São Lourenço Guest House

A proper luxurious house. Spottlessly clean and with all necessary amenities. Amazing view from the terrace and the pool area. Highly recommended!

L'emplacement et la vue. une maison et des chambres neuves, propres. Une salle de billard et une piscine très sympas. Une très belle vue. Tranquille.

L'arrivée sans personne qui vous accueille. On nous envoie des codes par Whatsapp dans l'après midi du voyage alors qu'on n'est pas connecté à internet et personne ne répond au téléphone... Par d'autres clients, on a fini par trouver un gardien qui ne parle que le portugais ! Heureusement on a fini par se comprendre !

Tout est neuf ou presque, super équipement ! Salle de sport, jacuzzi , billard, sauna, piscine. Rien à dire si ce n’est que nous nous en sommes pas servis, vu les randonnées à faire, pas le temps pour le reste.

Un bémol sur les places de stationnement des véhicules.

The villa itself is wonderful. The pool, although cold, is clean and lovely, the hot tub and sauna facilities are great, and the view is incredible. The beds were supremely comfortable.

The groundskeeper and the owner are WEIRD. At first we understood what was going on with other reviews but it became increasingly strange. When you arrive you are greeted by a faceless message giving you some basic information such as how to enter and get the keys etc. In this message it states that you need to book the sauna ahead of time (so the groundskeeper can heat it up), and shows you how to use the hot tub. When we actually got around to using the hot tub, the groundskeeper came up to us after a bit and turned the hot tub off, translated a message saying we cannot just use it we must book it in advance (no such information was ever given to us), and that the owner had been watching us on the CCTV for 30 minutes and that it was apparently a "bad look" that we were using it without permission (that we were never told we needed). All of this was well within normal hours for the facilities - around 17:30. Between just telling us things that are made up and watching us on the CCTV, this place never really felt relaxing. There is definitely the feeling of being watched, and coddled like children who cannot do anything without permission from the absent owner. I would not return.
