Torre de Palma Wine Hotel, Monforte, a Member of Design Hotels

We had the most wonderful experience at Torre de Palma. The property is beautiful, the rooms luxurious and the staff incredible. From the moment we checked in to the moment we checked out we felt taken care of. Housekeeping came to light our wood stove on a cold rainy day, the front desk booked lunch reservations and tours/tastings at local vineyards, the waitstaff at the restaurant split our 2 shared entres onto 2 plates each and served the fish first then the beef. We were sad to only be able to spend 2 nights and are already planning to add a few nights there on our next trip to Portugal. Hands down our favorite Portugal experience to date.

This is a very memorable place - lovely views, great food, wonderful people. We stayed here on our way to Coimbra from the Algarve. It was a 40 minute drive to Evora where we spent all day and then returned to the hotel. This would be a very special place for a wedding or occasion. But just hanging out is a good plan as well. I would definitely stay here again.

Our stay here, with friends, for a special birthday was an absolute treat. The hotel location and property is gorgeous, the staff made you so welcome and nothing was too difficult for them. We felt like part of the family and thoroughly enjoyed our wine tour and tasting, meals in the restaurant, and having this base from which to explore Alentejo. A wonderful experience which we hope to repeat soon.

Our visit started long before with email and phone calls with Inesh who was so very warm and accommodating with our many questions. Inesh helped us with setting up dinner reservations providing a list of winery suggestions in the surrounding areas. At check in we were greeted by the equally warm and gracious Margarida. She kindly offered us an upgrade and showed us the option between two rooms for us to choose and took her time answering all of our questions. Indeed EVERYONE we met at Torre De Palma was superb but I have to single out Gonçalo who we first met at the bar and then at both dinners at the restaurant. Very attentive, excellent mixologist, knowledgable on all of the wines and pairings and just made us feel like we were in someone's home. He and Tana helped make our 41st anniversary dinner memorable, Muito obrigado Gonçalo! Thanks to Tana at the bar and Monica at breakfast as well! It was most unfortunate that it rained non stop during our stay but we were still treated to a delightful stay and are already planning our return during a less rainy period!

Unbelievably equipped rooms! The linens and furniture are stunning. The pools are both so pretty and welcoming. The photos online don't do this property justice! Food is fabulous and wine great! If you're looking for a place to unwind, this is the place for you. Paulo made us feel very welcome and well looked after.
