Breathe the fresh air

Stunning private location and venue. We didn’t get much views of the valley from our Turrett room but it was nice to have our own balcony. The AC in the room isn’t that efficient at cooling but other than that, everything was perfect

Lovely, clean, peaceful. And the staff were incredible - we left before breakfast, and they packed us fresh pastries to take with us. They met us at the counter with them at the crack of dawn. What a wonderful experience.

Tired hotel rooms .

Well located hotel and beautiful lobby area. Great staff . Valet parking which is helpful. Our room was extremely small, the towels were old and needed replacing , the bed comfy but pillows were not. I would say the hotel needs a refurb.

Short break

We enjoyed taking my dad to the mountains for his 90th birthday. He'd flown over them so many times to the algarve he wanted to see them up close. The hotel and the scenery didn't disappoint.

Be prepared to eat on site, but the restaurant menu does not offer a lot of choices. bar is located inside the restaurant so it’s a bit awkward. The grounds could be beautiful but look neglected which is a shame. Water in the indoor pool was freezing!!

Erg mooie locatie prachtig uitzicht mooi oud gebouw. Heerlijk binnenbad ook mooi buitenbad maar daar was het te fris voor. Leuke speelkamer met o.a. tafeltennis en tafelvoetbal. Het is fijn dat er een restaurant is maar dat mag wel enigszins verbeterd worden. De prjjs/ kwaliteit is niet in verhouding. Zeer vriendelijk man bij receptie, wij zouden er mits in de buurt zo weer verblijven.
