Pros:

Gostamos da vista e do pequeno almoço.

Cons:

Fomos passar o fim de semana em fevereiro. Estava muito frio o ar condicionado não estava a funcionar e a opção que nos ofereceram foi um termo ventilador que fazia menos barulho.

Pros:

Superbe emplacement avec vue sur le lac et les montagnes de l'algarve, chambre tres confortable, trs bon accueil (basse saison) et excellent petit dejeuner

Cons:

Dommage qu'il n'y ait plus de restaurant pour diner
Ecart de prix entre la vue sur le lac et les montagnes semble tres eleve en basse saison quand l'hotel est presque vide

Received by a very kind and generous host, who made all efforts to make us feel at home and catered for. The room with a
Pros:

Positioned on a hilltop overlooking the Santa Clara dam lake, surrounded by bush and forest, enjoying the serenity of a low populace area, giving ample room for bird calls and insect chirping. Majestic

Cons:

During the ‘low season’ there seems to be less reason to offer the full restaurant amenities which are mentioned on the hotel website. Understandable. Looking for alternative addresses within a 10-15 km radius, one finds that the options are equally thin.

Pros:

Es sind so absolut liebevoll Menschen... Ihr Slogan war stets "fühlen Sie sich wie zu Hause"... Bin alleine gereist und habe mich sehr gut aufgehoben gefühl.

Cons:

Das Hotel ist leider schon etwas älter... Und die Kuche zwar abends eigentlich geschlossen und man musste schon ein wenig unerfahren um eine Taverne zu finden, die auf hatte. Sie sind aber sehr liebevoll und machen einem einen Snack. Weiß nicht wie es in der Hauptsaison ist.
