Utterly flawless experience, Beautiful & Serene.
What an incredible place! Understated, relaxed, beautiful and relaxing little haven just outside the great little town of Ericeira. Service here was outstanding, Mafalda was wonderful and we couldn't fault the staff. We stayed for a whole week and to be honest, id be happy here for a month. the hotel booked our surfing for the week with the Tiago pires surf school, it was added to the hotel bill and the surf school were more than happy to collect, the hotel even made packed breakfast.
It's the little things that are exceptional, the yoga and pilates was great with Elsa. (please can the hotel get some full size yoga matts though! the little ones are the only fault!) the afternoon tea each day at 4.30 was served with beautiful local wine, the little fruit sticks but the pool and the different flavoured waters around the hotel were absolutely noticed and made a big difference in the little touches. The little cakes left in our room each evening again, special. We ate in the Emme restaurant too and it's beautiful, not cheap but absolutely worth every penny, I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't get a Michelin star one day soon.
But the breakfast is incredible too, which was included for us. expect proper fresh juices and homemade pastries and great a la carte menu too.
Utterly flawless experience and wouldn't hesitate to return. I spend my life living in hotels for work, and somehow this place didn't make it feel like I was in a hotel, it was a homely serene experience.
