L'Orée des Chênes The Originals Relais

I had a very enjoyable stay at this great hotel. I loved the park, the presence of wildlife and water, and the numerous walks as well as on-site activities (pool, sauna...). The location is stunning, the restaurant, excellent, and the staff, very friendly. Peace, comfort, and rest. Highly recommended.

The first visit was truly amazing. We arrived on a trip from Belgium to Portugal and a great room, an exceptional dinner in the dining room, a wonderful breakfast. The hotel is located away from the main road, followed by a reasonably ride away from the road. Deer running around the hotel gardens. The second visit a few weeks ago was not quite as good. There was a heatwave in place. The rooms did not have airconditioning, but fortunately they provided fans. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed Reception provided alternative dining options. Definitely one of my favourite hotels en-route, and also for a few days of relaxation.

We stayed one night on our way from Spain to Belgium. The surroundings are absolutely beautiful — peaceful, with a lovely lake and animals. Staff were kind and helpful, and dinner at the restaurant was excellent, though the kids' menu didn’t match the same quality. The rooms were disappointing for such a charming place — very dated, no A/C, only bathtubs, no shower. Breakfast was the biggest letdown: nothing fresh, and the few fruits available were literally rotten and full of flies. We still loved the atmosphere and with some improvements, especially to the rooms and breakfast, this could be a truly exceptional stay.
