- "Beautiful property with the most amazing decor. All the details were well thought through. Top comfort beds and linen, beautiful accommodations, fantastic common areas, great staff. There are not enough superlatives to describe São Lourenço do Barrocal. On a one to ten scale, they would be eleven!" - "Incredible staff. Beautiful property." - "Architecture and hospitality and serene atmosphere" - "Everything! It was magical." - "I really loved my stay here. Very relaxing, the house was simply decorated, rustic, but to a high standard. Everything thought of, water, fruit and snacks all included. The pool area was really great. Then visited the winery and had a tasting. Learnt a lot about the locality."

- "Amazing property with great staff in a perfect spot to relax" - "Very pretty , clean , just little cold at the time of the year we went." - "The property had well decoration, cozy & peacefull" - "Despite some language barriers, communication with staff was achieved and able to make ourselves understood. This would probably not be a problem when the hotel is busier and more staff are present (only one in the evening and morning). Evening meal and breakfast were both excellent in very pleasant surroundings, and would be even better during the summer as could be outside. Location is very convenient for Monsaraz (as long as you have a car). Room was spacious, with good shower room, etc."
