Pestana Quinta do Arco Nature & Rose Garden Hotel

Great hotel with a large very well-taken-care-of territory, charming houses, very quiet. We enjoyed walk to the Rosarium even it wasn't the season for roses. We liked everything about our stay and wish we had more time to use the pool, stay on the terrace etc. As it was chilly in the evening, we were happy to see a small fireplace in the house and prepared wood for making fire (in addition to the electric heater that was provided), but unfortunately we couldn't enjoy the fire, as the wood was extremely tough and wouldn't burn. Breakfast included in the rate was served in the restaurant nearby and had everything needed including hot items, eggs etc

Our staying in Pestana was lovely. The garden and the whole complex is outstanding. The amount of plants and views wherever you looked were absolutely beautiful. The bungalow was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. It was quiet and private. You can use the common swimming pool (there are two of them) - both nicely maintained. The staff was very helpful and nice. Breakfasts are good - many options to choose. Nearby is the local shop and view point - 5mins away by foot. I strongly reccomed staying here if you look for a quiet, slow place with nature around :)

The hotel is set in a beautiful location and the grounds of the hotel are well presented with lots of plants and flowers. Plenty of car parking spaces too. Staff are very helpful and when we didn't like our first accommodation they arranged for us to be moved to a different accommodation within the hotel.

The place is very nice to stay during summer or whenever it is warm outside. I loved the fact that there are separate cottages and you don't have the noise from neighbors. And the greenery and plants around is awesome. The hammock and the space outside the small house is also nice and the fact you have also games around you can plan if it's warm outside. End of November is a bit tricky. The breakfast was nice and plenty. It is a 2-3 minutes walk until the restaurant where breakfast is served but that is OK.

The villa we stayed at was wonderful, it has a hammock outside from which you can see the garden that is filled with all sorts of gorgeous flowers during the day and stars during the night. The pool and rose garden are definitely worth visiting. The staff was very kind and helpful, we were really impressed with the atmosphere and the people. I had seen a couple pictures of the place before visiting but the experience exceeded expectations.
