Longevity Cegonha Country Club

The pool and spa area are lovely. M

The room was quite basic could do with modernising.

An amazing stay! Every thing was perfect from the staff through to the food. Can not fault a thing!

Nothing

This is a place to come for a wellness break, detox etc. You can come and not do a detox, I did B&B and was great. but bear in mind you won’t find people by the pool with a beer. Quiet and a short distance from town. A natural & green area. A drive or bus to the beach. You are left to your own devices; the staff do not hassle you and there is no pressure to have any treatments or take part in the classes or programme. A breath of fresh air as most places always try to push the spa on you. I only spoke to the waitress at breakfast most days, it was great for the mind. Staff were great & very friendly. Non fussing. Lovely organised walks with staff & guests. Meaning you get to explore, off the beaten track. Great schedule of classes and activities to join in if you wish. The accommodation (your own apartments) are huge. All have balconies or gardens with seating. The complex is small, only about 20/30 rooms so never crowded. No music by the pool, most places would feel too quiet or lack atmosphere by this, but was perfect for here. Very clean grounds. Would come again to get away from it all and spend time alone.

Poor pillows. Some new, better supporting pillows would be great. I think they would make more money if they had a nice seating area or bar (even if only selling healthy drinks), where people could go and talk or watch the sunset.

It is a very peaceful place tucked away with lovely views, large rooms, healthy eating and wonderfully relaxing treatments. The staff are so friendly, particularly Pedro and Sofia who sorted out an initial booking problem very quickly and couldn’t have been more helpful during my stay.

Only criticism is that the main pool was not warm enough for me to swim in but they had a wonderful hot tub!
