An unplanned overnight stay that completely salvaged a horrific first day of our breakdown ridden drive to Portugal. From an hour away we called Stefan who squeezed us into the last available room in the Chateau and planned our evening (time to swim, shower and arrive at a wonderful local restaurant before final order cut off). This is a wonderful place to stay with lots of open space to do what you wish - play with children / dogs, pétanque, swim in the heated pool, sit and admire the unending view. Breakfast is a buffet with breads, fresh croissants / pain au chocolat, boiled eggs along with cereals and yoghurts in one of two dining rooms with large communal tables. The setting is beautiful. Easy to find when you know how - if the village church (100m away) is on your left you have driven past it. If it’s on your right, look left and find the stone wall, slow down and go past the first closed gate and pull in where the wall becomes conifer hedging. Press the buzzer for the large black iron gates to be opened for you. It’s worth coming down the driveway at night for the enchanting lighting display. This was a one hour diversion for us and totally worth it. Can’t wait to return for a longer weekend break.
