The space is isolated and peaceful. Everything about the restaurant, the meals, the staff, is absolutely perfect.
The main pool is desperately lacking proper shade to spend the day. The reception staff is helpful and you can WhatsApp them directly, which is very convenient. However, there is an odd light arrogance at reception whenever questions are asked or issues are shared.

The property is very beautiful. It is quite rural and very charming. The decorations in the main building are so lively and comfortable. The original paintings by the owner are great. The whole staff is incredibly friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The food is wonderful. There is wonderful hiking right out the door.

Quiet, relaxing, beautifully appointed with stunning artwork and objets d'art Herdade da Matinha is a top choice for an escape from mundane tribulations. The restaurant menu is limited but the food is excellent served in a relaxed but sophisticated atmosphere. I do wish the staff were better trained but the overall expedient was superb.

Cozy stay with great atmosphere and service
We went a little off-season and not many were there. The place is located in the countryside with lovely surroundings.
The inital plan was to go into the little town of Cercal for dinner in elthe evening, but we changed our plans and stayed for dinner at Matinha instead. That was a good decision... the food was very nice and typical rustic traditional Portuguese food. Loved it.
Everyone was super helpful and serviceminded.
It was a great stay.

Razoável
O hotel é muito bonito e aconchegante, contudo, a iluminação noturna é insuficiente, o jantar é menu fechado e não servem nenhum outro prato existente no cardápio.
O problema é que o hotel fica há 5km de qualquer comércio, o que te obriga a aceiatr o menu oferecido, ou ficar com fome.
A arrumação do quarto também não corresponde a um hotel 4 estrelas.
Além disso, eu fiz a reserva indicando que queria pagar no hotel, pois pagaria em dinheiro, e quando fui fazer o checkout, eles ja haviam debitado o valor do meu cartão, sem a minha autorização.

Relaxed haven
Gem of a hotel - place is a converted farm at the end of a 3km dirt road. Central building with reception restaurant etc and various smaller buildings with the accommodation.
The while place has a slightly hippy feel to it - but with comfort and good food. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Public rooms are very welcoming - a variety of eclectically decorated lounges - some partially open which actually make you want to spend time there - lounging.
Dinner was a fixed menu - very well executed. Breakfast was also very nice.
Room was comfortable and a decent size. It is nice to see a properly lit hotel room with the lights in the correct places - i.e. the ceiling. A few condition issues - shower had not been properly sealed to plaster on the wall was in trouble and the shower itself could have done with a light.
Somewhere I will definitely return to.

Very beautiful property with plenty of space to just relax, reading a book and enjoy the nature. The only sound that you will hear will be the sound of the birds.
The downside it's the lack of choice for dinner since you have to stick with the whole menu.

Herdade super acolhedora e com uma decoração fantástica . Todos os espaços muito confortáveis o que nos faz sentir em casa. Serviço óptimo, todos muito prestáveis e com atendimento personalizado por parte do dono da herdade que nos deu dicas boas para fazer um passeio pelo campo.
Pequeno-almoço óptimo.
Quartos familiares com capacidade para 3 crianças, o que muitas vezes é difícil de encontrar.
Resumindo, muito bom!!!!

Ideal para famílias e casais.
Espaço maravilhoso com ambiente rustico e cheio de classe. A comida é maravilhosa e têm comida apta para bebés. Ao almoço não servem refeições, apenas tostas. A rede wifi é fraca e não chega ao quartos. O passeio a cavalo é espetacular e não devem perder. A simpatia do staff contagia. Recomendo vivamente esta experiência.
