The dedication to local culture is evident in the Alentejo cuisine served, offering a true taste of the region. In my opinion, it's a genuinely unique destination for those seeking a blend of history, nature, and gastronomy.”

I loved the two pools. One is adult-only, which makes for a peaceful swim. Both seemed lightly salted, which was great.
