Pros:

Fantastische Lage, qualitativ hochwertiges Frühstück, tolles und aufmerksames Personal.

Cons:

Das es keinen Pool gibt, das wussten wir. Man hatte unser aber erzählt, dass wir in den 3 km entfernten Health Club vergünstigt Zutritt haben. Dort wusste man nichts von so einer Vereinbarung und wir mussten 30 Euro zahlen pro Person.
Leider hat auch der Abfluss im Bad extrem gestunken.

Affascinante struttura fortilizia direttamente sulla scogliera
Pros:

L'albergo mostra tutto il fascino della vecchia struttura fortilizia, affacciata sulla scogliera e con una vista mare bellissima. La colazione è super, con vasta scelta e eccellente qualità. La sala breakfast/cena vanta grandi vetrate con affaccio sul mare spettacolare. L'arredamento interno, seppur molto curato presen

Cons:

L'arredamento interno, seppur si percepisca molto curato, non è particolarmente intonato alla storia della struttura, un insieme di stili architettonici non perfettamente coordinati. Avendo prenotato una stanza vista mare che in realtà era vista strada con piccolo spicchio di mare, abbiamo chiesto cambiamento (proposta junior suite), inizialmente ci hanno detto che sarebbe costata 50 euro in più, poi diventati alla fine 120. La vista mare era ottima ma 370 euro per una notte in questa struttura - pur apprezzandone l'aspetto storico - non rappresentano un buon rapporto qualità prezzo rispetto ad altre strutture similari viste in Portogallo o in altri paesi europei.

We had a large bit of magic during our stay.
Pros:

The location is superb. The hospitality and fine cuisine was of the most highest standard. The Atlantic breathed outside our balcony and gave the whole visit an air of wonder. Must go again

Nothing
