Conversas de Alpendre

A truly magnificent experience away from the hustle and bustle of tourist areas. We stayed in the Warehouse Suite which was decorated superbly, nice and secluded and 30 seconds from the main site. With only 15 rooms/suites this truly is a getaway that will not be forgotten. The staff are attentive and beyond helpful, taxis, boat trips, dinner… everything is a well deserved 5 stars. Breakfast is fabulous with such an amazing array of treats served to you in the sunshine overlooking the estate. The dinner experience is equally as fantastic, no menu just choose your protein (ie fish, meat etc) and you are served a surprise meal. Highly recommended. We will not hesitate in returning Thank you Dan and Jess

We've just finished a three day, two night mini break here and couldn't have been happier with our choice of hotel. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel extremely welcome and all staff were very friendly and happy to help whenever needed. The hotel is small and intimate so at no point do you feel it is busy and relaxation is very easy, whether it be around the pool, by your room or in the garden areas. The attention to detail is fantastic both in room and in the shared areas and it was interesting to hear from Marta (owner) how they continually look to improve year on year. We stayed in the No Stress room which had its own terrace and jacuzzi. The room was very clean and comfortable with some lovely homely touches. The food was exceptional. Breakfast each day included local breads, cheeses, meats, yoghurt, homemade granola, honey, homemade jam, fresh juices, a choice of eggs, pancakes. All delicious. We ate from the all day snack menu for lunch at various times, with our choices being sharing platters, burgers, fish and chips, and again, all of a very high standard. Both nights we ate the surprise set menu, a three course delight of local flavours where you just choose your main protein and identify any allergies or dislikes beforehand. More local breads along with olive oil for dipping and marinated olives meant we were satisfyingly stuffed at the end. The drinks choices were very good and we enjoyed local beer, wine and well made cocktails, all for very reasonable prices. There is an outdoor bar where you can sit on seats or swings whilst enjoying your tipple of choice and the views down towards the coast. We spent most of our time relaxing on-site, but did make use of the transfer service to make the 5 minute journey to Fabrica to take in the incredible beach for a few hours. We can't recommend Conversas de Alpendre highly enough. We hope to be back with our children / family / friends at some point in the future! A huge thank you to all of the team for an unforgettable stay.

The welcome, the friendliness of the staff, the kindness to our daughter, the super well decorated rooms, the calm, the space of the garden... What tranquility! We particularly appreciated the food served on site and above all, the breakfast: an experiment! The swimming pool is heated, a little difficult to enter despite everything but what a pleasure once inside. One and only recommendation : go there! & thanks to Conversas De Appendre :)

Words fail to describe what makes this place so magical. It's a vibe you feel upon check in. Super relaxing stay located on exquisite grounds. Similar to a Relaix Chateau property without the over fussy feel. More friendly but every bit as detailed about our care. The staff has endless patience, well appointed rooms with candles that are lit at dusk to twinkle welcome you back to your room after an evening, a very talented farm-to-table oriented menu showcasing local delights that all added up for a perfect stay while we attended a spectacular wedding nearby. We stayed in the room No Stress which has an amazing view of the orchards, and the bluest ocean beyond. Simply magical any time of day. It also features a hot tub in the patio area. but it wasn't that private since guests using the covered lanai pool area could easily see into our patio area and into our room when the door was open. The room is a little small with the bathroom and shower snuggly fit. But it didn't dampen our experience...we will simply try a larger room when we return! We didn't want to leave! Til next time...... obrigada!!!

We stayed at Conversas de Alpendre for a week in April 2022. It truely was the most magical place we stayed at in a very long time. Of course, the location is beautiful and quiet, the breakfast and dinner delicious and the room carefully decorated and meticulously clean. However, that was not what made the biggest difference. The most wonderful was the staff. All of them are taking hospitality to a next level. They gave you such a genuine and warm welcome and we only really realised then how strongly this contributed to the best holiday feeling ever. Thank you so much to Marta and her entire team! We will definitly be back.

We have had the most magical week staying with Marta and her wonderful staff. Lain back chic with beautiful ever-changing breakfasts. We stayed in ‘No Pressure’ which was a perfect room for us. The staff helped with our restaurant bookings and gave advice on things to do in the local area. Can’t recommend this hotel highly enough.

Probably one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed in. Everything was amazing from the moment we arrived, such a warm welcome and explanation of the hotel and its history. Our room was lovely (superior suite by the pool) and very spacious, breakfast incredible and they organised a great massage for me. Staff so friendly and always willing to help in whatever way they can. We ate there one night and that was good, although a little pricey compared to other meals in the area. Only downside is that you need a car to get there and get to any restaurants or beaches but there are plenty of options within a short drive. Would 100% recommend and hope we can go back one day!

We stayed for 8 nights and had the most wonderful family holiday. The family apartment is a brilliant layout for a family of 4 and the hotel is well equipped for children with cots, highchairs and childrens dinner each night. The food is outstanding, we loved the surprise menu each night and the delicious lunch by the pool. All the staff were amazing and so friendly. Housekeeping was the most thorough I have seen in any hotel! We loved it- thank you for a fantastic holiday

Um dos sítios mais acolhedores, elegantes e simpáticos onde estivemos. O espaço é grande e tem vários locais para estar em sossego. A piscina é salgada e aquecida, o que permite utilização todo o ano. O jardim é espaçoso e bem cuidado. Quartos originais e funcionais. Detalhes muito agradáveis. Pequeno almoço maravilhoso. Pessoas todas elas muito simpáticas e prestáveis. Voltaremos.
