Customer Reviews
Our stay at Herdade de Matinha was one of the true highlights of our time in Portugal. We loved the peaceful, green surroundings, the thoughtful focus on sustainability, the relaxed atmosphere, and the delicious meals served at breakfast and dinner. All of our interactions with the staff were great and our room was comfortable and offered a lovely view of the property and surrounding hills—perfect for a restful night’s sleep. While the Portuguese coast is stunning, the walking and hiking here were exactly what we were hoping for. The Rota Vicentina trail passes right through the property, leading all the way down to the coast—a route we highly recommend. And for beach lovers, there are plenty of beautiful options just a short drive away. This is the kind of place you find yourself wanting to return to again and again. Highly recommended!
I feel my shoulders dropping - with one deep breath in and out - I know I am at home. That’s the feeling for me when I go to Herdade da Matinha. There must be something in the scent, but it only takes a few minutes and I’m in total calm mode. If you want a good rest - this is where you need to be. Also the restaurant is run by two brothers and sons of Alfredo (the founder and resident artist). Love the kitchen (I hear it used to be accessible to the hotel guests in the past - oh how I wish that could return :)) And the food is very tasty. It goes into a Portuguese traditional direction, but still with modern ingredients. Last time I went I loved the Tomato Gazpacho and the Oxtail Croquettes! Also currently they have a special lunch every Sunday.
A magical, quiet and relaxing place with great service and food. After two days of biking, we stopped here for two nights to relax and take a day off from biking. It was just what we needed. Seriously away from the beaten path. The beautiful coastline of Portugal and a perfect beach is about a 2.5 mile hike from the hotel and well worth it.
