Rio de Moinhos Hotel Accommodation

"The place is an old ducal palace like a posada but more reasonable price. I wondered around the gardens and pool area, well kept. Lots of other services I did not partake in. Good secure parking, pleasant sitting area near the bar with a very good painting of bulls . Breakfast was good. Only complaint was that the season changed the air conditioning to winter although the outside temperature was near 30, and the window could not be opened , so the room was quite warm for sleeping, "

"Great installations, vibe and ambiance of rural Alentejo with chic facilities. Courteous staff. Highly recommend for a two night stay in a calm and tranquil haven. "

"We loved our stay at Octant hotel. It was a relaxing time away from the busyness of a city. We stayed at a villa and loved the private pool. We also loved all the walking trails and got to see a lot of stars at night on the trails. The hotel staff was wonderful and the property was amazing. The hotel food was also good for breakfast and dinner. "

"Did not have breakfast this time as worked out too expensive but many places round the area for coffee and toast"

"We booked our stay for a couple of nights, and upon arrival it took us a while to locate the entrance as it wasn't very clear. As we signed in at the reception, we were told that the hotel was under a 'soft opening', that meant some of the services weren't working a 100% and that me might find a couple issues, which we hadn't been previously informed of when we made the reservation. It was a nice place altogether though, with a nicely decorated apartment (albeit with a relatively outdated and not very clean bathroom), a good pool, but the breakfast could be better. Fantastic view from the pool, but there is a lot of construction still underway around the development, the noise was quite disruptive, not great to say the least. It would be interesting to come back after all of these details are sorted, construction finished, etc, to see if this hotel is really worth it."

"Great place near to the centre. Parking nearby though not at the place which was not made clear in advert. Room lovely. bed very comfortable with excellent mattress. Great place to stay for one night stop over. "
