Read's Hotel (Santa Maria)

Our second visit to Reads. A truly splendid hotel where personal service is taken very seriously and where the Read family are a daily presence. And what a pleasure they all are. Facilities are continually being up graded. Food either in the Bistro or the Michelin starred restaurant is first class.

We didn't stay here but ate dinner and it was simply delicious. I would strongly recommend as a treat if you can't afford to stay there (like us) but appreciate seriously good food, lovely staff and beautiful surroundings, then this is the place.

Great amenities. Great service. Restaurant is the jewel in the crown. Mini-bar in the room would be good. Breakfast should include a cooked option - room prices are expensive and guests should not be charged extra for a hot breakfast.

Hotel was all that was promised. Incredible food from incredible chef! Hotel staff were extremely efficient and nothing was too much trouble. The Hotel
advertises a 48-hour laundry and dry-cleaning service. Whether it was
because it was early in the season or perhaps no-one else was sending
laundry, but mine came back within approx 2 hours, and once within the hour, which beats Al Qasr at Madinat Jumeirah in Dubai! What more can we say! If you want to travel around you must hire a car as the Hotel is quite isolated and Taxis like to charge 21 Euros plus just to come to the Hotel, before you actually go anywhere, as we found out to our cost! The Read family and their assorted animal chums were charming and always ready to chat - all in all a wonderful restful break. If the weather had settled it would have been
perfect.

Read's is a wonderful place to relax in a beautiful, peaceful and very hospitable country house. The rooms, staff and cuisine are impeccable and nothing is too much trouble. A truly fabulous experience for couples who want to get away from it all for a few days. 10/10

Outstanding in every respect. Level of service second to none.

Having travelled extensively in Europe, America and the Far East, I can recommend this hotel as one of the best. My wife and I stayed for seven days during which time we enjoyed the very best of food, service and comfort. Difficult to think of a comparative alternative!

Our stay at Reads was exceptional and all arrangements were exactly as planned. The only complaint we had was that the "Degustion menu" complete with the recommended tasting wines did not include transport back to our room at the end of the meal! We were legless.

We thoroughly enjoyed our little break at Reads. Food was quite excellent with great care with a dairy allergy of mine, and accommodation was up to our expectations.
