Alireza Portugal

We arrived to book in quite late in the day - we were greeted in a friendly fashion and dealt with efficiently by the receptionist. We requested a kettle and mugs so that we could make tea in the room during our stay and also room service for supper. Both requests were dealt with speedily and the food was good. Breakfast was very good quality too.
