Loved the staff! Check in was very pleasant. Staff helped us with hiking ideas and times. Hotel’s view is out of this world. Prob best view I’ve ever had. We went to valley of the nuns for lunch at naibors cafe and it was the best lunch I’ve had in Portugal. Fresh homemade cooked food. The only sad thing was we had to leave. I would definitely return if I ever have the chance

Very interesting historical museum hotel. The hotel is well maintained for its age, felt like going back in time a bit. Our group was impressed by how well-kept and clean it is, everything was sparkling clean.

Large clean room with comfortable beds. Only 3 electrical sockets available and all in use. Maybe provide an extention lead? Staff were generally helpful and friendly. Lovely area/setting. No parking issues and lovely garden though didn't get to sit outside much due to the rain. Restaurant needs some attention as food/cooking quality a bit hit and miss. However competitively priced. Would happily return though I might eat out more.

Just okay

Staff was very nice. Very basic accommodation- no AC, dark, small room, food ok, but expensive for what it is. Nice pool, lukewarm hot tub, good shower pressure. Bed is super uncomfortable, hard, springy. There may be better rooms in the updated building, but I don’t know.

Nice location in the mountains, great starting point. Value for money is very good, the room was comfortable. There is a newly renovated pool area with jacuzzi and sauna which was nicer than in some 5 star hotels. The breakfast was ok for a few days, it’s nothing special. Staff very friendly. When you’re looking for an affordable place to stay for a few days, this is the place for you.

Very nice smaller hotel with good facilities. Pool and Jacuzzi are very nice. Sauna costs extra, which is not indicated at the time of the reservation, but worth it. Room included an excellent continental breakfast and dinner was also very good. Would definitely recommend. December is low season and it was quiet.

Pros: Lovely hotel with a style. You can feel like living in a previous century, with beautiful wooden furniture and a blooming garden around. There is a mini museum downstairs, super interesting to see old things in there! Also, there is a very nice and warm swimming pool and jacuzzi. Awesome experience to end the day with! Free breakfast is also a plus. It’s simple but good. The area is quiet, so you can sleep with the open windows and wake up only from the roosters :) Cons: 1. The bed mattress is super hard. I am not too picky but the first night I did not get a good sleep. Then I kinda adjusted. But I know for many people it could be a big issue. 2. There is no tea maker in the room. We asked for the hot water from the bar a couple of times, they kindly provided us with it. But I prefer making my own tea and have a source of boiled water to take for a day. Hope the hotel management will fix both issues eventually, and then it will be just perfect, with a great value for the money.
