A wonderful location off the beaten track while still being 10 minutes from Tavira and 15 minutes from beautiful beaches. Peace and quiet in the hills with a lovely swimming pool and hosts who go out of their way to help you. The excellent restaurant means that you don't need to go into town and a nice meal on the...

Food was not good. We ate there the six nights we were staying at the hotel which was a shame really, it was too far to drive at night down to Tavira so we were stuck with a rather rustic barren area with poor seating and inattentive, slow service. "The best steak in the world" was anything but, Jorge's secret... More

Yes, its a nice "away from it all" location. The staff is very nice. Breakfast is good. But... 4 of the rooms are 1km from the main building, in a location with notjing else other than rooms and a parking lot. Its 1km on a windy narrow road without side walks. This means driving back and forth for breakfast, to... More

Firstly the location is fantastic. A few km off the beaten track in lovely rolling hills. The hotel serves dinner in the evening on a veranda with a direct view to the hill opposite, which is really nice. We had a room in the annexe 700m up the hill (see other reviews), but we were aware of this so it... More

The main building is exactly as described - idyllic. The hospitality is excellent and the food lovely. However the annex is, as another correspondent has reviewed, quite a distance away and, as such, sure to disappoint when compared to the main building which is where you first set foot. You must be certain of your booking as we did not... More

When we arrived, we found the main hotel with facilities located some distance (it seemed further than 700 m in the car but i did not measure it) from the building containing superior accommodation. Yes, this is mentioned in the description but they are separated by an unlit, steep. twisting road, without pavement which we didn't fancy negotiating in the... More

From the moment we arrived at Herdade da Corte, a serene happiness came over me and I left all my worries back in London. After a surprisingly twisty turny road we arrived at what felt like a secret hideaway up in the hills in this pretty part of Portugal. The location is great, the pool is beautiful and was glistening... More

All the positive reviews given here are absolutely correct. We had a blast and would go back any time. Adriana's hospitality and attentiveness were outstanding. If one is looking for a quiet vacation, this is the place to go. The town Tavira is about 15 kilometers away and it is good to rent a car if one is planning on... More

Lovely wild setting . Only the sound of the birds when you float in the blue pool. Charming hosts. Lovely views. Dinner moderately good. Breakfast with fresh fruit eggs and delicious orange juice . Will return and recommend. Timeless and peaceful More
