Nice hotel property but would have preferred the main residence versus guest house situated a short distance away. Room was very clean, pool area was well maintained. Walkable to most everything. Staff was very helpful. Parking could be problematic during peak season. Great breakfast buffet.

Highly Recommend! I recently had the pleasure of staying at this location and the property exceeded all expectations! It was immaculately clean, tastefully decorated. The bed was incredibly comfortable. The location was perfect—close to everything, peaceful and quiet. The breakfast was the best I have ever had at any hotel. With lots of choices and a change of items every day. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again or recommend it to friends and family. If you’re considering a stay here, don’t hesitate—you won’t regret it! Thank you,for a trouble free experience!

The room was very clean, spacious and well equipped. The breakfast buffet was varied and excellent. We didn’t try the pool as it was too cold during our stay ( october). The location is excellent, you can walk to the beaches nearby and to the old city center. Therés also a surprising amount of good restaurants 2-4 minutes walking distance, try the Palacio da China nearby if you want a change from Portuguese cuisine. The Spar supermarket just down the road is fairly large and offers a great selection of wines, cheese and snacks at good prices.

This hotel‘s name says it all. Once we checked in and were able to explore the hotel we were captivated. It really was as beautiful as the pictures. It’s a very small property, but every inch of it seems thoughtfully designed and all details are well maintained. The staff were kind and helpful. The breakfast each morning could not have been higher quality and more diverse. The courtyard you get to enjoy it in was one of those places you usually only see in a magazine, not experience in real life. It’s not a big hotel and it’s not smack in the center of the old town, but it is well situated to both old town as well as the beach. The space in the room was perfect and the beds were comfortable.
