Excellent hotel with excellent facilities and exce
We had a very relaxing stay. We loved the room, the facilities, the restaurant, the service, everything was perfect. A small incident not really the fault of the hotel: We asked for a kettle to make tea in the room. They brought us everything we needed including some nice teabags. The kettle however had some noodles in it, some scrambled with the coils, probably because the last customer used it to cook noodles. It did take us some time to clean the kettle.

Do not recommend. Stay elsewhere.
Disappointing. Stale, outdated room. Cringy carpet; old bedding and pillows. Had a hard time sleeping because of fear of bed bugs or other creepies. No bites in the morning, thank goodness. Big spider in the curtains. One bar wifi; after complaining they gave us a wifi repeater to plug in and didn't help. Property has some serious deferred maintenance. Do not recommend.

Magnificent view from upper floors.
The hotel looks better in photos. It s a little run down with not much to do either in the hotel or in the vicinity. The view is mind blowing but be sure to ask for a room at the upper floors. Breakfast was ok. Most of the staff impecable, service very good. Must have a car for this hotel. Very, very limited options for vegetarians. Not suitable for vegans.

When I arrived my room was ready and it was clean and smells good. The view of my room was amazing. Staffs was very welcoming and they spoke English enough so we can have a conversation of understanding with each other. There are free parking all around the hotel property. Please get a car if you drive..( manual/ stick shift is the most popular cars in Europe) so please choose according to your driving licence allowance. I drove to Spain for the day which is less than 2 hrs from the hotel. Nothing is close enough for a walking distance that's the main disadvantage. It was my birthday and the staff surprised me with champagne and biscuit decorated on the side which I loved. They give robes and change towels every single day when your room is clean. I brought my laptop and HDMI connector so I can watch anything I wanted to I.E Netflix/ YouTube. As majority of their channels are in Portuguese which I expected. Side note to hotel please build an indoor pool so customer that visit in the winter can have a bit a relaxation. The hotel is definitely a 4*.

Great Hotel, Fantastic Views
We had an excellent 4 night stay, would recommend a car for getting around although not essential as they offer shuttles. Fantastic views from the rooms, restaurant and pool area. Staff really friendly and we enjoyed good days out in Porto and the local areas, in short a very enjoyable and relaxing stay.

Hillside hotel with great views
Hotel was well situated at the top of a hill with great views. The rooms were well appointed with balcony and a fridge, and were cleaned every day. The breakfast buffet was extensive and even had champagne. The restaurant was very good, we just felt it lacked variety and could have done more 'Portuguese' cuisine. The pools were good, plenty of sunbeds, just got very warm as heated by solar panels and we had a heatwave! Big plus for us, we saw night jars flying over the pool!

Charm of this hotel is it location on a mountain top with spectacular views towards the sea Quite are reserved clientele. Restaurant food was very good .

Nice hotel, remote location
We had a pleasant 4 night stay. The hotel is very clean, the staff are friendly and helpful although not many speak English, our fault for not speaking Portuguese! We didn't eat in the restaurant in the evening as we like going out and about but the breakfasts were of a good standard with cereals, breads, fruit and eggs, sausages, bacon and beans but the same everyday. It is far from any shops, restaurants etc so you do really need a car.

Charming hotel
We chose the hotel as it is close to the beach but not on it (by several miles) and with great views up and down the Atlantic Coast. We also chose the hotel it looked quiet with no an absence of small children which was correct. It is in a bit of a time warp and a good place to go if you want some piece and quiet but also to be able to get out quickly to the beach or sight seeing. The staff are friendly and they serve a good breakfast.
