Cerca do Sul

We stayed here one night on a walking holiday. Very welcoming and a lovely environment with some beautiful views of near by mountains. The room was a little on the small size but clean and fine for a night. Dinner was served around a communal table which turned out to be pleasant. There is a good size downstairs kitchen for tea, coffee etc which was not available in the room. Good solid breakfast too.

A wonderful stay in a beautiful hotel - very tastefully decorated with lots of little personal touches. After walking the Rota Vicentina we couldn't have found a better place to relax and ease our aching muscles, and we especially appreciated the swimming pool surrounded by gardens and farmland with a view of the mountains in the distance - so peaceful. We were so comfortable that we didn't even want to go out in the evening to eat so we enjoyed a fantastic dinner on the terrace looking out onto the sun setting on the horizon. Sandra did everything possible to make our stay as delightful as possible and really went out of her way to make us feel at home. And the breakfasts - my favourite meal - were superb. Thank you to you all. I'll be back!

Cerca do Sul is a delightful, little hotel with simple and clean rooms and beautiful outdoor spaces. The hotel is in a beautiful vineyard location and has delightful views. The pool and sitting area are lovely. It was awesome to be able to walk outside at night and see the stars!||||The food was also great. We were greeted with homemade sangria and a delectable homemade dinner that evening. In the morning, fresh breads, homemade jellies, and local honey were hits! ||||And, the wifi was strong!||||I will definitely stay here again when back in the area.

We came here with friends and what a pleasant surprise. The hotel is authentic with a boutique twist. Great products, beds, sheets, towels, soaps and the sophistication of a home. The breakfast is extensive and all home made, great bread and pastries - eggs from the chicken on the estate. Friendly staff, very clean. You are in the middle of the countryside, near the beach and feel instantly at peace with the energy and the environment. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to download and revive.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Cerca do Sul. We stayed for 9 nights and felt so rested, even by day one. The hotel truly is very tranquil. Its location, low lighting in the evenings and hammocks help create this ambience nicely. The hotel is cleaned to a very high standard, daily and the towels and linen were washed for us after four days. Beach/pool towels were available in addition to our bath towels, which was a pleasant surprise as we'd packed some with us. The staff - Sandra, Maria, Anna and Katia are all incredibly friendly, approachable and go above and beyond to meet any needs you may have. ||||Our vegan diet isn't always an easy one to meet on holiday, and there's often only one or two choices on a menu. At Cerca do Sul, the breakfast spread catered for our requirements like 'second to none'. Not only were there multiple options for us to choose from, but they would change each day to give us variety. We thought that this was a very special touch and made us feel very welcome. Further to this, the evening meals were the best we had in Portugal. The 'vegan' diet has almost become a universal cuisine of its own, but the staff's cooking meant that we didn't miss out on having a taste of Portugal, it was also excellent value for money. There are kitchen facilities, should you want to cook for yourselves - these were minimal, but we got by fine. ||||The local area is beautiful and Sandra, very kindly, directed us to some untouched coves, only really known by the locals. They were just off of the Fisherman's Trail, so it meant that we could trek to the bays (you will need suitable footwear for this). The sea was particularly cold, anywhere we went but it didn't stop us from (half) going in to cool ourselves down! ||||Thank you to all the lovely staff for a wonderful experience. We will be recommending you to everyone we know heading to Portugal.

Delightful Place! Superbly located, close to great beaches and awesome restaurants.|If you want to rest, this is the place to recharge.|Cristiana was a marvelous host! The pool is magnificent. The whole place breathes trabquility. By car you’re a few clicks (10min) from great spots. Highly Recommended!

My husband and I had a lovely stay here. Rooms are very comfortable. Fabulous breakfast and the best part was the lovely large terrace for breakfast and also a great space to use in the evening for a drink|Would definitely go back if we were in the area|

Sandra and her team do an amazing job. More then that, during our stay we became friends and felt like beeing at home!||||We hope to visit them soon again and you should do so too. Sandra made her place with a lot of love and they serve the best breakfast in Portugal :-D!||||Thanks again for the lovely time we had with you||Michiel, Sarah and Elin
