Quinta Dos Machados Countryside Hotel & Spa

We had our wedding there and had a lovely experience. Very nice location, very comfy rooms and a great service. Would recommend everyone to have your wedding there ;) We could check in at the correct time, everything for our wedding was perfectly managed by Monica! And we could stay longer at the swimming pool the day after with our guests.

Wow! What a gem. Such peace and tranquillity and great hospitality. The staff was super kind. They welcomed us and our little dog with so much joy. Would absolutely recommend staying here! We will be recommending this place to friends and family for sure.

Lovely venue. Went for a wedding and was picture perfect. Owner and manager and her daughter were lovely and very welcoming. Had a few incidents and they were immediately rectified. PS. Monica....Your dad was correct....Its a boy!

Terrible! As Americans traveling abroad for a wedding, we were completely blindsided when we checked out. They took over $500 from us snd even though we tried to argue, they would not budge! The food was mediocre at best snd there was no spa and the pool was dirty! Spend your $$ at a Marriott- this place sucks! Stay away!!

We came for my son's wedding, held at a sister property. Quinta Casa dos Reguengos. The location was beautiful and the service impeccable. The staff should open a hospitality school because they were so over and above all our expectations. The restaurant was also cozy and the food and service delicious. We can't wait to return.

Stayed at this country- side hotel for 2 nights. 1 Good value 2 Up- graded us to rooms with a balcony nearer the breakfast area 3 Staff were very helpful. A special thank you to a young man who served our group, spoke good English… We know as he told us he got 19/20 in an English test! This gentleman was attentive and always had a smile. Thank you! 4 Two lunches and breakfast were good! Generous portions, tasty and beautiful presentation! Breakfast was good but it would have been better if we hadn’t had to ask for more fruit, cheese or scrambled eggs to be laid out. 5 Pool area pleasant and if you ask at reception, you can get towels. 6 Beds small but very comfortable 7 Towels, sheets, pillows all seemed new, white and fresh. All bathroom products were lovely too. 8 Setting in a wooded area was very pretty! But The bedrooms in this relatively new block were small! Very small! So much so I got dressed and used the small bathroom and then my husband did. No walking around space, very little available in terms of storage space- no draws to place clothes in , no hangers for the little wardrobe, no shelves to place toiletries, very frustrating! Finally, this is a wedding venue where guests are dressing for a special occasion. We need a full length mirror in the bedroom, a mirror in the bedroom to enable people to put their makeup on . The bathroom was dark: better lighting and once again another mirror for shaving, make up for close up work. I have been on cruises and this hotel needs to look at how designers maximise storage space in the minimum of space. Thank goodness there was air conditioning though! Overall good value stay . But I wouldn’t like to stay more than one to two nights.

Delightful & super helpful staff. Great breakfast included. Some rooms larger than others as described online. Attended a wedding reception & their outdoors venue. The pool was clean, refreshing and lots of lounge chairs. Some flies due to unusually warm fall. Overall this time of year (mid October) seems to be a good time of year as summer heat is gone. And so far no rain - maybe check the annual weather summaries ahead of time for your specific destination.

I cannot fault the Quinta dos Machados at all. We had the most incredible stay and it exceeded our expectations. The food in the restaurant was incredible, we were B&B but paid for multiple lunches and dinners throughout our stay and all were incredible and very reasonably priced we were very surprised. The chef was amazing! We attended for a family wedding at a local villa BUT we had a large family party at the Machados and the food was incredible both for a huge group (over 40) and when dining as a small group (2-5). Anna & Marcus in the restaurant are an absolute credit to the Machados and were the most helpful, kind and professional team members. Always engaging with us and the kids and we’re helpful with choosing things on the menu and translating where requires. I also used the spa facilities and cannot recommend Eduarda the masseuse enough! She was incredible - one of the best massages I have had. She was very kind and just had a beautiful energy about her. All in all, you can tell we really enjoyed it and had a great stay. If I really had to pick at anything, the pool was freezing but that’s no one’s fault and very much time of year we went so that’s fine and we still went in for swimming regardless as the pool was lovely (just cold) and I would love to see more choice of eggs for breakfast. They offered scrambled eggs which were always cooked well but maybe also having hard boiled or fried eggs as options too would be great - but the breakfast spread as a whole was fab! Everywhere is constantly cleaned and all the staff were friendly and kind. I also found it very accessible as I had a stroller and was able to access everywhere with no trouble and they had a lift which was surprising for a small hotel that hasn’t actually got many floors (just 2 - ground and first) We loved it so much we are considering an exclusive hire for a large family event next year. Cannot wait to be back! Thank you having us Jess, Isabella & baby Theo x
