Lovely green area around the hotel with swimming pool. Very quiet area. Wonderful breakfast with lots of fresh fruit. Very clean and welcoming. My only complaint would be that the mattress was very in comfortable (feeling the springs) it is definitely time for a new one.

We would have liked a more powerful shower head rather than a “wand” in the shower. Also, hotter water would be great after a long day of hiking.

Beautiful hotel in rural setting. Owner Miguel reserved our Acoura 516 bridge tickets as our international charge card was not accepted. The continental buffet breakfast was delicious and freshly served. We enjoyed the fireplace in the evening which Miguel started each evening. If we return to the area to hike we will definitely stay here again. It was impressively clean and staff (his family :) friendly.

Le calme de l'établissement. Le fait d'avoir un balcon qui donne sur la forêt. La literie est confortable. La chambre est spacieuse. Le petit dej est copieux. Le personnel est aux petits soins.

Informação errada sobre Hotel, nomeadamente a existência de restaurante o que não se verificou.
Ginásio com 3 máquinas, as 3 claramente inoperacionais ou danificadas.
Quarto sem secador de cabelo, luz de entrada a não funcionar, televisão a falhar , foi possível verificar o cabo de TV partido.
Pequeno almoço muito bom e delicioso, simpatia do staff muito bom, local bem calmo .

El alojamiento está en un lugar fantástico, lleno de naturaleza y muy bien cuidado con flores por todos lados. La piscina no la toqué, no estaba el tiempo para piscina. Las habitaciones son amplias, cómodas y limpias. El desayuno está bien y el trato super familiar. Como en casa.

Destaco la tranquilidad y la belleza de las vistas. Un buffet del desayuno estupendo y una piscina que en los días de calor nos vino de maravilla.
El detalle a la salida de una caja de dulces típicos fue el remate ideal de una estancia inolvidable.
Desde ahí hicimos la ruta por los Pasadizos del Paiva y el Puente Colgante 516.

Muito acolhedor com excelente qualidade de infra estruturas, receção super simpática e disponibilidade de ajuda incrível. Pequeno almoço maravilhoso na versão take-way devido á hora que nos iríamos ausentar por motivos de participação de prova desportiva.
Quarto amplo com vista e acesso a relvado, camas individuais generosas, casa de banho com espaço.
