Amazing boutique hotel. Peaceful, beautiful, intimate, with the attention to details like in the best places I stayed before. Couple of details: the breakfast usually held by the pool is served at the time you discuss the night before with AnaMarie. While it was prepared and served just for the two of us our room was cleaned. The breakfast included among other things home made yogurt, and raspberry and quiche preserves cooked from their own fruits. Nice and easy drive to Pinhao for Porto tastings. Amazing couples retreat!

“Comfortable and peaceful”

This was a calm place to stay. We were in one of the apartments in the garden, which was modern inside. It consisted of a bedroom, shower room and large lounge area with dining table, small fridge and kettle...so we were able have a cuppa.

This was a calm place to stay. We were in one of the apartments in the garden, which was modern inside. It consisted of a bedroom, shower room and large lounge area with dining table, small fridge and kettle...so we were able have a cuppa. The place is not labelled outside, except for a small sign with a tree logo...so we were concerned we'd come to the wrong place, but we're warmly welcomed. The bed was very comfy, the pool was great, and the grounds attractive and well kept. The bells from the church are audible from the room, as is traffic from the main road through the village...but we didn't find either to be a problem. Breakfast is served at a table in the poolhouse. We found it plentiful with yoghurt, fruit, croissant, eggs, jam, bread, cheese, ham, fruit juice tea and coffee. The evening eating out options in Britiande are limited...but we did try a restaurant called Stop which provided tasty food at reasonable price...not a tourist destination, but good food if you're prepared to go with their recommendations ...and rather large portions. Other reviews have eaten at the accommodation but we did not try this

When we were greeted by AnaMarie I couldn't hlep gawking at the gardens as we went to our room. The flowers were beautiful, there were globe artichokes on the plants and the flowering vies were fabulous. Every element of the breakasts were lovely--especially the home made yogurt, The hospitality of the hosts was amazing--and I loved the books and paitings in the units and in the manor house.We accepted the offer of having dinner made for us at the property one night and really enjoyed it. Met a lovely couple also staying at the property. The visit that Ana Marie set up for us with her freind Miguel for a private port tasing was fabuous, as was the bottle of wine and snacks were had out on the lawn with our hosts the night we just didn't feel like going out for a big dinner. I would go back in a heartbeat any time I had the opportunity.
