Rio do Prado

The room was spacious, immaculately clean, and beautifully designed, with modern amenities that made my stay incredibly comfortable. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep, and the views from the window were breathtaking. It’s evident that the hotel places great emphasis on comfort and luxury.

Beautiful boutique hotel, which can be considered as a great winter getaway to spend time by the fireplace. Quirky design elements make one want to shoot instagram-able pictures. The restaurant serves average fare but is the only option one has without having to drive 15 minutes to the nearest town. We opted for the degustation fare but discovered that it was an assortment of various dishes on the regular menu, just that it was at the whim of the chef. The food was good but lacked the oomph to be called 'degustation fare'. Overall the hotel is very nice, and the staff make an effort to make one's stay special. It's close to the beaches and Obidos castle.

The place is absolutely beautiful, the food tasted great, we did feel the breakfast missed hot options (eggs, veggies..). Our room was quiet but lacked some maintenance, the bathtub produced a sewer smell after we drained it for 10min and there was a nail coming out of the wooden floors that can be dangerous if overlooked. Although we were well aware that we’re in the middle of a green space, we did find quite a few insects in the room, which wasn’t a throw off but people that don’t tolerate insects might want to reconsider this choice or ask the staff to spray the room with insecticides before the check in. It’s a good option for a couples wanting to relax but would be even more fun as a group of friends given the common space available to hang out in.
