Reviews of Monte das Faias Cork Farm Hotel

The only thing we liked was the size of the room and the view accross the fields

This place is like a run down holiday camp in the middle of nowhere. The swimming pool area looked unkept and the pool was green around the top tiles. No sunshades. The rooms are tired the tv is so tiny on the wall we had no remote to work it. No tea or coffee in the room. We had an extremely noisy family 2 doors up and got no sleep. The towels were so thin and scratchy and the water took ages to come through hot.and the shower head kept falling off. Breakfast was very poor. The owner is kind but this place needs a complete reform.very expensive for what there is. We didn,t complete our stay.

The silence and tranquility

The bathroom was in need of renovation

Lovely country house with multiple apartments off the busy roads and cities, located in heart of Alentejo. Has it's own pool to enjoy. Nice breakfast with some local produce. Kind and welcoming staff and owners. Bonus, Comporta and other beautiful beaches are 30 minutes drive from there

Initially couldn't understand where's the reception. Would be useful to have a sign from parking lot considering that there are other buildings nearby.

Everything

needed more kitchen equipment

Location, beautiful countryside, quiet. felt safe and at ease. Owner manager was extremely kind and accommodating so was the staff. Delicious free breakfast and delicious dinner should you choose to book it. Will come back!

The entrance is very beautiful. The style is quite “roquoquo” but matches with the style in general. The breakfast was very good. Lots of handmade dishes.

Lovely serene location set amidst 500 hectares of cork oaks. Only thing you hear are the birds in the fields. Attractive repurposing of old stable buildings and farm structures to very comfortable lodging. Very tasteful understated design. Very nice outdoor pool.

Standard breakfast offering. Quiet location. Dave, our host was very pleasant.

The furniture in the rooms was pretty basic. The proprietor obviously likes older style furniture but I felt that this furniture could have been restored to a higher level. The room could have benefitted by having an extra easy chair in the room.

What a charming farm hotel! We loved the traditional decor, the generous and varied breakfast (baked goods, meats, cheeses, eggs, fruit) and swam twice in the beautiful outdoor pool, all surrounded by cork trees!

My daughter said: “you know what I like about this place? There are lots of bugs.” If you don’t have a burgeoning entomologist, you may not find that a plus.

Firstly,the access is good and well paved(no sketchy dirt roads). The rooms are very rustic but comfortable at the same time. There are parking spaces but not all have shade. The farm is surrounded with trees and the beautifull Alentejo landscape. There are some facilities like the tennis coutmrt which i did not use. The kids loved the playground and the big tree. The breakfast is not what you usually find in hotels, no need for crazy amount of selection when everything displayed is high quality. There is local sourdough bread which makes amazing toasts, quality cheese and chorizo, homemade marmalades. There were 2 kinds of homemade cakes that were also delicious. The staff was very helpull and friendly which improved even more the experience. You cant find better quality for money

Location, staff everything was exceptional. Brilliant. We shall keep returning!

There was nothing to dislike.

This lovely accommodation is located inside a cork farm, which made the stay special and peaceful. Dinner is optional, but it was very delicious and well prepared. The owner was very kind and friendly. He even showed us around the cork farm, which was a wonderful experience. If we visit Lisbon again, we would definitely love to stay here once more.

Quiet nature farm, lovely run, great breakfast, big and comfy rooms with a lovely view to the outside.

Everything was fine, even in a winter weekend. Only comment would be the low pressure in the sink.

The location .

The facilities needs to be maintained.
