The bed. The single was really too little and hard. The bathroom roof also needs to be clean from mold

The kindness of the host and staff. The environment

Took some time to get running hot water in a distant chalet.

Nice people running the farm. Excellent dinner. Cork production presentatiion.

Our only nit was that the room lighting, and especially in the bathroom, was very low in intensity.

The owner(s) and staff were very helpful, competent and knowledgeable. Breakfast was excellent! The pool was very nice, and welcoming on the 35C days! We opted for dinner one night and we had absolutely the best lamb we have ever eaten. It was like filet mignon, so tasty and tender. Congratulations!

Very difficult to find - even the locals we asked sent us in the wrong direction

Food was excellent. Set menu of local dishes in the evening and wonderful spread for breakfast. Staff were charming and setting was splendid with open terrace from our room looking on to cork oak grove.

We are vegetarians and can't eat the traditional Alentejano dishes. They tried their best to make some dishes we could eat and enjoy.

It is a lovely and quiet place, with many facilities. Pool, tennis court, table tennis, children's playground. It has a very classic interior. The staff and the owner were amiable. They came to talk with us daily, complimentary free good breakfast, and the possibility of having dinner on request. Realy Alentejano confifiality. We loved our stay!

We would have loved a bit of information in the room about the place and its history, perhaps the restaurant and how that works. Otherwise, just a cool place to visit.

We liked the atmosphere, the room was really quaint. We arrived a bit early and they let us into our room. At first we weren't sure what to do but later we walked around the grounds. Just an amazing place. Had lots of questions for the owner and he was so kind to answer them all. The meal we had that night was second to none and the staff were so incredibly kind. What a great experience!

Bathroom needed updating and so did kitchenette.

Unusual chalets, arrived at night so didn’t appreciate the surroundings until the next morning. Breakfast was good and the bed was huge and comfortable.

only comment in this category is that there was no tea/coffee making equipment and no hair-drier. Would have been great to have them but no real problem for us.

charming peaceful rural property

Monte das Faias was one of my top stays of all time. You can feel the tranquility of the place almost physically and it´s very rejuvenating! The nice antique feel of the place made us wish it wasn´t only a temporary stay but our home. Definitelly will come back if there´s a chance. Plus a best homemede jam I´ve ever eaten, among other pleasures for breakfast.

This place in the country is lovely and very typical of the region, calm and quiet intermingled with the tinkling of the sheep bells and birds and the insects. The owners and the staff are absolutely wonderful and made me feel like I was at home. the bed was amaaaaazing!

We didn't find the place easy to find, but that coudl have been down to our satnav which found two places with the same name at different locations in Grandola - and neither of the GPS coordinates matched the one on Booking.com. After going around in circles for a while we just headed east along the Estrada Principal and found a sign to the place. Also if you are in desperate need of wifi you can't get it in the room, only in the communal area.

Wonderful location, breakfast was excellent and the evening meal of home-cooked typical alentejo food was superb - we had iberian pork as the main course which was incredibly tender and tasty

Great breakfast, beautiful property, its a nice break from the bustle of Lisbon

A possible tiny improvement could be a paved path from the front parking to the paved walkway outside the rooms, and perhaps an extra floor lamp in the room.

This is a true gem, a bit hidden away but worth the extra mile. Especially if you like peace and quiet, want to enjoy perfect and friendly hospitality and appreciate simplicity at its best. Generous breakfast, large rooms, nice and clean. I was served an amazing dinner and would return just to have another taste.

Stayed in October 2021

WiFi was not great but to be honest we were out all day so it was of little consequence.

Everything was perfect from beggining to end - from the service and staff to the facilities and of course the location itself which is utterly wonderful.
