Pros:

Zeer lekker ontbijt! Fijne tuin! Fijn dat je in vertrouwen een drankje kon nemen uit de frigo's en nadien pas moest afrekenen. Een superfijne dame bij het ontbijt die de beste eitjes voor ons bakte en voor mijn zieke dochter een plateautje maakte om mee te nemen naar de kamer (omdat ze wat langer sliep). Dankje! Dat was heel lief!

Cons:

Nogal wat zakelijke sfeer bij onthaal & bij het langslopen aan de receptie. Wel vriendelijk & bereid om advies te geven, maar wel een beetje terughoudend. Iedereen over het algemeen onder de gasten ook wat op zichzelf.

Relax e viver no coração da natureza
Pros:

Foi uma estadia extremamente calma e relaxante, onde tivemos o privilégio de acordar ao som dos passarinhos e de desfrutar do suave vento a passar pelas oliveiras. Um verdadeiro refúgio de tranquilidade.
A equipa foi excecional: muito simpática, atenciosa e sempre profissional, fazendo-nos sentir verdadeiramente bem-vindos durante toda a estadia.
O restaurante é fantástico e o pequeno-almoço é excelente, com uma seleção de produtos frescos, deliciosos e cheios de sabor.
Adorámos o quarto n.º 12, muito confortável e acolhedor. Sem dúvida, foi uma experiência memorável e iremos voltar!

Cons:

Não achei interesse no SPA com aqueles 3 mini tanques onde a temperatura da água é a única característica a explorar. Sugestão transformarem em jacuzzi ou adaptar jactos de água.

Pros:

Das Hotel liegt direkt am Caminho nach Nazaré. Großzügige fast luxuriöse Zimmer mit Balkon und rundherum Natur pur. Sehr kreative Lampen am Gang und im Speiseraum.
Das Abendessen muss man zwar vorbestellen aber dafür ist es frisch gekocht, ehrlich und einfach köstlich - kulinarisch das absolute Highlight unseres 3-wöchigen Portugalurlaubs!
Auch das Frühstücksbuffet lässt keine Wünsche offen. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt- vielen Dank an die freundlichen Mitarbeiterinnen!

Cons:

Obwohl das Zimmer sehr geräumig ist, gibt es kaum Ablagemöglichkeiten und Möglichkeiten die Kleidung aufzuhängen. Der Architekt hat sich auch keinerlei Gedanken darüber gemacht, dass die Aufhängemöglichkeit für Handtücher über die riesige Badewanne, die eher einem Minipool gleicht, kaum zu erreichen ist.

Pros:

Pequeno almoço!

Cons:

Não gostei do quarto, a vista das fotos enganam, era uma montra para a estrada / parque de estacionamento.
A banheira era desconfortável e fria!
O Spa, não é um SPA, nem consegui ver uma única empregada!
São apenas 3 tanques frios e um morno.
Enfim não vale o valor pago.

Pros:

Wonderful hotel in the mountains, calm location, great rooms with different design. You can rent bikes for free to have short rides across the village of rent e-bikes for the guests elder than 18. There is a wonderful place Grutas de Alvados not far from the hotel, we had a bike ride there with my daughter and were really impressed. the dinner and breakfast were amazing, the stuff was great, the location and landscape were on top. I do really recommend this place for relaxation, family vacation or just to stay during your trips in Portugal. Will definitely come back here again
