Nothing. It was as perfect a place to stay as I've experienced, and I've had plenty!

I don't usually rate hotels and lodgings, I expect them to be good and don't feel they need my two cents to promote them. Quinta da Soneca exceeded my expectations in nearly every way. The property was beautiful and spotlessless. It had amazing views a stupendous pool area and wonderful comfort all around. It was comfortable in the bedroom, by the pool and by the general areas of living room and dining area. Theresa and Nuno were exceptional hosts. They fell over themselves offering us wine and yummy treats every day we were there. I joked with them that I was unaware they were running an "all inclusive resort". They were insulted if I brought my own bottle of wine!. And, they spent time chatting with us and that made us feel welcome and helped us learn about Portuguese culture and daily life. And, the best part: their dogs Djambe a senior Ridgeback, mellow as could be; Cjulwinga a young Weimaraner who was sweet and engaging and Bisca a mini daschsaund who was cuddly and adorable were the highlight of our stay (and believe me there were many highlights). Finally, I would be remiss to ignore Gil, the donkey who came running when you went to say hello and rub her head. Too sweet, it made my day. I could go on and on. Just know if you pick the place you will be doing yourself a favor. There are many small interesting and fun village within 15-25 minutes driving. It means you can mix a bit of exploring with a bit of relaxing in one day. Do not let this opportunity pass you by. I went here with a friend (we each had a separate room) and both thought it was the best place ever.

This is a wonderful place - truly exceptional host in Nuno and so quiet and peaceful. You just unwind! It’s also 2 mins from Alandroal so you can easily go for a good meal. I will be back!

I wish I could have stayed longer.

This place is a little peaceful paradise in Alentejo with extraordinary hosts. Everything was perfect. The relaxing and beautiful landscape, the morning breakfast, the wine by the pool admiring the sunset. I will definitely comeback again.

Location provided both relaxation with beautiful views and was also a short walk away from exploring the town with restaurants available there. The staff was amazing and went out of their way to make sure our stay was fun and comfortable.

Nothing.

The room was comfortable and impeccably clean, the bed was perfect with great linens and a nice feather pillow (other options were available, though). Breakfast was delicious, with warm homemade croissants, a freshly baked cake and delicious Alentejo bread everyday, along with fresh squeezed orange juice, a variety of delicious local cheeses, smoked meats and homemade jams. The place was paradise and exactly what I needed: a place to rest, read, be in touch with nature and a gorgeous sunset reflecting on the infinity pool. As a bonus, I got to take long walks around with their friendly dogs. However and like most places, it is the people that made it outstanding. The hosts Teresa and Nuno make you feel at home from the very first moment and their warmth and friendliness will make you never want to leave. It doesn't get any better than this so I can't wait to go back!

When you love to stay in the nature of Alentejo, this is the place to be. We also thank the hugh hospitality of Theresa and Nuno, who make that we felt at home. There are places in your life, you never forget, and this is one of them. We loved every moment we were at Quinta da Soneca.

- I would have liked a table or a desk in my room. Now, if I wanted to use my laptop, I had to sit in the breakfast room. It made me feel like I was imposing on the hosts. - Electric sockets in odd places, to charge my various devices and batteries. - An extremely uncomfortable lounge chair in my room and where should the second person sit? - As there is no bar or restaurant on the premises, I would have appreciated coffee and tea making facilities in my room and perhaps a fridge to keep some milk and snacks. - Luckily I was allowed to park my car by the entrance, because I really wouldn't have liked the long slog to the official parking spots, especially if you are lugging stuff or in the dark.

- The hosts were absolutely wonderful and very caring. I can't thank them enough for how well they treated me. - Location is beautiful between cork oaks and olive trees. Very peaceful. - The room was lovely with private patio. - Nice bathroom with walk in shower. - Wonderful breakfast - Very comfortable beds. Slept like a log.
