Good location. Hotel is looking a bit tired. Door missing of the wardroom the room also. Staff were nice and breakfast was good also.
Lovely hotel located near the top for the mountain. Clean and safe hotel with parking. There is also a pool table and a sitting area to chill. Breakfast was included.

I have been in better hotels before! Staff are very friendly 5 stars staff but the hotel needs new mattresses and renovations
Spectacular views. Very clean and comfortable. Up a very long and windy, steep road so didn't want to venture back out and ate dinner at the hotel. Food was good enough but rather pricy for what you got. Breakfast was spectacular though.

Quiet
Quiet location- its an hour walk into Covilha town, although tracks are difficult. (Taxi return advisable!!)
Nice place with great view. Note that the pool is not heated. The staff is very friendly. The rooms are clean but the shower is awkward hard to not get water on the floor. I would return.
Location - great views over the city, but there is nothing nearby, so need a car to access any shops (there is a shuttle bus to the city that passes by a number times a day)
Service - excellent, especially from Bernardo on reception.
Accommodation - very comfortable, large bathroom, views over the pool to the city
Eating - full breakfast was excellent. There is a restaurant on site.
Wi-fi - excellent throughout
Summary - recommended

Staff were very helpful, got great tips from them on local restaurants. What we booked on Expedia wasn't exactly what they had but the staff worked hard to get us as close to exactly what we thought we had booked. The pool is absolutely lovely but very cold which was surprising as it's not very deep and we thought that sunlight alone would make it much warmer.
Could do with a refresh but otherwise good. Expedia needs to update name of the hotel and address. Local rental car GPS cannot find it and takes one on a crazy rote through narrow city streets made for donkeys. I’m
No geral ficámos satisfeitos com a estadia. Funcionários muito prestáveis e simpáticos. Quarto limpo e confortável. Pequeno almoço com oferta variada. Piscina e espaço envolvente muito agradável.
O aspeto menos positivo teve que ver com a entrada de muita luz pela janela durante a noite e sobretudo a partir do nascer do sol. Os cortinados não cumprem com a função. Esta realidade impediu-nos de dormir em condições ( quarto 410).

Quarto razoável, mas apenas com duas almofadas e muito baixas; o Bar foi o mais fraco que encontrei até à presente data, incluindo até os de 3 estrelas, sem uma simples tosta ou amendoins para acompanhar cerveja. Como positivo os funcionários, todos muito simpáticos.
