Conversas de Alpendre

We spent three nights at Conversas de Alpendre and it was nothing short of spectacular! We were two couples and all four of us just loved everything about it. We did not want to leave. It was our first stop on a 3 week trip and it could not have been a more perfect beginning. We had different classes of rooms, but both were very comfortable and beautifully decorated. One had a hot top on the deck and the other was very spacious. The entire Conversas team was so welcoming and friendly. A special shout out to Bea who took such good care of us at the cocktail bar. We had reservations at the hotel for dinner the first night and at two other restaurants the other nights. We cancelled the other reservations and ate at the hotel all three nights. Amazing! The other highlight was breakfast. What a great offering of fresh and healthy food. All in all, just a perfect stay. We will be back.

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!!!
