4 Stars Hotels in Beja District, Portugal

We came here for 3 nights before heading to Cascais for a further 3 nights last week. The Hotel is perfectly situated next to beautiful beaches, minutes from the old town, walks etc. We found the staff to be very helpful and friendly and overall the hotel is clean. Breakfast buffet is generous, if you can get a table on the outside veranda do as the view is fantastic. In the Evening the buffet /dinner appears to be very popular and good value at €22 approximately. You can also avail of a complimentary glass of wine . However , I feel it is worth pointing out some issues that could and should be addressed by the hotel to raise its standards and reputation that it deserves due to its location. 1-No glasses in the rooms . Why not? even for toothbrushes etc. 2-No hooks on the bathroom door for wet towels . 3-No towels by the poolside .This is standard in all hotels. 4-The beds / mattress's are very hardened uncomfortable ! 5-A daily charge of €2.50 for use of the safe. I have never come across this before. I travel extensively worldwide with my work, staying an average of between 30-50 hotels per year. This should be included, for the safekeeping of guests .Considering the room rates are not exactly bargains. Overall we enjoyed our stay at the HS Milfontes. I feel there are issues and shortcomings that could be very easily addressed by the owners/Management without breaking the bank in expenditure. Hopefully we will be back again in the near future with a sea view room ,albeit with a more comfortable bed !!

Stayed two nights for work. The place isn't so bad. The check in was quick, get a key card and head for the elevator. The room itself is clean, the air conditioning works well. In Beja, in the summer, this was a blessing. The bathroom is clean, towels were above average and there were plenty of amenities. The bed was good and I slept well. WiFi had some spots in it, but otherwise it was acceptable. The restaurant opens at 19h30, and it is average at best. Food was salty and the presentation was lacking. Breakfast is a buffet, plenty of items for everyone's lifestyle.

This is a very good hotel, ideal for a weekend break and especially if you want to be near to the beautiful Guardiana river. We travelled up the Portuguese side and visited Mertola which was, to be honest, a bit underwhelming but as the road gave way to the Alentejo countryside, appreciation was lifted. The hotel was easy to locate, impressive even in the mist and gentle rain and we felt instantly that it wa a good choice. The reception was warm and friendly and our room was substantial with all facilities, very clean and well prepared and had a lovely view over the swimming pool. The observatory was under modification; the games room in the Library was good to have even though it was quite cold. We did arrive on a Sunday night - the restaurant was open with an understandably limited menu. One of us is a no-fish vegetarian and so it is our fault that there was nothing we could sit down to and we could find nothing open in the village. But it was our fault. Should have rung ahead. We would happily visit again. Breakfast was extensive and good but, other than pancakes, nothing hot.

Enigma is miles off the beaten track and really special. Beautifully clean and light and airy. The bedrooms were superb and spacious. Elena and Anna were professional and very friendly and charming and attended promptly to all our needs and requests. The swimming pools and facilities were really exceptional and we welcomed the chance to lie in the sun after a hard day's cycling in quite warm temperatures. They laid on a tasty meal - most of us had Chicken Stroganoff- which was very tasty. Our waiter worked hard and efficiently to ensure we were well looked after in the restaurant. The breakfasts were extensive and well presented and tasty. The place was in such a remote location that there was no noise at night. The next morning we cycled off down a dirt track for several miles before we joined more conventional roads!

Wonderful hosts, room was spacious with luxury linens. Although we were off season, and it was quiet the town itself is a lovely place to stroll around. It is the little things that made this stay special, and I'd list them but then it wouldn't be a surprise. Isabel helped us find a restaurant which was a few doors down, and had fabulous food, and sat down and chatted with is for quite a bit. I would rate this as an upscale boutique hotel, worth the price. next time I would choose the room upstairs that faces the water, what a view!
