Maison Albar - Amoure

We booked this 5- star Maison for a week, just after it opened and did not have much to gauge its service level on due to very limited reviews. We should not have worried as from the moment we entered the driveway the concierge was next to our car to take the car keys and look after the luggage. Check in was also a personal service in the drawing room with a glass of champagne and seamless introduction to the Maison. We were upgraded to a beautiful suite with large balcony overlooking the front of the hotel. Breakfast was again a personalised service rather than buffet and dinner provided a great selection. The steam room, sauna, indoor and outdoor pool are beautifully located and well serviced. As the owners of this Maison are clearly car enthusiasts, the bright coloured Ferraris come at no cost to observe while sitting in the bar. We travel the world extensively and stay at some very nice locations, however this Maison fits in a different class. It is only small with 28 rooms/suites and ample space (both inside and out) to relax. Each day we selected a day trip within an hours drive which allowed us to explore the most Northern parts of Portugal less visited by tourists. We suggest you book this Maison quickly before the rest of the world finds out what is on offer here!

L'hôtel est incroyable, tout est beau et imaginé avec beaucoup de goût. On ne s'attend pas à trouver un si bel hôtel dans ce petit village. L'accueil est parfait. Nous y avons passé un excellent séjour, le restaurant est digne d'un étoilé. Le petit déjeuner est excellent. Le bar est surprenant avec comme œuvre d'art une magnifique voiture de collection. Tout est parfait. Nous reviendrons.
