  : location, beautifully decorated, views
  : the wifi was spotty in our room. the router was right outside the door but the thickness of the walls cut the connection. this would be a problem if you had to work.

  : The location in the center of a charming old village with great views on the surrounding mountains and the plain below. The architecture of the building ( an old mansion). Clean and comfortable rooms with A/C. Swimming pool and tennis court on the premises.
  : The orange juice at the breakfast was almost tasteless. Should be replaced by a higher quality juice. Room was not well isolated. One could hear the neighbours at night.

  : The originality of the two older buildings. There was a good choice of breakfast. The location was peaceful, and there were a couple of restaurants nearby for dinner. The room was furnished beautifully and really clean.
  : The long walk between both buildings, including taking 2 lifts the walk along the linking corridor from reception to room, was 4.5 minutes. Although the room was serviced daily, the water wasn't replenished.

  : The location is great, the rooms were comfortable and large in size.
  : The hotel was short in staff, so we had to wait long everytime we needed something from the staff. The pool was not working. The rooms were far from the hotel entrance, which is not convenient.

  : Though hard to find and in the middle of nowhere the hotel is situated in a lovely quiet hamlet called Linhares high up on top of a hill. The peace and tranquility are tangible, especially at night when walking through the narrow streets past the old little houses and around the castle. We also heard numerous cuckoo singing who quite clearly like living in the area away from human beings ! (who can blame them !). There is only one restaurant in the hamlet which apparently is very good but we didn't try it in the end - we opted to drive back down the hill to get food. There is a lovely swimming pool and tennis courts at the hotel and the views from the rooms are superb. Breakfast was excellent with both hot and cold choices as well as numerous local cakes along with fresh fruits. The views from the breakfast room were also magnificent. Parking is available outside the hotel in the central square where the local wild cats will sit and relax underneath your car whilst you unload. Staff were very helpful.
  : Getting to other food outlets/restaurants requires a fairly long car journey back down the hill and beyond !.
