One of the coolest properties I’ve stayed at in Portugal! We stayed in the Presidential suite which has a roof top with a jacuzzi! Definitely worth the upgrade! Only negative is we ordered a bottle of Champagne to our room and it ended up being 125 euro and the food/breakfast even champagne wasn’t very good. So stay for the stay but eat elsewhere!

Great location, great service and staff and great food. We discovered a flat tire on our rental car after we checked out and the staff contacted the rental car company and arranged a taxi and a tow truck to get the tire repaired. They went beyond!

We had a perfect stay here. The staff were absolutely charming and so helpful and friendly, anticipating needs and helping with queries/ bookings, even providing some masterful help with a tricky chess move! - we felt totally spoilt. Even the taxi firm they use has great drivers who give excellent tips on where to visit. The hotel itself is newly refurbished with great facilities and decor. You can see how much thought and care went into making it comfortable and stylish. Sao Martinho itself is a small family-friendly place for a quiet break, much needed after the crowds of Lisbon and Sintra. The hotel is a short walk from the railway station, and right opposite the beach, so you are treated to wonderful sunsets while having drinks on the terrace. Although surrounded by restaurant options, I would suggest you eat in for at least some of your stay as the quality is excellent, as is the breakfast. Overall we had a fab holiday here and cannot recommend it highly enough. I only wish we had planned for this part of our trip to be longer. It’s well worth walking the length of the bay to the huge sand dune at the end, and back over the boardwalks over the dunes. Nazare and the walled medieval village of Obidos are great day trips, only about 15 mins taxi ride away. We’ll definitely be back. Thanks everyone for making it such a lovely holiday.

The Storyteller hotel is a unique property with individual decorated rooms with well-known authors' names. Our room was very compact, but was really well decorated and beautiful, and seemed freshly renovated. The hotel is literally facing the beach, and listening to the sound of waves was lovely while I sleep.
