to get started.

The situation of the Hotel, the food, the room. It is not the first time that I went to that Hotel so it was a choice that made.

Antonio, Portugal

Excellent view over part of the town and hills beyond. Good breakfast to satisfy all tastes Free secure parking.

Peter, France

very comfortable hotel, friendly and competent staff, excellent buffet dinner. This hotel is highly recommended!

Dieter, Portugal

Staff is very welcoming and friendly. Were very helpful. Offered free parking on premises.

Yogi, Israel

The hotel is branded as 3 * and is probably at the higher end of that rating. Rooms fine, beds comfortable, bathroom well appointed (apart from no make up mirror for wife!). Breakfast was reasonable and free street parking outside hotel. All in all quite good. We paid 78€ which was fair for the conditions.

Nigel, Portugal

Very well designed en suite bedroom with plenty of space for everything. The bonus was a lovely view and very nice meals - breakfasts and dinners. Friendly, courteous and helpful staff. Use of a garage.

William, United Kingdom

secure parking under hotel. View from bedroom and dining room. Quality and choice of food.

Peter, United Kingdom

Food tasty, bed comfy, clean, friendly helpful staff.

Sylvia, Canada

Clean, comfortable, large rooms. Restaurant has superb food at very reasonable prices. Views are stunning. Secure garage available if required.

Carol, United Kingdom

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was quiet and clean. It is very central and easy to find with a lot of parking in front of the hotel so not necessary to pay garage space. Lovely view from restaurant and room.
