Aethos Ericeira

Spectacular place to go to from Lisbon for a couple of days, we loved our stay! Sauna and pool are great. Ocean view is top notch! The only recommendation I’d make is to fix the WiFi connection, in the room we stayed internet was super slow and unstable, I wasn’t able to connect at all during pick hours. You’d expect a lot higher WiFi quality from hotels like this one. Thank you very much for having us!

I honestly don’t even know where to begin because this hotel is truly one of the best I’ve ever stayed at! From the very first moment, the service was absolutely outstanding – every single staff member was incredibly attentive, warm, and welcoming. The design of the hotel is simply stunning – so chic, tasteful, and aesthetic. Even though it’s small and intimate, it feels luxurious and perfectly curated. The atmosphere is pure relaxation and serenity, exactly what you need for a dreamy getaway. Our room was bright, cozy, and opened right onto the pool. The bed and pillows were unbelievably comfortable, with crisp linens and the softest towels – every little detail felt thoughtful. I also loved the high-quality bath products (shower gel, shampoo, conditioner) – such a nice touch! The facilities are top-notch: a heated pool, a well-equipped gym, a steam sauna, a regular sauna, and even a cold plunge – we used them all and absolutely loved it. Breakfast was another highlight: delicious, fresh, and made with quality ingredients. You can choose from the buffet or the à la carte menu – and it’s all included. On top of that, the hotel offers electric bike rentals and even some complimentary activities, which made the whole experience even more fun. I truly can’t recommend this place enough – everything was beyond perfect, and I’d go back in a heartbeat! 🌟

Why would you put a hotel here? A barren piece of land that could feature as the backdrop to something super unpleasant in Breaking Bad. No attempt has been made to blend the hotel into its environment. It could have simply landed. Whilst the interior is pretty chic it has started to wear and maintenance is not a strong point here. Prices are absurd. Food is poor. Service is atrocious. And Portugal hasn’t yet invented the egg cup.

Lovely hotel, but… Lovely hotel but restaurant was pretty bad and ridiculously overpriced (the hotel is also quite far from the city centre, so you cannot walk to another place/ always need a taxi). Also some of the staff were quite rude - not what I’d expect from a 5-star hotel. Nice for a night or two but wouldn’t spend longer here.
