Batalha and Alcobaca were world-class sites. Only negative was limited bus transportation. Hotel superbly maintained, but it is a hike up a hill

One of the best hotels I've ever stayed at. Maria was a wonderful help. Try and get a room with a view of the Monastery. The breakfast was delicious and the pool was refreshing on a hot day!

This was smaller hotel but it was very clean. Room and bathroom were modern/updated. The pool was on the small side, but it was clean, refreshing and well maintained. The staff was friendly and spoke good English. There was a nice variety of products for sale that were made in Portugal in the lobby. Also snacks and wine were available. Hot breakfast buffet was available daily and it had a variety of tasty food items. I accidentally left my electric adapters at a previous hotel. They were kind enough to loan me 2 for my stay. Parking is a bit challenging; you might have to drive around a bit to find a space. Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Dear Susan, Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review. We loved reading your comments...Regarding the parking, maybe we didnt explain this upon your check in but we have 2 private car parks: one by the main entrance with a few spaces and a larger parking on another level of the hotel. We are sorry for the inconvenience of driving around to find a space as we could have helped more... We wish you a great holiday in Portugal! Kind regards from the Team - Casa do Outeiro Arts & Crafts Boutique Hotel

Perfect location yet very quiet area. Very clean, very nice breakfast spread. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive to guest’s needs. The only minor set back was the bed, not very comfortable. I definitely recommend this property.

Fantastic place to stay!!
This hotel was suggested by a friend who had travelled through Batahla. We loved this hotel! Absolutely spotless and very nicely decorated. The receptionist was very pleasant as well. A bit hard to find but once you do there was plenty of parking. A 5 min walk to the Monastery and into the main center. This has been our favorite hotel since arriving in Portugal. Also only 1/2 hr from Nazere/Sitia which was a wonderful day trip. You won't be disappointed staying here. We also were told we were getting a double bed but in fact it was a queen. Great view of the Monastery from our room 405. Also they have a lovely pool.

Great stay in Batalha
Great hotel in Batalha with friendly staff and good service. We had the view of the Monastery from our room which we enjoyed both during the day and evening as the Monastery is lit. Short walk to the restaurants etc. We got a parking spot right by the entrance (only 3 spots there), but more parking elsewhere. The WiFi worked consistently, but could have been faster.

5 star Family recommendation from Ireland!!
We went on a family trip to this area to go to Fatima mainly but staying in Batalha was a lovely extra surprise. It is a lovely town. The Monastery is beautiful and Fatima was very close. This Hotel was wonderful. I would highly recommend it and would definitely stay there again. We had adjoining rooms as we have 3 children. It was spotless, staff were lovely and the breakfast was great and the homemade cakes were an added bonus! They catered for my husband's gluten free diet. Whilst the hotel does not do lunch or dinner, there are many good restuarants in Batalha within 5 minutes walk. We were leaving at 5.30am to catch an early flight and when staff found out they made us a takeaway breakfast which could have fed us all for a week! It was a much appreciated gesture.It should really be 5 stars. The pool would be great in warmer times...

A worthwhile stop between Lisbon and Oporto
Batalha has a gem of a monasetry built in the Portuguese manuelan style. The hotel room had a view of the monastery. People are kind and the room , although a bit on the small size, was adequate and well organized. Lts of paintings on the walls, good parking. They even have a small gym.

Stay Away
We were told to park somewhere and the car was smashed. They said it was not their problem tell the insurance company. When I called hotels.com they called hotel. They said we're were liars and very loud rude people. They proceeded to write lies about us. I believe they hate Americans in general and because we complained about parking they liked. Please stay away from this place.

Dear Mrs. Evelyn, Once again...We are sorry not to say thank you for choosing our hotel, because we are really sorry that you actually choose our hotel to stay in Batalha. And yes, as an hotel we do like Americans and all kind of nationalities, so we don't understand your comment. We just don't like unfair and rude clients with any reason, like in any kind of business. For your information, this year we were considered the best 3 star Hotel in Portugal...for some reason and I'm sure that one of the reasons is because we have educated and respectful staff. About the reception, the person in charge of the service that day was kind and friendly, even though you were unpleasant and not polite while interrupting coarsely a check-in that was being done. We understand your frustration for having hit with your car, but the hotel is not responsible for that like you wanted, since we don’t even know if the incident was nearby the hotel or somewhere else. Also, on the check-in we always have the mindfulness to inform where our guests can park in the hotel facilities. We had the same attention with you but there was immediately said that you were not going to drive there, so we informed about a nearer place to park. If your unfair comments were related with the problem with the car, we are sorry for your malformed attitude. We are not responsible for our client cars in our parking or outside. We have 2 free parkings. One of them just in front of the reception and the other one on the back side of the hotel, 2 minutes driving...and you refused to go. Hotels.com called us and they have the same opinion we have. We could not do anything and we cannot be responsible for your car. You wanted us to sign a declaration for us to be responsible for your car and that's not correct. You have parked your car in a public area (a safe area) and didn't wanted to use our private parking. If someone hits in someone elses car that person is responsible. All cars have insurance for some reason. So...we don't have anything else to say. Next time try just to enjoy your holidays! Thank you and regards Marta Madeira

Beautiful hotel!
We had an amazing stay. We had two rooms booked, one with two adults and one with two adults and an infant. The hotel was very accommodating and able to get us into a section that had two rooms side by side. The decor was very nice and the rooms were kept very clean. The location was great with a beautiful view of the Monastery. We had one nice day in May where we could sit by the pool and enjoy the sun in their lounge chairs. The breakfast was good also. Would definitely return or recommend it to others.

I wish I could give it more than 5/5
A quiet, inexpensive hotel with great parking and right by the wonderful church which is the reason to go to Batalha. Unfortunately, there aren't many other reasons but if I were to go again I'd try to build a stay in this relaxing hotel into my itinerary. If the weather is bad there are games and a pool table. Breakfast is superb and the coffee excellent and unlimited.

They are remodeling at the time
This hotel is into remodeling at this time. Everything is upside down Wait a few months until they are finished. The things they advertise are not real. There is no way they can give you a welcoming drink at the moment. The sheets are not "egiptian cotton" (see the pictures) Stay a way for a few months.
Response from Marta Madeira on 27 May 2016
Dear Mr. Pablo, Thank you for choosing our hotel. First of all we must remember you that we sent you an e-mail explaining about works going on. We did it with all reservations. Now refurbishment works have finished. Until now we received all client with our homemade liquors and jam, even during refurbishments. They were very visible in the reception área. Sorry, if you expected champagne as a welcome drink, but we don’t have any information about what kind of welcome drink. We actually produce our own liquors and jams to offer our clients…sorry if this was not enough. About our sheets, well we are really proud to have Made in Portugal sheets…thank you for the photo that proves that. Why should we have “egiptian cotton” sheets? You are actually our 1st guest referring that. We do not have that information anywhere…so if you can tell us we would appreciate that. We also don’t understand if there was any problem with the toilet? But thank you for the photo also. We have colourful toilets. Finally, we would like to invite you to visit our new and refurbished hotel. I’m sure you will love it.

Casa do Outeiro in Batalha, Portugal
This hotel is really charming with a staff that goes way out of their way to be helpful. We had a great view of the monastery which is beautiful when lit at night. The room was clean but a little small even for just two of us (we were on three week vacation and carrying lot of luggage). We had to carry luggage upstairs to our room on the fifth floor as the elevator only serviced the lower three floors. Parking is limited but we were able to park our car each of the two nights we stayed in Batalha.
