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

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.

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.

Hotel or hospital?

There was a strange feeling that we were in a hospital and not a hotel.
