And that's not all: there is an on-site restaurant, a lounge bar, a pool bar, a spa (jajajaja) with a fitness center and a you-want-anything shop.

The hotel rooms are simple but beautiful. In a no bullshit design but comfortable. You probably won't be there much: the surroundings are too tempting. That lake indeed, but the general areas of the hotel are also wonderful. The patio, the restaurant serving traditional dishes from the Alentejo region, the various seating areas, the (seasonal) outdoor pool, the large dining room - everything is equally beautiful. This also applies to the estate surrounding the hotel: ask the lovely staff to prepare a picnic basket for you. There are more than enough shaded picnic spots right in front of your own house (the 'rooms' are all houses). Each house has air conditioning, cable TV, a coffee maker and a bathroom with underfloor heating, making São Lourenço do Barrocal also perfect in the early or late season.
