Quiet, relaxing, beautifully appointed with stunning artwork and objets d'art Herdade da Matinha is a top choice for an escape from mundane tribulations. The restaurant menu is limited but the food is excellent served in a relaxed but sophisticated atmosphere. I do wish the staff were better trained but the overall expedient was superb.

We went a little off-season and not many were there. The place is located in the countryside with lovely surroundings. The inital plan was to go into the little town of Cercal for dinner in elthe evening, but we changed our plans and stayed for dinner at Matinha instead. That was a good decision... the food was very nice and typical rustic traditional Portuguese food. Loved it. Everyone was super helpful and serviceminded. It was a great stay.

The property is very beautiful. It is quite rural and very charming. The decorations in the main building are so lively and comfortable. The original paintings by the owner are great. The whole staff is incredibly friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The food is wonderful. There is wonderful hiking right out the door.

Gem of a hotel - place is a converted farm at the end of a 3km dirt road. Central building with reception restaurant etc and various smaller buildings with the accommodation. The while place has a slightly hippy feel to it - but with comfort and good food. Very friendly and helpful staff. Public rooms are very welcoming - a variety of eclectically decorated lounges - some partially open which actually make you want to spend time there - lounging. Dinner was a fixed menu - very well executed. Breakfast was also very nice. Room was comfortable and a decent size. It is nice to see a properly lit hotel room with the lights in the correct places - i.e. the ceiling. A few condition issues - shower had not been properly sealed to plaster on the wall was in trouble and the shower itself could have done with a light. Somewhere I will definitely return to.

Very beautiful property with plenty of space to just relax, reading a book and enjoy the nature. The only sound that you will hear will be the sound of the birds. The downside it's the lack of choice for dinner since you have to stick with the whole menu.

This great hotel is perfect for spending time around Alentejo. If you want to go to the beach, do some hiking or just relax and enjoy the countryside, this is the perfect place! They also have an amazing dinner service which offers a different menu every night. Will definitely go back!

the place is very cheerful, everyone is friendly and the food is great. the shower runs too hot and cannot be adjusted to be warm. It’s either too hot or too cold or too little water. you get to see the horses being fed and trained every morning. the place is along a beautiful hiking trail.

The location in the country was beautiful. The rooms were not. Maybe we received a bad one but it was musty, stuffy, dark, and spidery. The air conditioning/fan thing don’t work to keep it from being too hot/stale yet if you opened the one door ( no window) all the bugs came in. Hotels.com said there was WiFi in the rooms ( a necessity when traveling without a phone ) but there was not). Thus we had to hang out in the common areas all night to get maps, driving directions , etc, which isn’t very relaxing. The common areas were really ok but really I would rather have a nice room.

Great staff and food. Comfortable, if a little quirky. Great place to chill out. Only downside is the long, long unmade road - very bumpy and very uncomfortable for nearly 2km. Room 22 is huge.

The hotel is very pretty in an idyllic country setting. Please note that you will drive a few km down a dirt road to access the property and it can be bumpy and at night possibly hard to navigate. They do have signs posted, however gps will try and route you the faster way which is on a road only accessible by 4x4. The property is visually very beautiful and colorful. Our one issue was thatbis was VERY loud in the hotel. We had a very large group who was partying until 3am and wandering in front of our room patio. Inside the common areas it was a loud any party atmosphere. We were told this was not normal. Lucky for us I guess. The restaurant was fine and the breakfast was nice. However on on of our nights we were the only couple staying there so the restaurant was closed. The common areas were much nicer than our room, which smelled musty and had not very many windows or light. Overall it is a nice place and you certainly do not overpay.

Wonderful place. However be careful using waze....it might lead to sandy tracks and it costs €150 to tow the car. Very helpful staff though

Nicely appointed hotel with lots of artistic flare in a very picturesque setting. Staff were friendly and accommodating and food was very good, including a great breakfast buffet that was varied and fresh. Easy to access the coast for beautiful beaches. Only complaint was noisy construction on an extension to the dining room, which disturbed what should have been a very peaceful environment.

Extremely overpriced for a smelly, undersized, and windowless room. I was frankly shocked when they showed me to my room. An overpowering musty smell greeted the nose upon entry, There was barely room for the double bed which was NOT the king bed advertised and for which I paid. There was no room to even lay out your suitcase unless it was on the bed. The hot water took forever to reach the bathroom. Complaints to the staff regarding the bed size resulted in them blaming Expedia. Completely unacceptable response! After seeing far superior accommodations across Portugal for far less money, I was extremely disappointed by what I got for this price. Meanwhile the staff seemed to think they were running some sort of special yoga spa, as we were greeted with blaring hindi chant music at the buffet breakfast that the owner felt inclined to sing along to with. It was turned up so loud that I had to repeat myself three times when I asked a question about the buffet.

Had a briilliant holiday, the hotel was nestled amounst trees and hills. Lovely caring staff, made welcome when we arrived. Very homely, very clean. Staff went out of their way to make sure we had a brilliant holiday. Plenty of activities there if you wish to join in. Hired a car, necessary to get about. However they would have picked us up from the airport if needed. Lovely walks nearby, again an offer to pick us up from our walk if we needed it. Very peaceful, soft music playing at mealtime. A tranquil place. Fabulous beaches nearby. We were given a list of local places to visit which we found very helpful.

We had fun relaxing at this family-friendly bed and breakfast. It's in the Alentejo countryside about two hours south of Lisbon and only 10 miles from beautiful beaches. The rooms are simple and comfortable. The inn is filled with bright artwork. They have a nice pool, a yoga studio, and horses. They offer a fixed menu for dinner every evening that was delicious. We also enjoyed a few restaurants in the local beach town, Vila Nova de Milfontes.

Our family of five enjoyed a three-night stay at Herdade da Matinha. After being in Lisbon for a few days, we wanted to relax in the country. Herdade is only two hours south of Lisbon but feels very remote. It's a laid-back, artsy, relaxing place that offers yoga, horse back riding, a good-sized pool, an orchard, and is only about a 15-minute drive to beautiful beaches. The dinners they offer on site are amazing. The receptionists Maria and Patricia went out of their way to make us feel very welcome and comfortable. They even arranged to do a load of laundry for us for free! The only negative is that the "family room" (room 2) that our children were in was damp and musty. Our other room (room 17) on the newer side was lovely. If you are looking for a peaceful country experience in Portugal, perhaps on your drive down to the Algarve, this place is a gem.
