Vermelho Melides - Relais & Châteaux

Simplly a great escape

Beautiful place.

The pool is tiny and no proper wellness facilities.

La decoración, la cerámica artesana, cada detalle. La huerta ecológica y que compren a consumidores locales.

Nos gustó todo. Desde la decoración, hasta la situación en un pueblo encantador, no lejos de la costa, pero tampoco tan cerca como para sentirse abrumado por las masas del verano, como sobre todo y muy especialmente el personal, amable y encantador, de modo natural. En fin sería difícil describir lo especial que es este Hotel.

Nos gustó todo

Beautifully decorated, sweet staff.

The early evening mosquitos as location is very close to Paddy Fields. And the hotel restaurant wasn’t good enough to entice my husband and I back. As non self driving clientele we didn’t find the culinary offerings within Melides or the hotel, exciting or inspiring. We did take a taxi to spend one of our 4 days at the Comporta beach club where we enjoyed a delicious Ceviche.. but I’m not really sure the whole area can be called ‘the Hamptons of Portugal’ as they claim it to be, quite yet. There is potential and there are big beautiful skies but the Vermelho needs to up its game somewhat.

As pessoas eram muito simpáticas, o hotel recebeu-nos muito bem e ainda nos ofereceu alguns miminhos! Muito obrigada :)

Le vrai luxe non ostentatoire, qui permet le silence et la slow life. Le respect de Louboutin pour ses hôtes et le partage.

Le personnel au dîner. Et vraisemblablement un problème en cuisine. Pour le coup cela nous a semblé très long. Nous nous sommes demandé s’il y avait un encadrement d’équipe.

Absolutely everything What a fabulous place

Melhor hotel que fui na vida, tem arte para todo lugar que vc olhar e a banheira é magica, o hotel é uma obra de arte e o funcionários conseguem deixar a estadia ainda mais especial!

Impossível achar algo ruim!

A arquitetura do hotel é algo fora de série. Cada detalhe parece ter sido pensado com carinho e cuidado. Os funcionários são extremamente atenciosos.

It was one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in

Gorgeous property and rooms, photographs can’t show how beautiful everything is. The staff is wonderful as well.

Ambiente dettagli arredi

The most beautiful place I ever visited! Such an amazing hotel and the most amazing staff Thank you so much for this lovely time ❤️

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt im Vermelho. Tolle Juniorsuite, schönes Bad. Auch im Restaurant haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt, aufmerksames nettes Personal auch beim Frühstücksservice. Das Hotel ist besonders in seiner Austattung und im Service. Gerne kommen wir wieder.

In diesem Hotel gibt es nichts auszusetzen.

Wunderschönes Hotel mit einem traumhaften Garten und einer sehr gepflegten Anlage. Man fühlt sich vom ersten Moment an wohl. Das Personal ist außerordentlich nett, aufmerksam und jederzeit hilfsbereit – wirklich ein großes Plus! Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und stets frisch zubereitet. Besonders hervorzuheben ist auch die liebevolle Aufmerksamkeit am Abend: Ein „Gute-Nacht-Tee“ wurde aufs Zimmer gebracht – eine wunderbare Geste, die den Aufenthalt noch besonderer gemacht hat.

An incredible property, well appointed. There could be more soul in such a beautiful space - lots of opportunity to enhance the experience. The guest lounge is beautifully decorated but the snacks were poor for such an establishment- no ambient music which left it feeling a little austere. The restaurant was absolutely brilliant, Joao spent time sharing his knowledge of local wines with such passion. The staff are wonderful, warm, kind and knowledgeable of the area spar the front desk - they make the experience exceptional rather than the venue.

Beautiful villa. Close to the coast. Must be fantastic in summer time.

Winter feels a little isolated. The village streets are very narrow, so don’t necessarily trust your GPS if it suggests taking the inner streets, better sticking to the outside roads.

Komforlu, huzurlu,temiz

Odadaki ilk şarabın ikram olması gerekirdi. Check-in için gidilince hemen valiz telaşına çalışanlar düşmemeli

Hötel avec une décoration exceptionnelle de par son originalité,des objets étonnants,beaux et originaux. Personnel attentif et heureux de partager l'histoire de la construction de l'hotel . A visiter absolument! Mr Louboutin est un vrai artiste.

Decoração do hotel

A piscina nao é aquecida e poucas opções de snacka, o hotel é isolado de forma que o ideal é ter mais opções de comida 0ara o hóspede.

