Ein ganz besonderes Hotel – Stil, Charme und ein traumhafter Meerblick
Pros:

Das Hotel hat einen ganz besonderen Charme. Stilvoll, elegant und doch sehr heimelig. Exponiert auf einem Felsen gelegen hat man vom Zimmer einen tollen Ausblick auf das Meer oder die umliegenden Strände. Das Personal ist wirklich top, jederzeit freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück ist an Vielfalt nicht zu überbieten und der Ausblick aus dem Restaurant verdient noch einmal einen Extra-Punkt. Insgesamt ein wirklich tolles Erlebnis und wir waren bestimmt nicht zum letzten Mal hier. Ganz besonderen Dank für die Gratis-Sonnenbrillen zur Sonnenfinsternis. Das war wirklich ein Super-Service!!

Cons:

Pros:

The location is beautiful and we loved how the ancient fortress was kept intact. Great room, great bed and great breakfast and restaurant

Cons:

The isolation in rooms is not good enough so you can hear a lot the rooms nearby and the corridor. Nice staff but not too friendly and of course it’s too bad the hôtel doesn’t have a pool as it very very difficult to have a decent swim in the beaches nearby (example : playa do Guincho)

Pros:

très bel emplacement sur la plage et les dunes du Grincho entre Sintra et Porto
L'établissement vaut la visite à lui tout seul par sa décoration intérieure
chambre confortable et silencieuse
parking spacieux
petit déjeuner excellent

Cons:

peut-être un peu plus de variété de produits au petit déjeuner

Magnifique pour un séjour de 2 jours!
Pros:

Un emplacement exceptionnel! Petits-déjeuners et restaurant ( le gatronomique) délicieux. Personnel très professionnel!

Cons:

C’est une forteresse, donc il faut accepter qu’il n’y a pas de piscine ni de salle de sport et autres… certaines chambres donnent sur les ventilations des cuisines et autres…. On ne peut pas ouvrir la fenêtre c’est trop bruyant.
