Conversas de Alpendre

Andrew F11 months ago

We've just finished a three day, two night mini break here and couldn't have been happier with our choice of hotel.||From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel extremely welcome and all staff were very friendly and happy to help whenever needed.||The hotel is small and intimate so at no point do you feel it is busy and relaxation is very easy, whether it be around the pool, by your room or in the garden areas.||The attention to detail is fantastic both in room and in the shared areas and it was interesting to hear from Marta (owner) how they continually look to improve year on year.||We stayed in the No Stress room which had its own terrace and jacuzzi. The room was very clean and comfortable with some lovely homely touches.||The food was exceptional. Breakfast each day included local breads, cheeses, meats, yoghurt, homemade granola, honey, homemade jam, fresh juices, a choice of eggs, pancakes. All delicious. We ate from the all day snack menu for lunch at various times, with our choices being sharing platters, burgers, fish and chips, and again, all of a very high standard. Both nights we ate the surprise set menu, a three course delight of local flavours where you just choose your main protein and identify any allergies or dislikes beforehand. More local breads along with olive oil for dipping and marinated olives meant we were satisfyingly stuffed at the end. ||The drinks choices were very good and we enjoyed local beer, wine and well made cocktails, all for very reasonable prices. There is an outdoor bar where you can sit on seats or swings whilst enjoying your tipple of choice and the views down towards the coast.||We spent most of our time relaxing on-site, but did make use of the transfer service to make the 5 minute journey to Fabrica to take in the incredible beach for a few hours.||We can't recommend Conversas de Alpendre highly enough. We hope to be back with our children / family / friends at some point in the future!||A huge thank you to all of the team for an unforgettable stay.