Property is absolutely stunning, peaceful and the staff is lovely.

From our warm welcome to our warm good bye.. everything was truly Portuguese perfection! All of it, everything and everyone, made it very relaxing, very zen and very much a true luxurious experience.

Vermelho is beautifully designed and the finishes are exceptional. We particularly enjoyed the sense of calm that prevails when you are inside the property, it is very peaceful and serene and for those looking for a relaxing time this is the place. The rooms are beautifully appointed, spacious, the bathrooms luxurious and each room is unique. We slept with the windows open and at night it is incredibly peaceful and quiet. Breakfast is served outside in the garden making for a wonderful start to the day. We enjoyed all our meals at the property, the food quality was good and the service friendly and efficient. The staff is friendly, helpful and engaging.

The hotel is situated in a tiny village that offers little to do for the travellers and you have to travel some distance if you want to have a meal out. Most guests will arrive in their own vehicle, as we did, and it was useful having a car to get around during our stay. The bar and wine service I thought could be improved, particularly the wines by the glass could be better curated.

Toda a qualidade da unidade e a sua decoração

Uma unidade de cinco estrelas tem de ter pessoal cinco estrelas o que não acontece

Decoração muito legal e cama King

Barulho do quarto em cima !

Struttura molto bella, curata nell’arredo nei minimi particolari , conciergerie molto brava, opere di Giuseppe Ducrot perfette

Piscina troppo piccola , acqua fredda la sera per la doccia,ristorante non valido, cibo non adatto alla struttura , personale del ristorante non coordinato, lunga attesa , riso scotto

Café da manhã muito bom

Gostei de tudo

We stayed for 24 hours and instantly relaxed - staff were extremely welcoming. Beautiful surroundings and very well kept. Our meal at the restaurant was exquisite - one of the best we’ve had in recent times. The lighting was fantastic and the music was just at the right tempo. Breakfast outside was delicious-great range of delights. We couldn’t fault anything. One thing I would point out is that Booking.com didn’t send us amended directions to reach the hotel as entry road was closed due to building works.

The best thing about VM is the staff. service is very good in every area. they give great ideas for day trips, beaches and restaurants. some might view the experience tranquil but it can also be viewed as "dead". bar was empty both friday and saturday and it is an incredible bar. biggest issue was the dining room. falls flat relative to the decor of the rest of the hotel and the food is merely decent. for the price, it needs to be amazing on all fronts

Beautiful hotel, lovely staff. Terrific location.

The restaurant was a disappointment. The decor was bland, and didn't match the splendor of the rest of the hotel. The food was bland and uninteresting. The restaurant did not match the caliber of the rest of the hotel.

Great Breakfast, nice gardens. Small but nice pool area.

Perfect breakfast on our patio

The most amazing property, experience, and staff that felt like family! Truly heaven on earth and the best hotel experience of all time.

Excellent stay. Excellent staff All around! Prettiest hotel I have ever been!

The hotel is an amazing place. The welcome we had from the staff at the front desk was exceptional. The intro to the hotel and facilities was great. Welcome drink on one of the terraces (we chose which one) was lovely overlooking the pool! The room we had was fabulous, we were upgraded on arrival which was lovely. The food in the restaurant was particularly good, we ate there for both of our two night stay. The decor around the hotel is fantastic. Very different, but amazing to see. We absolutely loved the hotel and staff and will definitely come back.

Room was not as described on Booking.com website. Did not have garden view. Staff need training; not all five star standard. Over-priced (could have been because we stayed on Valentine's Day. Decoration of the hotel is very unusual (not too our taste. Service in restaurant very slow.

Absolute perfection. Gorgeous hotel, remarkable staff, excellence in every way. Breakfasts are incredibly generous and delicious, decor is beyond beautiful. Can't wait to return.

wish our room had a bidet. Bathroom was enormous and gorgeous.

What a treat to stay at this stunning hotel! We will definitely be back!

Fabulous hidden gem of a property with world class food and service!

Fabulous stay. Exceptional staff. The village is very small...you will stay on property exclusively.

Everything, that was nothing bad about the hotel.

Nothing

All the detail and decor

Nothing!

Luxurious stay. The hotel consists of excellent service and great attention to detail from a design perspective! It was the perfect setting for our honeymoon.

The property and its surroundings are absolutely beautiful. It is a place of tranquility and luxury. And the staff team is exceptional!

