Tranquilidade e bem estar!!!
Pros:

Propriedade com viės histórico, onde funcionava um convento franciscano, localização especial, fora da área urbana, cercado de plantas, quarto e cama confortáveis, café da manhã excelente, jantar gourmet bom com boa carta de vinho, mas custo elevado. Staff excelente e proativo. Estacionamento em pátio externo descoberto.

Cons:

Duas observações: fechamento do box (banheira) com cortina de plástico é inadimissivel num hotel dessa categoria. Na área interna do hotel, praticamente todas as plantas são artificiais (decoração). O verde e as flores estāo do lado de fora. Uma pena!

Uma estadia luxuosa num edifício histórico.
Pros:

Adorei o edifício! Foi preservado e adaptado de forma muito original e bem feita. É um espaço carregado de história. O quarto era muito agradável, com tudo o que desejaria. Ter piscina foi um bónus.

Cons:

A limpeza na zona da piscina. Os balneários pareciam abandonados, com aranhas enormes. Os chapéus de sol tinham ninhos de vespas, o que achei um pouco preocupante, visto ser alérgica. Para quem pretende visitar Belmonte exclusivamente a pé, este alojamento não será a melhor opção, pois fica afastado.
Achei a banheira bastante alta, os meus filhos e eu tínhamos dificuldade em entrar sem escorregar.
