Beautiful but lacking
The hotel itself is beautiful, fantastic views, gardens and room etc. However, it is lacking a lot in terms bar/restaurant facilities, there are no options for poolside drinks or snacks and we were encouraged to go out for dinner rather than dine at the hotel. We had booked this for a few nights because it was advertised as a spa hotel but when we asked about the treatments we were recommended to go to the nearby golf and spa resort instead.

Great hotel deserving of its five-star rating
Great hotel, we had a fantastic stay although some of the services were limited due to the pandemic, the hotel was fantastic with great connectivity and a great environment, very comfortable bedrooms and deserving of its five-star rating. Only negative- we found the bathroom a bit restrictive and not quite up to standard, specifically the shower and bath.

A beautiful, sparkling clean secluded zen resort with views of the surrounding landscape. Its a beautiful, secure property with gardens to walk around, outdoor seating areas, indoor pool/sauna and spacious, well-appointed rooms. There is a parking lot but it is a walk from the hotel entrance, up a small hill. The breakfast was adequate with lots to choose from and the staff was helpful. I would highly recommend this resort!

Tranquility at its best.
This place is perfect for anyone that wants a real escape to peace and quiet. It was beautiful, quiet private and tranquil. The staff were all lovely, it was clean and very well kept. The breakfast was plentiful and fresh. We only ate one evening meal which although was nice was very small portions. We will definitely be back when we need to disconnect completely. Recommended room 15 for total privacy, well worth the upgrade cost.

Lovely large bedrooms with fantastic views. Delicious breakfast options . Quiet, private, peaceful location despite being short distance to Luz (not comfortably walkable though) lovely indoor pool with luxurious outdoor pool and outdoor ‘beds’ . Distinct lack of facilities in the room ... had to pay extra for milk to go in the tea they provided in the room (very bizarre) some staff lacked warmth and despite the hotel being beautifully designed it lacks atmosphere, whilst there is a honesty bar there the absence of an actual bar means there is no inclination to sit in the lobby for a drink. I'm sure the food would have been amazing as from breakfast clearly the chef is very talented but chose not to have dinner owingto lack of atmosphere

Excessivement cher pour ce qu'il en est...
Chambre n°6 "Supérieure" (notez les guillemets) jouxtant la cuisine, et donnant sur la salle de restaurant. Du bruit en permanence : casseroles, portes qui claques, cuisiniers qui crient... Malgré un hôtel désertique en cette fin de saison et cette période de COVID, on nous a dit que les autres chambres supérieures (bien plus chouettes selon les photos) étaient occupées. On a croisé un seul autre couple pendant tout le séjour... La literie est horrible (le matelas est creusé...) Le repas du soir inabordable si on désire y manger plusieurs fois : 50 € / personne (hors boisson), avec un choix très limité, du coup le restaurant est vide... On nous a dit que le chef visait l'étoile, commencez donc déjà par vous préoccuper de vos hôtes... L'hôtel ne possède pas de bar, juste un service de chambre. Les seuls points positifs du séjour : le petit déjeuner excellent et copieux, la gentillesse de la réceptionniste de nuit et du serveur du matin.

Fantástico... PERO...
Todo fenomenal, el lugar es una gozada. La única pena fue que nos atendieron deficientemente al servir desayunos y comidas. Una de las camareras fue encantadora, la otra no, entiendo que la situación es complicada pero en un hotel de 5 estrellas, con esos precios, no puedes permitirle errores graves de cara al cliente. En general es un sitio fantástico que recomendaría sin duda, la pena es irte con regular sabor de boca por una actitud poco amable de la persona que nos atendió y sin desayunar por la larga espera. Los grandes sitios se forman cuidando pequeños detalles

Poor experience
We are very surprised this hotel was a five stars, considering the poor service and outdated design. - no answer at the gate, stuck in front of the door until a car left the hotel - parking very far from the reception and nobody to help with luggage - nobody at the reception in order to do the check-in; no answer when calling the number from the website; we had to walk around the hotel to find someone next to the kitchen - very cold staff; when asked for recommendations we were simply given a 200-page book to find beaches and hikes in the area by ourselves - unlike other hotels dealing with Covid-19, who replace buffet style breakfasts by asking you in advance what you would like to eat, they simply give you a plate of everything, which is a terrible waste of food. We were not told that we could order special items so someone came to tell us because he was surprised we ate nothing. Staff long to bring drinks or bread, making the overall breakfast experience not very pleasant - check out was the same struggle with no one at the reception Overall, despite a very beautiful park, the experience was terribly disappointing. For the price paid, the facilities are getting old (interior design, pool etc.) and the service is definitely not five stars. Would not recommend.

Top Hotel
Wir waren eine Woche im Vila Valverde Design und Country Hotel. Waren in Room Nr.9 untergebracht und mit unserem Zimmer zu 100% zufrieden. Kaffee-/Teekocher, Kühlschrank, ein geräumiges Bad mit Wanne und Bidet, ein großes bequemes Kingsizebett und eine leise laufende AC machten uns den Aufenthalt sehr angenehm. Von unserem Zimmer hatten wir Zugang zur großen möblierten Sonnenterrasse. Das inklusive Frühstück war aufgrund der geringen Zimmerzahl schon fast familiär. Man bedient sich am gut ausgestatteten Büfett. Außerdem kümmern sich mehrere Angestellte unauffällig und schnell um Sonderwünsche. Tagsüber waren wir immer an den Stränden der Umgebung. Die nachmittägliche Rückkehr war dann immer wie "nach Hause kommen". Können dieses Hotel zu 100% weiterempfehlen.

Fantastiskt hotell
Vi stannade i 7 dagar och hade en fantastisk vistelse. Kocken lagade väldigt bra mat så det var skönt att ha det dom gånger vi inte gick ut. Hotellet var lungt och det fanns alltid en cabana ledig eller solstol vid poolen/ministranden. Att ligga och kolla ut över den stora trädgården och den omkringliggande naturen var verkligen magiskt. Rekommenderar verkligen hotellet!

Nydelig hotell
Vi hadde en ukes opphold på Vila Valverde. Det var helt fantastisk! Servicen er utrolig bra, alle som jobber på hotellet er utrolig hyggelige. Vi var midt på vintere så det var for kaldt å bruke utendørsbassenget, men de har et nydelig innendørsbasseng, og det var veldig fint å sitte på terrassen utenfor hotellrommet og slappe av. Leiebil er essensielt her, men det kan hotellet hjelpe deg med å booke. Hagen rundt hotellet er grunn nok til å besøke hotellet. Helt nydelig, med yrende fugleliv.
