Tolles historisches Hotel mit Blick auf den tosenden Atlantik
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt traumhaft auf einer Klippe. Von dort kann man zu beiden Seiten zu tollen Stränden laufen. Das Frühstück ist einfach sehr lecker und kreativ gestaltet.

Nas pobyt bol nezabudnutelný a urcite sa sem radi vrátime aj v budúcnosti!
Pros:

Ranjaky boli výborne. Vyhlad na more z nasej izby bol fascinujuci. Personal bol prijemný a ochotný. Verere boli skvele, len by som ocenil menej soli v jedle. Casnici boli pprosfesinalni a priateľskí. Poradili ochotne s výberom jedál.
Na terase sa prijemne sedelo rano i vecer.Pobyt

Pros:

The location is one of a kind, with rooms overlooking the ocean and the beach. The waves continuously hit the shore while surfers do their best. You're a 5min walk to Guincho beach.

The room feel like an old fort padded with comfort.

The staff is attentive while staying discrete. My partner has coeliaque disease; we told them while ordering dinner, and they assured us the cooks would make it their responsibility. We had a card outlining cross-contamination issues, and the importance of ingredients labeled "Might contain gluten"; they took it upon themselves to go photocopy it and provide it to the kitchen. From then on they forthcomingly proposed Gluten-free alterations, including glutenfree bread during breakfast, and all future meals. They prepared especially-cut fruits to avoid cross-contamination.

Cons:

Expensive but worth it

Unique
Pros:

I don't often leave written reviews, but I think this hotel deserves a special mention. Starting with the wonderful location on a cliff overlooking the ocean, you feel like you're staying at the edge of the world.
The restaurant staff were great, professional and friendly, food was delicious and made with great care and taste. The room was fully equipped with comfortable bed and stunning view. Also cleanliness at a very high level.
I think the place is truly unique and fully met all my expectations.
