Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Outstandingly!!
The guesthouse is absolutely stunning. The property’s owners renovated the barn with a lot of taste and thought for detail. Andreas and Andrea are the kindest hosts ever! They generously invited us for a BBQ the first evening to get to know us and transferred their love for the region by explaining us everything about the land and the art of producing good quality organic olive oil. The spacious house, the terrace, the comfi porch, the beautiful pool and the quiet surroundings allowed us to wind down from our day to day life. We did day trips to the surrounding cities and archeological sites of the region, also the longest beach of the area can be reached within one hour drive. Very handy is that there are 4 restaurants in the next village ;-) This is the perfect place to stay with your family, with friends or even on a course! All double beds can be transformed to single beds, I could therefore imagine to organize a retreat on this magical property... We enjoyed it lots and will be back for sure!!

Fabulous stay with super hosts in great surroundings
We organized a reunion of friends from all over the world at this fabulous estate. The rooms are luxurious with a personal touch and the interior places are full of high-end furniture and fabric - Andrea has great taste! Walking around the vast orchard with century old olive trees was amazing - my wife promptly "adopted" a tree ("Arturo"). This peaceful location is easy to get to from Lisbon, and close to many historic places as well as good local wineries. Relaxing on the porch overlooking the pool into the horizon with a nice glass of wine, this truly is an Oasis! Thanks Andreas and Andrea for a memorable stay, we will be back...

Met recht een verborgen parel
Wat een prachtige plek, in het hart van Portugal 20 minuten onder de historische stad Evora. We hadden natuurlijk verwachtingen gezien we hadden geboekt via de website, maar de verwachtingen werden ver overtroffen. Na een beetje zoeken hadden we de afslag gevonden. We kwamen op een landweg die ons leide door het prachtige Portugese Landschap, We kwamen aan werden verwelkomd door de eigenaren Andrea en Andreas, we voelde ons direct welkom. Zij brachten ons naar ons verblijf " the Barn " Wauw! Wat prachtig. Na dat we ons hadden opgefrist kregen we een rond leiding over het landgoed. Heerlijk zoutwaterbad met veel ruimte om te zonnen. Avonds werden we uitgenodigd voor de barbecue, wat een top avond, en wat een gewéldige en aardige gastheer en vrouw Andreas en Andrea, Super! Als je praat van een aanradertje dat is dit er absoluut één.

Perfection
The best hosts ever! Truly! The accommodation is stunning and perfectly equipped. The location is ideal for visiting Unesco Heritage sites and inland Portugal. Lisbon is not far away, though. The landscape becomes even more magnificent and interesting when the owners tell you all about it. To top it all, as visiting artists, we could paint in- and outside the studio of Andrea. At night, the sky, full of stars, was a breathtaking.

Wish I could have stayed much longer ......
The rooms, the pool, the hospitality, the property - pretty much everything is grand. It’s an amazing place to slow down and enjoy. Good food, wine and plenty vineyards in the area, art museums, cork trees, olive trees and a picturesque railway station (Vila Nova da Baronia - Lisbon); all there and more. Great place to stay for a small group and a superb venue for (wedding)celebrations.

Wonderfull stay
Thank you, Andrea and Andreas for your hospitality in the farm and barn! You welcomed our group like family. Both houses are beautiful and have an amazing view, fully equiped kitchen, BBQ, big rooms with bathroom and everything was so clean. We explored the region of Alentejo because there is so much to do and to see but we could easily have spend the entire week in the house. The swimming pool and the surroudings are wonderful! We hope we can come back soon to this little piece of paradise.
