Hotels near Vila Franca da Serra

Beautiful hotel and nice grounds and property.

The space is beautiful, the beds were super comfortable

We loved this place and felt very much at home there. It was like we had the place to ourselves in terms of being able to use all the facilities as we pleased but also knowing that they were there to help us with anything we needed. We were incredibly lucky with the weather and were able to use the carts, the zip line, and the archery etc. I would consider coming back in the summer to use the pool! Also breakfast was great and the dining room was super cosy. In our accommodation we appreciated having cable TV, especially when travelling with kids! I'm not sure if this is the case in all the rooms, though. It was a great experience overall and definitely set a standard for the kind of holiday we would like to have going forward.

lush grounds, historic building, food, location and friendly staff

Encosta do Sobreiro is easily and by far one of the best places I've ever stayed, if not the very best. The first sign of an exceptional stay came on the day before our arrival. Ms. Luisa called me to ask if we had any special request that she could help with. On the day of our stay, due to unplanned issues we arrived later than we have planned. Though I recognize this is inconvenient and should be avoided by the guests, Ms Luisa and Mr. Hugo did not complain even once. Quite the opposite. Mr. Hugo received us with a big smile! The attention to details continued: he used a disposable protector for his shoes before entering the house where we were staying. The house is fantastic. There are TVs in both rooms and a big TV in the living room. The bathroom was exceptionally clean and the towels were soft and smelled really good. And, by the way, the marble floor gave it a refined look. Water pressure was fantastic even for the hot temperature. In the Kitchen you have everything you possibly need for a short and comfortable stay: pans, italian moka coffee maker, nespresso machine, microwave, oven and stove. The beds were comfortable and cozy. In the outside there are tables and chairs where I could sit for a while to sip my coffee and simply relax. The house has a fireplace but also central heater. The breakfast was great with cheese, ham, jams, milk, cereal, honey and fresh bread being delivered in the morning. I will certainly return for a longer stay to enjoy the region, unwind and relax. Ms Luisa and Mr Hugo, my family and I thank you very much for a delightful stay!

Outstanding, we had the entire house to ourselves although it is a 2 bedroom house which rents both bedrooms. It is so clean and the living area is very large, certainly enough room for 4 guests. The owner is very kind. The view is incredible. Quiet area. We cooked our dinner as there are no restaurants within walking distance. The little mini market a block away had everything I needed for a nutritious dinner. The kitchen was well equipped.
