We spent the first week in may here. The hotel was lovely though the gardens were'nt as big as we thought from the pictures. The staff are all friendly helpful and polite. Nothing was too much trouble. We had a great laugh with the restaurant team! The only downside to the hotel was the menu. We stayed half board and... More

We stayed here for 10 nights on a bed & breakfast basis. Our room was delightful(#106) with a lovely view of the well tended gardens. The staff are very helpful, although we got the impression that they were more inclined to communicate with us if we approached them. The selection of food for breakfast was wide, hot & cold, the...

The welcome was efficient and formal, we arrived slightly early but there were no problems with early check in. The room (standard with balcony) was large and well decorated and was situated in a quiet area, as requested, and had a very large bed which was quite comfortable. The bathroom was large and the shower (in bath) was quite powerful... More

A wonderful hotel. You can tell how good a hotel is by the level of service - and this hotel is faultless. From the welcome at reception to the bar staff and restaurant staff to the gardeners - people couldn't do enough to make the stay perfect. All the facilities of a large 5star hotel but in a friendly comfortable... More

We love small hotels and with 34 rooms the Sao Joao is ideal. From the moment we checked in we were treated as honoured guests and nothing was too much trouble. Our room was spacious, clean and well serviced, the bathroom similar. Public rooms were extensive with an old fashioned style. Pools clean and of good size for a small... More

Couldn't fault this hotel, high standards, excellent service but at a moderate price. It offers what a good hotel should do. Very impressed and will recommend to others. Only downside was that there were no tea/coffee making facilities so we were obliged to use the bar service during the day.
