A beautiful location with views all the way up and down the coastline. Gorgeous! The staff are extremely friendly and the breakfast buffet is excellent. We were walking from the Coastal Camino to the Central Portuguese and took a small detour from our route along the cycling path from Póvoa de Varzim to stay here. It’s a little out of the way but very doable for walkers, and from what I hear, a little longer but better than the other crossover routes.

For walkers, it’s isolated on a large hilltop. There is still carpet in the rooms which seems kind of dated, and the pool locker rooms were being remodeled. Otherwise although an older facility, it seems like it is well cared for.

The hotel was perfect for a 5 day break in Portugal, located in the countryside it has spectacular views around the surrounding area, over treetops, woodland and you can see to the sea. The staff are very attentive and helpful, the hotel is very clean and tidy and the pool area is perfect. I had a car for the stay and was able to travel to Porto and Braga with relative ease. I would highly recommend the hotel, it was a thoroughly pleasant experience.

Lovely hotel in a beautiful, quiet location. Very friendly and polite staff everywhere, lovely swiming pools and sufficient sunbeds. Breakfast is good. Must say the restaurant was the best part of our trip. Amazing dishes, good ambience, you can have your dinner indoors or outdoors.

Being a 4-start hotel, there are a few things that must be improved. We stayed in a Superior room, but A/C was too noisy to use at night (even in slowest mode), our mattress and pillows were really hard, and wifi on the room was very weak/intermittent.

The hotel sits atop a hill with spectacular views out over the flats and to the Atlantic. It also allows for nice little walks around the close vicinity and is far from any through-roads or traffic, so really a place to relax. Probably often overlooked but higly recommendable as an alternative to a hotel directly on the beach or further inland.

The overall design could make do with a refurb, and some parts of the building need a pain job or a little more maintenance, but this is noserious concern.

Exceptional view on the plain and sea direction, a hotel from the 1920-30's. Excellent reception by the chief receptionist who speaks French very (I am French )

Maybe slightly isolated in the mountains.. but that's why I chose it. Yet if you are looking for activities and action, it's not here. Maybe they could have plugs by the windows. So one could work on the laptop in the lobby

Everything!! The views, the pool, dinner, breakfast and all for a reasonable price. Great getaway if walking on the Camino especially if switching between Coastal and Central. Did I mention the balcony and views?

Honestly nothing. I guess if I would improve anything it would remove carpet from rooms and put in a hard floor.

property is lovely and in a fabulous location. it’s very clean and has breathtaking views of the local area out toward the sea. the food was very good just not much variation when you are there all week, also limited breakfast if you don’t want pastry or bread. there was a couple of cereal items and some fruit the hot breakfast items are scrambled egg, sausage and bacon.

The beds were really firm, dinner is served really late

I enjoyed the view and overlooking the city along with the ocean, the staff were amazing and very friendly. They were very patient with me when i was confused or not sure about things.

I do think the decor needs a little updating as it is a little old fashioned but that is charming in its own right to be fair. The games room needs updating for new games or pool table etc.

Exceptional view and facilities. Very quiet room, with very good sound isolation from the exterior for a good sleep. Very comfortable stay.

Wi-fi coverage inside the room was poor and limited work capacity. Full breakfast starts at 08:00 only. As I was in work and have to leave early, this limited the possibility to enjoy all the foods.

Location was excellent with amazing views. Good swimming pool and wonderfully friendly staff.

Nowadays we need more electric plugs in the rooms and we would have liked some water, plus glasses, and a kettle with tea making facilities for first thing in the morning.
