Hotel Rural Vale Do Rio

We booked a room for just 1 night as a little romantic getaway during our holiday in Portugal. Upon arrival the peaceful area in which the hotel is located really soaks you into an relaxing mood. We were welcomed by friendly staff and even tho we arrived a little early, they made sure that our room was clean and ready for us. The room is very clean, nicely decorated and breaths the peaceful environment of the area. The spa facilities are great, we were lucky to have them all to ourselfs. There is an indoor pool, turkish steam sauna, jacuzzi and sauna. Right outside the pool area is enough space to soak up the sun on one of the chairs, a bar and a children playground. The hotel offers a library, pooltable, restaurant, roomservice, minibar, lounge area and enough activities which can be booked as an extra for your stay. Breakfast is included in each booking. Our overall experience is that this was the perfect getaway to really enjoy the peace and eachother.

The hotel was very nice all round and great value. The room was superb and had great views over the river in the distance and was very clean. The scenery outside was fantastic and the hotel situated in a very quiet and tranquil location in it's woodland retreat. The breakfast was wonderful and covers everybody's needs to start the day. If I had a negative about the hotel it would be the gym which needs updating with new equipment that actually works and doesn't fall to bits or is in bits and not functional. I did a session on arriving on the first day and it wasn't ideal. Overall very happy and we will return next year. Thumbs up

Lovely quiet location in a valley, car essential to get there. Very quiet when we stayed and no one using the facilities. The steam room, pool and jacuzzi are all very good. Good room size. Large bed and very comfortable, also enough big pillows. The staff spoke good English. Nice breakfast with enough choice and hubby loved the pancake maker. Restaurant food nice but felt a little expensive for a limit choice. No other Restaurant near by.

We stayed in one of the rooms with a hot tub in the balcony wich was the amazing feature of our stay. Alongside with that the room was pretty clean, comfy and really spacious. The facilities were great. The hotel is located in a really quite (almost isolated) place, being perfect to rest. We enjoyed the fact that you have access to the interior pool, jacuzzi and sauna. Having a pool table that you can freely use in the bar area was also a nice perk. We tried the restaurant wich was a pleasant surprise serving a good amount of really tasty food and the staff there were really kind like their colleagues from the front-desk. The breakfast was good with a lot of food options.

Beautiful property in a relaxing location. The breakfast buffet is fantastic, lots to choose from. The pool is lovely, as are the sauna and hot tub. There are plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas to share. There are gorgeous walking trails around the property that are wonderful to explore. The restaurant at the property is lovely and good value for money.
