Aethos Ericeira

Aethos Ericeira absolutely fulfills its rating as a five star hotel and experience! The hotel itself is absolutely stunning, on top of its already incredible location on the cliffs overlooking the ocean. The hotel itself provides a modern experience with plenty of luxury amenities. The staff were all extraordinarily professional and kind. I would highly recommend Aethos Ericeira to anyone!

Aethos Hotel has some lovely design elements, but it ultimately falls short in a few key areas. While the interiors are stylish and modern, the hotel itself feels too small to comfortably accommodate the number of guests. This is especially noticeable in the pool area, which is cramped and lacks the relaxing atmosphere you'd hope for. The biggest letdown, however, is the attitude of some of the staff members, a level of arrogance is displayed by staff members and this makes it rather unpleasant and uninviting to do something in the hotel. Also the outdoor space is poorly maintained and gives off a neglected vibe, more like farmland than a hotel garden. This lack of service and hospitality really detracts from the overall experience, making it hard to fully enjoy the otherwise nice design features. Aethos has potential, but it needs better upkeep and a more spacious layout to truly shine.

This is a great property right on the ocean's edge! Very modern with a wonderful staff. The view is great but can be windy! The restaurant has a limited menu for dinner and lunch but a terrific breakfast buffet. The one draw back is that it is a bit isolated and a good distance from any restaurants; taxis are available but it would be best to have car. As we weren't driving, we would have preferred to stay in town. If you have transportation and looking for a quiet place, the Aethos Erceria is for you!

This hotel is absolutely beautiful. It’s stylish and relaxed and the staff are attentive and very friendly. The only drawback was the location of my room near where deliveries were made and the staff took trash out the hotel. These activities are obviously necessary, but they were loud and we found them to be disruptive of the peaceful atmosphere. Also, we decided to treat ourselves to a bottle of champagne from the mini bar, but found it was oxidized (probably not stored properly) We did enjoy a fantastic couples massage and a nighttime swim in the heated saltwater pool. We also took in a sunset and moon rise at the nearby beach which we had all to ourselves. Very romantic! We enjoyed the breakfast as well. The buffet was sublime - it offered every you could imagine and more! Highly recommend this hotel!

We stayed for 7 glorious nights at Aethos Ericeira in mid February. The hotel is beautifully designed and situated with amazing views of the Atlantic Ocean - just a few minutes drive from local beaches and the town of Ericeira. The hotel has been carefully and tastefully designed in a scandi style. Breakfasts were a special part of the day, with a lovely personal service provided by the friendly but discreet staff. We used the pool, gym and steam room a few times and we had the space pretty much to ourselves. This hotel ticked all the boxes for a peaceful and luxurious week away. Highly recommend!

Very pretty design hotel about 15min drive from Ericeira town. Located on cliffs with seaviews all around, sleeping with the sound of the ocean and waves breaking. Decor is astonishing and very welcoming - great lobby area to relax and hang out. Terrace overlooking ocean, cliffs and sunset with all kinds of comfy chairs. Hotel has a really nice vibe. Nothing in the neighborhood for now so you need to bring your own wheels. Great heated pool (28C)  in inner courtyard with loungers and surrounded by grasses. Looks awesome and mid november swimming in 28C is really comfortable. No seaview but with the wind around here, you want your pool located out of the wind. Restaurant has a great terrace with beautiful views, large windows so you have awesome views from anywhere. Breakfast is very good with lots of options, including healthy ones. All looks fantastic and tastes really good. We had dinner one night and food was fantastic: my grouper caldeirada style was delicious. Got some creamed spinach on the side and this was the best I ever had. Oysters from Rio Formosa to start with and some sourdough and olives. Staff is incredibly friendly and attentive and cater to every need. We could do an online check-in and indicate at which time we woudl arrive. I indicated 10pm as we had dinner with friends first however they emailed me in the evening and called me as well to ask when we would arrive. I did not have my data on so did not get the email and I do not answer phonecalls from unknown numbers as we get those a lot in HK and they are all bogus marketing calls. Also don’t understand why you ask guests for check-in time during online check-in and then do not read the answer. Hotel is all modern design but that comes with some impractical flaws. Bathroom has a glass wall so you can oversea the sea when showering. There is a room divider parked in front that is see-through. However, when u turn on the lights in the middle of the night in the bathroom, the entire room is flooded with light taking your partner up in the room. There is a minibar but no coffee or tea making facilities, not even a kettle. We did ask for one and got one immediately as I love my cup of tea in the evening. However you would expect some facilities like this in the room. There was a mini bar with alcohol though. Bathrobes are extremely short and small and we are not very tall nor big people. They end above knee and you can’t close them completely and leaves you with a gaping hole all over your thighs Do note the seaview rooms are on the side of the hotel with the service road in front of you: suites have the real seaview. Since it was quiet in the hotel, not a problem but I expect in high season there will be more traffic and people. Balconies have iron railings and when u sit down on the comfy chairs - you look through the dividers and they do the obstruct your view. Looks all nice designy but shame of the obstructing view. All in all a really nice experience and hotel and

1000% recommend! I recently visited with my sister and Aethos was nothing short of perfection. We loved it so much that we ended up extending our stay. The service was exceptional, the entire team was kind and attentive, the food & drinks were fantastic, and the views throughout the hotel were simply magical. A special thanks to Joana, Andre and Afonso for their remarkable warmth and hospitality throughout our stay. I am eagerly looking forward to returning soon.
