Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at the villa! The room had a spectacular design and the small terrace added a charming touch. The atmosphere in the room's surroundings was truly delightful, although dining in the dark was a bit challenging.
Staying at Rio the Prado was a mixed experience. The rooms were very well integrated within the surrounding nature, offering discreet but comfortable accommodations. However, the damp and musty smell, along with mold and water damage in the bath and floors, were significant drawbacks. The location, while beautiful, lacked maintenance and didn't quite match the price point.
The hotel offers discreet yet very comfortable suites with super comfortable beds and all needed amenities. The rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated, and feature a large stone bath at the foot of the bed. The service is very friendly and welcoming, making it easy to approach and ask for assistance. The location, although a bit hard to find in the dark, is situated in a small rural borough just in front of Óbidos lagoon, providing a lovely setting. The dining experience is great with a nice variety of cereals, yogurts, juices, and homemade cakes available.
I enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The room had a unique loft-style design with attention to detail, though the lack of privacy due to its location facing the restaurant was a drawback. The spacious and well-designed room made up for it, creating a cozy atmosphere.

My stay at Rio do Prado was truly a mixed experience. The rooms were super comfy, furnished with all recycled materials, and I loved the attention to detail. The integration within the surrounding nature was a definite plus. However, the journey to reach the hotel was quite challenging, especially without a car. The service was excellent, warm, and thoughtful, but the location, while covered in pear orchards, was a bit tricky to find without a GPS. The dining experience was really amazing with homemade and fresh products, but the facilities left something to be desired.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel nestled in the hills with beautiful cubicles spread across the 'garden'. The rooms were clean and spacious, though facing the restaurant made it slightly less private at nightfall. The service was superb, gathered around an open fire with red wine and warm bread, creating a slice of perfection. The location was amazing, surrounded by pear orchards and close to the ocean, offering a unique and eco-friendly lodge experience. Dining was enjoyable with a great variety, although it could be improved. The facilities were top-notch overall.