We loved the breakfast though I think a buffet table to complement the menu selection would be great. Really nothing to complain about but a table of local produce eg nuts and figs, etc, to complement breakfast, would be exceptional.

The hotel is small, beautiful and comfortable. It’s located in a tiny village but close to beautiful beaches.

There was no hot water on the Tub on the toilet

Amazing hotel with great staff

It was beautiful

It was a little empty - restaurant had no character as no people dining

Absolutely magical setting and facilities

Staff is phenomenal and the property is magical.

L’hôtel est magnifique, sa décoration et sa structure sont impressionnante. Le service et le restaurant ne sont pas à la hauteur du bâtiment et de la renommé de celui ci. Pas de parking prive couvert, La qualité des plats du restaurant n’est pas à la hauteur, les cuissons et assaisonnement ne sont pas maîtrisé, Le restaurant intérieur et extérieur est infesté de moustiques, ce qui rend le moment désagréable et impossible, le personnel ne semble pas s’en préoccuper et nous indique que le problème a été remis à la direction. Le niveau du petit déjeuner est au même niveau qu’un hôtel IBIS en France (vienoiseries, pastel de nata congelé, pain au lait de mauvaise qualité …) à 900€ la nuit c’est très médiocre.

a la carte, anything was possible. tasteful. Nice to have breakfast outside

missing television in the room

Superb service. Kind and attentive. Always smiling. This place by far exceeded our expectations. Just a stunning hotel. The attention to detail is second to none. Staff are just incredible- the highest level we have ever experienced - giving their absolute best in kindness, attention and generosity in a kind and authentic way. Rooms are stunning and beautifully decorated with excellent bedding, beautiful linen, luxurious bathrooms and immaculate cleaning and attention to details. Pool is luxurious and well attended allowing for an amazing relaxing time and they even give you 2 x divine hats to lounge by the pool in style! Breakfasts were generous, super delicious, great friendly smiley service and the restaurant is out of this world, just so tasty, every single dish- and we tried them all! Super cute town, divine surrounding beaches and you can hire electric bikes to go exploring. We enjoyed our time so much and highly recommend!! . We would stay here again a heartbeat and cannot wait to return to this perfect, calm, amazing place which literally feels like heaven.

Nothing, everything was just divine

Casual elegance, the perfect place to unwind and de-stress

Nothing comes mind

Excellent in every way Would definitely return for a future stay

Amazing place with style.

Too isolated. You can not go even to the beach. There is nothing to do in the little village. One night enough to enjoy the hotel.

The hotel was beautiful, peaceful and tranquil and the decor amazing.

Beautiful property in small town. Not much to do in the town. The restaurant was good, staff was very helpful and it’s a beautiful place

Location doesn’t have much to do

It was excellent

Breakfast could have more variety

Staff were exceptionally helpful. Attention to detail outstanding in interiors & exteriors.

Exceptional staff and exceptional hotel. Would absolutely recommend.

The premises by themselves are a gem. Staff are top notch!

Surroundings.

Quirkiness, attention to detail, friendly staff.

Beautiful hotel - great and quirky interior design.

Location was a bit remote with very little around it.

The service was extraordinary. The young staff was so friendly and helpful, from the front desk to servers in the restaurant to the person answering the gate. They made it feel like you were visiting someone's home. Then, the design and artwork throughout the hotel, and certainly my room, was so interesting and unique. They located a local English speaking driver/guide for a day of exploration of the area that I arranged at the last minute. The last minute nature of my request didn't phase them. That was a treat.

The hotel is in the centre of Melides so ideal for seeing the local sights Breakfast in the hotel was lovely - fresh smoothies every morning. Food cooked to order The gardens are very attractive We had dinner one night and it was super. The bar area is very attractive The decor is quirky reflecting the owner’s style Valet parking

There really wasn’t anything to dislike!

It was just great

everything

Beautiful ambience. Fabulous bedlinen and the most comfortable room. Very helpful staff. We will be back!

Excellent service, beautiful setting, great selection.

Nothing at all.

We are totally in love with every little thing about Vermelho. Of course the interior design and architecture are what stand out most. The whole experience from the food at breakfast, to food at dinner, as well as the incredibly helpful, polite and friendly staff. We wished we could have extended our trip.

Nothing to do with the hotel, but we do wish we had come with our own car as it is easier to move around as there is much to see. If not, then relaxing in the luxury of the hotel was just as wonderful.
