Was in a unique and very convenient location with great aesthetics. The room had high ceilings, was attractive and comfortable. The service wasn't as helpful or warm as in other locations stayed at in Portugal.

Great hotel!

Loved the hotel! Service was excellent. The only criticism we have is that there is zero signage - we circled three times before we finally stopped a police officer to help us.

Place was unique. Room was spacious and uniquely designed. The only window was up some stairs and you couldn't really see out of it. There was an art gallery and book store next to the hotel on the property which were very nice.

Outside of the property was beautiful . Property was nice but a bit dated inside. Food choices were very limited - only 2 places to eat - the formal dining room - super expensive or the bar/lounge area . Dinner in the formal dining room starts at 8:30 pm which is a bit too late for our liking and the lounge area had a very very limited menu at expensive prices - the menu offers only sandwiches and they come with absolutely nothing - just a sandwich for 20 euros and nothing comes with it . I would not stay there again unless you want to be taken hostage by the hotel . Dining room and lounge staff were unfriendly but front desk were very courteous .
