We (4 adults) had a lovely stay herein July 2025. The hotel was not very crowded during the week. There was plenty of space at the lovely, clean pool overlooking the lake. The staff was friendly, and was even able to arrange a pack breakfast for us when we had a early excursion. The regular breakfast spread was wonderful, with hot options, loads of fresh fruit, and many homemade cakes and pastries. We ate at the restaurant both nights we stayed. The food was very good, if a little inconsistent from night to night. We loved the location in the countryside--it was very peaceful and quiet. There was almost no activity on the lake, so it was serene. There is little nearby light, so the stars were visible. We didn't get a chance to use the spa or the courts.

A kettle or coffee maker in the room would be a nice improvement. The pool area is a bit worn, with many of the pool tiles falling off. It didn't impact our ability to enjoy it though.

This is a beautifully designed, exceptionally maintained and stylish property in the midst of 'dark skies' and serene natural beauty. Despite the modern aesthetic, it also felt authentic, unpretentious and sits well in its surroundings. Staff were attentive, in an unfussy and intuitive way. The restaurant menu is focussed, locally inspired, and the chef and team are first rate. I was travelling with my young son and there were other families there; we felt very comfortable and welcome.

Couldn't fault it.

Very clean and quiet, great breakfast and staff were fantastic. Rooms were clean and felt very high end. The location is fantastic - it feels secluded and overlooks a beautiful lake, but you're near enough to head into town for dinner by foot (around 20 mins walk). Great service around the pool area. Overall a fantastic hotel and I'll be back with the family.

The rental bikes on the property are very bad and need replacing. Considering it's quite a cycle into town, I would say well-kept electric bikes would be a massive plus. The ones there are rusty with flat tires.

really peaceful, view of the two castles and the rive guidiana , surrounded by lake and river it was truly stunning. Food excellent, staff and room all good. Pool and wellness centre good, for me it just lacked a fitness area. But in all a great place to stay and recharge

I wish it had a gym

Staff were very nice. My only problem was that we went for a Valentine get away and as it is advertised as a Spa we choose it, but there was no Massuse on duty, and the jacuzzi was out of order. But will return to try their outdoor pool when the weather permits because view was lovely.

Herdade dos Delgados is a wonderful property located in one of the most beautiful regions of Portugal and on the shores of the Alqueva artificial lake. The building itself is (or looks) quite new, with spacious, well-appointed bedrooms, a large swimming pool, a very good restaurant and gorgeous views of Monsaraz (in the distance) and Mourão. Staff were very professional and friendly (especially Marcos, our masseur) and the food was delicious and creative.

There isn't much we could find fault with, but I would recommend more indoors activities, in case the weather is bad: this is very much a place to spend time outdoors, either enjoying the pool or exploring the region, but when it rains there is little to do. Perhaps wine tastings, or organized visits to local attractions would be an option...

Location, friendly staff, food and accommodation around the food. Delicious Breakfast!

Restaurant and bar service. Most of the times the servers did not give me a napkin among other things. Devaluing lunch and dinner experience.

A great place with an excellent view and a great restaurant. Staff was very helpful. Bikes free for use, great padel court

Rooms could use an upgrade. But all was clean and well furnished

We go often to this place. It is very quiet, with magnificent views of Alqueva,. We also enjoy fantastic sunrises and sunset. The breakfast is very good. Let me add that I am very pick regarding breakfast, since it is my preferable meal of the day. It is my 5th stay over there and breakfast has always been excellent. Fresh fruit, squeezed orange juice, good homemade pastry, etc.

The breakfast was really GOOD! And we had dinner there and it amazingly cooked and presented. The room was tremendously comfortable, with an insanely gorgeous view over the artificial lake.

At night, due to water proximity, mosquitos were plenty and highly attracted to light sources. They could be a nuisance... But nothing that a insect repellent would not solve.
