Excellent stay. The staff members were very friendly and helpful. We only stayed one night before heading to Geres but the longer stay would have been very nice too.

We stayed 2 days at this hotel in our vacation. We had a nice spacious room with view to the river. It was clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful. Parking next to the hotel. A good starting point when exploring this part of Portugal.

The hotel is situated by a beautiful bridge over a river. The room was ok, but the carpet under the bed was encased in sharp metal which hurt the feet. The sheet was not wide enough to cover the bed and I was quite cold.

Room was great, so clean, so roomy. The staff was great and breakfast excellent. And we love the cats next door to property. Beautiful cats and need to be cared for. If hotel set up a donation box at check in, this money could be used to neuter and vaccinate at local vet. Many people loved the cats as us and would donate for sure

El hotel es precioso, situado al lado del paseo del río, en el centro del pueblo. Está muy cuidado. Por ponerle una pega: ya estaba con el servicio de limpieza de habitaciones a las 08:45 hrs, en domingo, y nos despertaron.

Cama desconfortável. Deixam no quarto somente um sabonete de barra e precisei solicitar a recepção outro para deixar na pia do banheiro! Não deixam touca para banho e o secador de cabelo é ruim! Café da manhã com poucas mesas pois não colocam a disposição as mesas externas - custo de 10 euros/pessoa! Fornecem uma garrafa pequena de água e cápsulas de chá e café como cortesia.

Hôtel calme, bien situé avec parking privé.Très bon accueil du personnel, très à l'écoute, conseils pour les restaurants, parlant français. Grande chambre. Grand lit double trop ferme avec perception des ressorts. Machine à café Nespresso dans la chambre avec 6 capsules appréciées (2 expresso, 2 décaféinés, 2 infusions), mais uniquement à disposition pour la 1ere nuit et non renouvelé ensuite quelque soit le nombre de nuits passées, sauf à payer un supplément...dommage !
