This is a property truly in the middle of nowhere where you have to drive around 5k (3 miles) on a dirt road which is in pretty decent shape. The views are spectacular, you get to see vineyards, olive trees, a pond, and if you walk 2k (1.2 miles) you will get to the Guadiana River. The house looks like an Hacienda, very beautiful and maintenance is excellent. They also produce a respectable wine which you can consume there, and if you consider having dinner at the property it is already included in the price; I found this to be a quite attractive offer. The staff is second to none. Great service. From check-in to check-out. We arrived late around 9:45-10pm and they were already serving dinner. They had enough food so they offered us to join the dinner at a discounted price since it was already on the way (there was no need for that as we got offered the same food!). We were probably having dinner by 10:15pm quite late, but they were happy to arrange it. Any request was always received with a smile, a really solid hospitality team. Additionally, there is an adjacent games room. They have 3-4 communal tables in a lounge each one sitting 8-10 people. Breakfast is also served there. Internet works in the lounge, you will not get it at any other place in the property. There is a very nice pool just steps below the property which enjoys a full view of the surroundings. This is truly an enjoyable place if you want peace and quiet for a few days.

Our brief stay was a wonderful experience of the Portugal countryside on a large farm with rolling hills, lakes, a pool and other modern amenities while maintaining an exquisite, rustic and bucolic environment. The staff was extraordinarily friendly and inviting. We loved staying there.

We loved our stay at Herdade do Vau. The setting is beautiful and the staff are lovely. Only down point was the poor communication during the weeks leading up to our stay, kept having to chase them to confirm dinner, wine tasting and vineyard visit. We nearly cancelled our reservation because we didn't have confirmation that these could be booked, making it pointless to stay in a vineyard. They were only able to confirm dinner.
