My husband and I spent 3 weeks in Portugal. We were fortunate to have made advance reservations and spent a fabulous night at Herdade dos Grous. The property is gorgeous with a vineyard, horseback riding, a lake for canoeing and views, views views! It was a little off the beaten path and is made for peace, quiet and relaxation. The room was gorgeous. In the USA, a room like this would easily be $600 per night. It was considerably less. We had a tour of the winery. We partook in the full flight wine tasting. The wines, meat and cheese boards were delicious. So much so, it spoiled our appetite and had to eat a light dinner; which by the way was wonderful. We had olives, olive oil soaked, baked and salted bread (unbelievable!) and pork with asparagus rice. The menu looked fabulous but we just couldn’t pack any more food into us! Breakfast was a nice buffet with nuts, cereals, meats, cheeses, fruits, eggs, pastries, coffees and freshly squeezed juices. |The room was lovely that opened out to a terrace that overlooked the grand grounds. The beds were comfortable, the terry cloth robes luxurious and the bathroom large and beautiful. I cannot say enough about Herdade dos Grous. I would love to return!
