We stayed in Odeceixe at Casas do Moinho for three nights in August, as part of our visit to the lovely Costa Vicentina area. The property is comprised of a number of traditional village houses brought together to form a larger whole, around a central pool and dining room location. Our room was a bit further up the (steepish) hill, high above the town centre, in a satellite group of additional properties, necessitating a walk down for breakfast and back up the hill afterwards - this was fine in August, might be less fun in the rain. The stylishly appointed, understated dining room area is lovely with an open kitchen and views over the pool to the traditional moinho (mill) from which the property takes its name. Lovely breakfasts, friendly and obliging service although some of the younger waiting staff were perhaps still learning the ropes in terms of how to respond to requests. Our room, although more remote from the main part of the property, was also stylishly understated, with lovely use of local wood for furnishings, and comfortable beds. Tiny terrace with table and chairs just outside, but absolutely no view. Their restaurant clearly gets booked up for dinner well in advance, so we missed out on this having failed to book. There are other good local options. Highly recommended overall.
