We stayed at the Sao Lourenco do Barrocal in November and it was the highlight of our trip. From the moment we arrived we were met with incredible concierge service to help plan our weekend and show us our incredible suite. We did a winemaking tour and class along with an olive oil making and class as well as Pilates and all three were great! I am blanking on the instructor names but each were incredibly knowledgeable and we felt spoiled each leg. The food in the restaurant was also incredible. The dinner was great, but the breakfast was equally as impressive. 10/10 would recccomend!

The most magical place.
We loved our stay at Barrocal, the staff was amazing, nothing is too much trouble, every detail has been thought of.
And to have just about every meal and most of the beverages produced on site, amazing.
Can’t recommend this property enough, will definitely be planning a return trip.

Just as you come onto the property, just outside the reception is a cobble stone path, where sets of chairs and tables are set up to watch the sunset and drink the wines produced at the nearby vineyard. That was my absolute favorite place to sit as we were celebrating my partner's birthday.

Our friends from New York were vegetarians and found loads of options on the farm to table menu on offer for breakfast and dinner.

It rained the last 3 days of our trip, cancelling our hot air balloon ride, but the concierge toggled quickly and offered us an array of options including an olive oil tasting. Our guide was a fount of knowledge. Thank you!

This place is all about the property. Rooms, staff, food are all great. We only stayed a night but are going to come back. I think 3 nights would be enough to feel adequately rested.

Excellent set-up; lovely room; good base for exploring some of the region and for walking. staff amazingly helpful and friendly. Local wines were enjoyable. Food was pleasant, and predominantly local and seasonal, and competently prepared, but not as interesting as most of the other meals we had on our trip.

Overall very good

It is important to say that we would like to return if we are able.
The Hotel must be seen and rated completely separately from the restaurant, because they are at very different levels in terms of service.
The Hotel and its surroundings are absolutely beautiful. there are many of the 5 star special touches and treats which one appreciates.
Rooms are large, bathrooms are large, rooms are spotlessly clean, the beds are very comfortable, the service right on arrival by car is impeccable.
Dinner was unfortunately poor in terms of service, also visibly experienced at other tables. The food itself was very good.
Breakfast was very good overall, but the small inconsistencies need to be dealt with.
I have already seen reviews which state that during breakfast, there was a lawn being mown directly in front of the outdoor restaurant. We also experienced this. The noise was not a major issue, but the petrol smell over breakfast is unwarranted. This can easily be cleared up by management instructing staff to wait for another hour or more before doing this type of work. We actually had the lawn mower and the strimmer going on at the same time. I found it fairly amusing given the 5 star rating. This noise and smell does not fit in with the relaxed atmosphere which one needs at these prices and in such an establishment.
A few adjustments and the prices are worth the stay

Do not stay anywhere else.

I would not recommend to stay at Sao Lourenco do Barrocal AT THE BEGINNING of your vacation because it will only ruin the rest of it.
Once you leave this place, the only thing you will regret is that you didn't stay longer and the only thing you will think of is when you will be able to go back.
This hotel is perfection from the moment you park your car on the parking until you leave.
EVERYTHING is perfect but here are a few highlight : Architecture is gorgeous, sunset by the hotel bar, quality of the guest, all nice and friendly, the amazing staff, all local people who love their region and what they do, the great spa, the delicious food at all the restaurants, the incredible huge pool, the bike rides on the property, the huge rooms with gorgeous views.
It is a 10 starts experience but it is all very simple and casual. Simple, rustic luxury.
Can't wait to come back !!

Slice of heaven

My wife and I had the most wonderful stay here. The impeccable service, the food quality that we experienced and the beautiful grounds make this place special. They have the cutest shop where we were able to get gifts and wine. The grounds are expansive where we enjoyed a wonderful bike ride. The nearby town of Monsaraz has a nice little town and impressive castle to visit. The spa services were excellent (per my wife). The stargazing at night from our patio was also quite enjoyable. This was quite a memorable getaway and 2 days here were not enough so we certainly will be back!

