Vale do Manantio

Warmest reception and service, friendly and outstanding personnel, excellent cook and assistants preparing local cuisine. The elegant owner has an eye on your slightest wishes. Such a well kept secret...

Vale do Manantio is a perfect escape for relaxing. It is isolated and the location is very charming. It's really feels like you are lost the in middle of nowhere. It's nice ... if that's what you want. In my case ... it was. The staff is nice and friendly. The breakfast is just ok ... could have more variety... could have some fruit, yogurt or cakes all days and not just on the weekend. The pool area and some rooms are really great and make the stay worthwhile. On the downside the elements of hunt are really really really present on every corner. There are lots of dead stuffed animals and hunting photos all over the houses with is kind of creepy. It's really too much. This is why (for my taste) this is a good place to stay but could be great (if not the hunting theme).
