars — truly breathtaking.

  Disliked : The access road is quite bumpy and could be rough on smaller or rented cars, so a 4x4 is recommended. Wi-Fi coverage is weak, and there’s no 4G or 5G signal in the area, which can be inconvenient if you need to stay connected. The mattresses and pillows could be more comfortable, and the rooms would benefit from better soundproofing, especially between the corridor and the bathroom area.

  We felt welcome and relaxed as soon as we stepped into this iconic traditional setting.

  Liked : It was in a beautiful rural setting, easy shaded parking being away from town, picturesque and serene. It was very comfortable and homely, with friendly staff who made us feel very welcome. We loved the pool and various secluded seating spaces on decks and under the trees. We enjoyed a delicious and generous homestyle meal paired with lovely wines. Superb!

  Beautiful

  Liked : The staff was wonderfully friendly. The place is stunning with breathtaking views. There are a few comments about the road up to the property and yea, it’s long, windy and dirty. Big deal!
  The apartment was very clean, comfortable beds, spacious living areas. The pool is beautiful and again overlooks stunning views.
  We had dinner there on the first night and while expensive, it was delicious.
  Breakfast was simple but tasty with a wide enough variety.

  Disliked : 1- my personal choice is not to have dinner with other guests, by this I mean to be seated at the same table. I didn’t appreciate that in the slightest.
  2- the fridge didn’t work and some of our food ended up spoiling (however I’m sure this will be fixed in time for the next guests)
  3- there is only ac in the bedrooms. This meant that we couldn’t actually stay in the upstairs part because we were melting! This was disappointing because we had taken games for some family fun in the evening!

  Liked : Everything was on point! The staff, the rooms, the wine, the view, the pool, the food. This was our nummer one stay in Portugal and we have seen a lot of accomodations already.
  
  We also loved the fact that at dinner al the guests are put at the seem table, to have dinner together and share the wine. I have met wonderfull people and we shares great stories.
  
  The cheff of the hotel is this wonderfull talented lady and they serve the food with so much care and Joy.
  
  Defenetly worth to pay a visit!
