Our place had two rooms and was very spacious and we loved the decor of the place. Coming in the off season, we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed the indoor pool and sauna. Service was excellent.

Left wanting more- too expensive.
For the price and 5 star hotel rating, you expect more, quite simply. They charge €3 per espresso pod, when even the most basic hotel have complimentary coffee included. The staff are unsure how to light a log fire and the wifi in the room does not work. The breakfast is the only highlight- besides this, the rooms are very basic along with the amenities in the bathroom. The location is beautiful and the spa is very nice- the actual rooms are small and there were lots of flies and bugs in the room.

It was absolutely amazing. Food was unbelievable. Service excellent. I would the only improvement would be the spa I would make it bigger with a hydra pool. The suites themselves were romantic and secluded.

Dear Daniel, Thank you for choosing L'AND Vineyards. We also want to thank you for your comments on your stay. We regret to hear that we were not up to your expectations. Your comments were already shared with the management. We hope that, even so, you still had a nice time, while with us, and that you still keep considering us for a future reservation. Best regards

A nice stay but lacking a few touches
My husband and I decided to come to L'AND for my birthday. We had a pleasant weekend but we felt that this 5-star hotel was lacking in a few things that didn't really give us a 5-star experience. We felt that the room lacked a few finishing touches, the toiletries were subpar, the toilet paper was very rough, there was very little lighting in the bathroom and the TV was cheap and didn't fit the overall design of the place. The bed was very comfortable, the robes were plush, and the fireplace outside was really lovely. I also felt that the breakfast could have been handled a bit better. We stayed during Covid and they asked us to book our breakfast (which was a good idea) but then the buffet needed to be served by the staff (also a good idea) however, there was usually only one person manning the buffet station and about 4-5 people waiting to be served. It didn't seem that the restaurant area lacked staff but I could be wrong. Overall we had a nice stay, I enjoyed my complimentary bottle of wine and cake for my birthday, but I didn't feel like we had a 5-star experience.

Our first suite's wifi is not working. Staffs were very fast in responding and upgrade us to a higher level suite. Overall, location is great with only an hour drive from Lisbon. Service is excellent, breakfast at the Michelin 1 star restaurant is amazing. They also give us homemade red wine and honey as gifts. Will definitely come back again one day at the harvest!

A perfect, peaceful retreat for my husband and I. The suite was spacious, the design of the rooms and common areas tasteful, and the fresh breakfast was unbelievable. Plus, we walked away with a complimentary bottle of wine and jar of local honey. We also enjoyed a lovely dinner at their Michelin starred restaurant and exploring the sleepy surrounding towns. We would gladly come back!

Property is a massive vineyard that is still under some construction. We had a miscommunication with the property with regards to when we booked our garden suite it showed it had the skylight in the bedroom. This was not the case and was only available to the other suite. The staff blamed this on expedia and said it was not their fault. They gave us the option to upgrade to the skylight room for an additional 100 Euros. Room was massive. Outdoor fireplace really seemed to lack any additional furniture and seemed to under use the space as they only had two chairs and a small table. Overall it was a pretty cool place but did not blow us away. The spa was very nice and well laid out. One of the issues was with my wife commenting on the shower in the woman's change room stinking like sewage so bad that she could not shower in it and the staff not having any clean cups for water out. We could have asked and I'm sure that the staff would have come running with them. My thoughts on a five star hotel is that you should not have to ask about those little things. Great property and great idea. They just need to work on the little things.

What an incredible place with top notch staff and service. The views around the property are spectacular, the chefs tasting menu exceeded expectation and chilling by our own private fire was boom diggitty. Plus the rooms are spacious and welcoming and I can’t stress enough the morning buffet breakfast is perfection

Idyllic surroundings and Michelin-star food!
Great hotel for a relaxing couples getaway which is an easy drive from Lisbon and the wider Alentejo region. We stayed two nights in a Sky Suite which was spacious and comfortable, but could do with a little spruce up to bring it back to a five star standard. The whole suite was a little dark and the bathroom got quite cold in the evenings as there does not seem to be heating in there. We enjoyed a bit of stargazing through the skylight, and though we went in January, it was warm enough to use the outdoor plunge pool in the suite - just be warned that it takes ages to fill! As expected, the food and wine were excellent - breakfast was generous and of a high standard, there's a complimentary wine and nibbles hour at 4pm, and if you're not eating at the main restaurant the bar does serve some light meals. However, the tasting menus at the Michelin-star restaurant are a must-try; the food and service were fantastic.

Good hotel with right potential to be great
A very good hotel. Great location and comfortable. Parts of the rooms, like the bathrooms and wardrobes are in need of upgrades. Breakfast was great. We have dinner at the main restaurant and thought the food could be better. Overall, still a very comfortable stay.

Beautiful place. I stayed there in November. Very recommend. As a feedback for the management itself, we would recommend to review the lighting project of the rooms. They are charming, but not functional. At the minibar, for instance, there was no light and we could not even prepare a cup of tea without our movile’s light. Would also recommend some wood for the fireplace to be legt at the room for the gueststo use when convenient. In general, very nice food and nature.

Magic for couple.
This is a full luxury magic setting. Very exclusive and unique. A place to retreat and enjoy calmness. Service is discrete and attentive. The suites are spacious and very organic. Enjoy the outdoor fireplace or the large skylight above the bed. The Michelin stared restaurant is in harmony with the zen ambiance. Highly recommandable for adults. Children would get bored quickly and wouldn’t feel comfortable in that environnement.

We had an extremely relaxing stay, and the staff were extremely accommodating to all our requests. I do wish that they did a tasting of various Alentejo wines as well as an introduction to the region. That being said, the wine pairings at the restaurant took us on a tour of Portugal and included wines from regions that are not widely known as wine-producing regions. We definitely enjoyed our stay and would consider returning on a future trip to Portugal.

Nice hotel if you have time to kill
The hotel was nice, but only if you have extra days to kill in Portugal. Given our limited days, I kind of wish we had spent the extra two days elsewhere. We stayed in a stargazing suite & couldn't really see anything through the rooftop at night. You had to actually go outside to see anything. The grounds were pretty, but if you've been to other vineyards or countryside hotels, nothing spectacular to go out of your way for. The rooms were fine & I understand the idea behind this but they were a bit too dark (not enough lighting) for our liking. This made getting ready difficult at night or hanging out after dinner quite difficult. They also couldn't do our fireplaces after 10pm. Speaking of which, the hotel shuts down quite early so prepare for that if you go. The spa was nice & the massages were good (not amazing, but certainly relaxing). The staff was mixed - some were nice but others were a bit short with guests. There is also quite a language barrier for english, which was not a problem we encountered in other parts of Portugal at all. With all that said, it was still quite a nice two day respite. It's all a matter of taste.

It is a very nice hotel for a relax stay out of urban noise in the middle of a rural area. Services are great and staff great people. You can visit the rural region vineyards and the Roman Augusta Emerita (Mérida, Spain) which is less than 2 hours far from the hotel.

Many promises but no delivery
Check in provided no details regarding stay such as breakfast times, activities, etc. We were never told that a group was staying at the hotel so that certain facilities would not be available to us. Received half of what hotel advertised. Overall it is just a time share property trying to sell rooms to get by. Staff was awful and fumbling on everything. Weird that the only wine tasting they offer is just after breakfast…..seriously??????
