Estancia por parada en ruta del viaje. Valoración exclusiva de las dos habitaciones. Manifiestamente mejorable el mantenimiento general de las mismas (silicona baños, cercos plato ducha, cristal ducha, balcón sucio, …), en general limpieza diaria aceptable, con falta de mantenimiento. Si bien son pocas escaleras, es decepcionante carecer de ascensor para al menos el traslado de maletas. En resumen precio/instalación muy desequilibrado.

Muito boa estadia, muito sossegado com uma vista fantástica. Edifício com elevador. Piscina de água salgada com manutenção muito boa. O Restaurante tem vinho da casa muito bom recomendo o ensopado de borrego. O mais importante, as pessoas do Hotel são muito simpáticas sempre prontas a ajudar. Apreciem o som do silêncio!

A piscina é muito boa e os funcionários muito simpáticos. Ter um restaurante no próprio hotel com preços muito acessíveis é também uma mais valia. Os quartos do edifício antigo têm realmente um aspeto antigo mas as camas e almofadas são muito confortáveis. O pequeno almoço tem pouca variedade, não existindo também opção de produtos magros A televisão só tinha praticamente os canais portugueses básicos e outros tantos estrangeiros. Como fui com uma criança tinha dado bastante jeito um canal infantil. O espaço geral do hotel também não tem um aspeto muito atrativo. No geral gostei e voltaria a repetir.

Hotel Agradável para Descansar

É um hotel honesto sem pretensões de ser o que não é. É limpo, humilde, com boas condições, com empregados atenciosos, dono super simpático, numa pequena localidade onde não falta boa comida. Não percam um banho na piscina com vista para o nosso Alentejo.

Hotel fazenda como esses bons que temos em Minas Gerais no Brasil. Vista do campo, e o espetáculo é a natureza, nessa época, o balé das Andorinhas. Café-da-manhã nos foi servido no quarto combinado antes, muito cômodo pra quem quer 1 dia de sossego antes de chegar na agitada Lisboa.