One of the best hotels we have ever stayed at

This hotel is amazing. Everything has been thought through, even down to leaving bookmarks by your bed for your books. The grounds are stunning, with rolling fields, vineyards and lawns covered with daisies. It is a perfect place to unwind. There is a real sense of calmness here - from peaceful walks to long bike rides or sipping gin and tonics in the bar. Once you arrive, you feel totally removed from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. The spa is also a must and staff throughout the hotel are lovely and very helpful. Our only regret is that we only booked for two nights and would have loved to stay for longer.

Perfect hotel in a gorgeous countryside location

I wanted to return the moment I stepped in the door of my farm room. Every detail in the room was perfect: the scent of the soap, the grand height of the ceilings, the softness of the sheets, the handmade rugs, the brick floor, the color scheme, the windows and doors, the view of the castle in the distance. And the grounds! The scent coming from the ground cover was sweeter than flowers; the pool was delightfully cool and clean; there were pomegranates to pick, walks to take, the sound of chocalhos (cowbells) to enjoy. I went to the gift shop five times over the course of three days because the goods were so much fun to look at and buy (e.g., the house olive oil). The restaurant was terrific and the waitstaff attentive and fun. The breakfast buffet was superb and abundant. There was a nice little gym and we saw an air balloon flying above. I can't wait to return.

I cannot express how pleased we were with Sao Lourenco do Barrocal From the moment we arrived there was a warm welcome at this expansive, breathtaking property. We had a spacious Farm Room with a view of the village of Monsaraz. Service from the entire staff was outstanding. I highly would recommend.

A relaxed stay in the countryside.

This was the perfect place to wind down for a couple of days during a month long trip. We loved the relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant was fabulous. The room was beautifully decorated, clean, spacious and with a patio on which to enjoy sampling some of their own wines, bought on site at very reasonable prices and which I found to be very good. Monsaraz is a short drive away with locally made artisan products available. The staff are friendly and efficient. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay there again.

Quiet Countryside Retreat

Unfortunately we did not get to enjoy the property to the fullest because the weather was not nice, but the grounds are beautiful and the setting is bucolic. Or room was very spacious and had a warm and welcoming feel. The breakfast is a tasty, diverse buffet with local breads and toppings. Everyone was very pleasant and helpful. There is a small exercise room in the spa which is nice but the beauty of the place is in the peacefulness of the location.

Stylish & friendly hotel in the heart of Portugal

A great hotel to relax and do nothing yet with plenty of activities and places to visit nearby if you wish. We enjoyed both ! I enjoyed a great Pilates class with Anna and although I didn't try the Spa it looked fabulous. We took advantage of the hotels free bikes and had a wonderful time cycling around the estate. We hired a boat around the Lake, visited Evora for the day and enjoyed a superb lunch at a neighbouring wine estate amongst other things. The rooms were very spacious, simply but stylishly furnished. The pool a great size and with a fabulous view. The staff very friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend.

Propriedade linda, serviço excepcional

Hotel incrível, com staff extremamente atencioso e atento a todos os detalhes possíveis. Do momento em que chegamos de carro ao hotel fomos muito bem recepcionados e nota-se de imediato o preparo da equipe para oferecer um serviço de extrema qualidade. Check-in desconstruído, com um drink de boas vindas e canapés servidos no bar o lado da recepção enquanto escaneiam seus documentos e fazem a parte burocrática. Oferta de atividades extras (pagas à parte em sua maioria ) variada. Quarto de extremo bom gosto, clean, confortável e espaçoso. Quartos do monte com excelente vista de Monsaraz. Almoço e jantar no restaurante do hotel com comida muito boa, e cardápios diferentes, o que achei ótimo para variar mesmo que indo ao um mesmo local. Sempre uma atenção impecável de todos durante as refeições. Café da manhã com opções de qualidade, e pratos quentes à la carte muito bons. Espero voltar em breve com um clima adequado para ir à piscina do hotel. Adoramos!!
