Guest reviews for Estalagem do Vale
"Absolutely wonderful view; rooms are clean and well kept; breakfasts and dinners are great; staff is very nice and helpful"
"The building and furniture are dated, expect chipped wood and a lil' corrosion here and there; amenities common to a 3 star hotel, such as tea and kettle, slippers, safe locker, are either absent or paywalled; location, while beautiful, lacks infrastructure, you get stranded if you don't have a car"
"The place is absolutely gorgeous. A very good location, people at the reception were super nice and helpful."
"Aucun."
"Extremely kind and accommodating staff! The room was very comfortable and quiet with a beautiful view across the valley."
"Aucun."
"Although we didn’t have time to use them the mini golf, snooker, table tennis and pool were nice to have. The lady who checked us in on reception was lovely, and enjoyed the friendly cat that lives at the hotel. Breakfast was nice too."
"The bathroom had a bad smell which let it down and you needed to drive into the town as it was a bit far/uphill to the hotel"
"I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of options. I would definitely recommend this place and hope to come back again."
"Aucun."
"We really enjoyed having a base in the North of the island from which to explore. The staff were super friendly The rooms were cosy and our balcony a bonus The view from the pool is great Great supermarket just down the road for stocking up"
"The beds are a little too firm for us"
"We only spent 1 night here because our flight home was cancelled. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean, and it was good that there was air conditioning. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful."
"Unfortunately, I was injured previously and had to use crutches to get around, which was very difficult for me here at the hotel. There is an elevator, but it is a relatively steep ‘slope’ to get there and to the rooms. If someone uses a wheelchair, it is not a problem, but with crutches it can be a problem."
"Very nice staff, great breakfast with fresh fruits, eggs, testy cakes and coffee, we loved the pool - even during big rains, since the pool is covered and therefore greater for any time swimming, sauna was useful in cold weather. The location is also very nice giving a local climate."
"Limited parking, a bit dark in the room if you are on level 1 from the garden dive, but this is not a problem if you are out most of the time or enjoying hotel facilities."
"Located in a lovely area, close to the sea and the mountains, ideal for walkers. Rooms & communal areas are very comfortable & clean. Great amenities, ie pool, gym, sauna, gardens, etc. Their masseur provides a great service - this is in the gym, not a dedicated spa area. Lovely staff who couldn't have been nicer or more helpful.We plan on returning!"
"The evening meal options were very limited & the quality was variable - when it was good, it was great, but at other times, it wasn't so great. Staffing levels were pitifully low. The poor bar man (who was great, BTW) was running around waiting & clearing tables, etc while tending the bar! The hotel was fully booked with the majority looking to book tables and use the bar all within a 3 hr time frame. We've no idea how he managed it, but somehow he did! We felt bad for the poor guy who somehow managed to maintain a cheerful demeanour while this was going on!"
"Staff were really helpful and gave us plenty of info and advice about where to explore in the North of the island."
"Aucun."

"What a gem! This is a superbly well managed property, our host D. Laura is an amazing housekeeper. The value for money is incredible. The region is beautiful and the swimming pool overseeing the valley the cherry on top of this super good stay. The kids also loved it!"

Christiane Sol Dourado
"We were on the Fishermen's trail and only stayed one night and did not really use all the amenities. It's a lovely place and I can highly recommend it. Lovely staff. They also gave us a room upgrade with an amazing view."
Cedric Monte Carvalhal da Rocha
"Very nice place. Very quiet, in the middle of horses. It was so nice to sit on the veranda and soak in the atmosphere. The veranda is also very nicely sheltered from the wind."
Therese SeteQuintas
"Beautiful property just outside of town. Secure parking for motorcycle travel. Town has plenty of public parking if you don't mind being 2km from center. Unit was vary nice with seperate sitting area, kitchen, outside veranda overlooking garden. Bedroom upstairs in loft area. Only thing I didn't understand was a sign at tge kitchen sink saying not to put water in glass. Maybe water is not safe to drink?"
Joseph Monte Das Alpenduradas
