Hotels with Pools in Abela

Monte do Giestal is a hidden treasure. It is located in the middle of a cork oak forest with winding nature paths. There are also lovely olive trees sprinkled around. Breakfast is served every morning with the name of your villa on a reserved table. In addition, you can place dinner orders from a local restaurant with authentic Portuguese cuisine, and the hotel delivers it to your door in a picnic basket. The reception also has delicious Portuguese wines you can buy for great prices. The hotel also makes delicious gin and rum drinks from a local distillery. The gin is absolutely delightful. The staff at the hotel were friendly and attended immediately to every request. We did not get massages, although they are available; however, we did enjoy the heated pool (amazing jets), the sauna and the hot tub. It was also a treat to feed apples and pears to the beautiful donkeys on the property. I feel so grateful that I had the opportunity to visit this lovely property. P.S. When we arrived a wedding party was leaving. They were having lunch on the wide, spacious verandah. The couple had just gotten married underneath an ancient cork oak. It would be a wonderful place to get married. All in all, this was a magical property.
