Corticadas de Lavre accommodation from NZ$249

Amazing experience! Every detail was beautifully designed. Attentive staff. Amazing food.

We stayed at Albertina's house for 8 days in the middle of a very hot spell in August. The house is beautiful and absolutely immaculately clean. The swimming pool is great and grounds are huge -you have total privacy and quiet for your stay. If you are looking for a place to chill and relax this is it! Most importantly for this stay there was amazing air conditioning in all bedrooms and the living room which meant we were very comfortable even on the day it reached 43 C outside! Albertina is very caring and attentive host. She greeted us warmly and sent regular texts to insure everything was okay. When I was having problems understanding a couple of things the local housekeeper came up right away to help out which was great! We wanted to totally switch of and decided to go without a car as the village is a five minute walk away and we had bikes at our disposal to explore. We also used the services of two local taxi drivers recommended by Albertina both of whom were excellent. The shop has one little supermarket which had daily deliveries and there are bakers and fishsellers who can call at the house. If you want to explore Ribatejo though you will want a car as this is a very rural area. Thank you so much for our very relaxing stay! We all enjoyed it so much and felt refreshed.

The Sleep and Nature hotel is absolutely fantastic! It is so tranquil and comfortable. The room was spacious and light. The pool area is lovely. Breakfast is excellent. The restaurant is really nice - the food and wine are delicious and the view is beautiful. Highly recommend!
