Review by hotel critic
Nestled in a serene valley, Moinho do Comandante offers a culinary experience that transcends the typical getaway. As a travel consultant with a penchant for island getaways, I found the ambiance of the dining space to be inviting, allowing guests to unwind. Each breakfast was a good surprise, featuring local specialties alongside traditional offerings. Carlos, our host, tailored our meals to our preferences, with his scrambled eggs quickly becoming a highlight of my mornings. One morning, while enjoying the generous spread, I listened to Carlos share tales of the region, enriching my understanding of the local culture. Dining in such a tranquil setting—with only the sounds of the birds and nearby river—created a refreshing contrast to bustling tourist spots. The Moinho’s peaceful surroundings are an excellent backdrop for anyone seeking relaxation and reflection. Be prepared to venture out for groceries, as amenities are a drive away. Moinho do Comandante is a hidden gem, ideal for travelers who appreciate culinary innovation and the charm of a dedicated host.
