Guest Review: Very friendly service. The room was stunning! In a great part of the city, near the university and the aqueduct, and not too far from the waterfront. All for a very reasonable price!
Guest Review: The decor is fresh and contemporary. Views over the valley are lovely. The whole place is spotlessly clean and the staff are superb. We had a smooth check in and then a tour of the facilities including a free glass of wine when we were settled and ready. The bed is super comfy, best pillows we’ve had on our tour of Portugal!! The breakfast is fabulous, fresh and flavoursome produce. The spa is lovely and facial was fabulous, they even accommodated a late check out for us as the only availability for the treatment was 11.45. The relaxation space in the spa is beautiful with excellent views. Town is about a 20 min walk down hill and a €5 taxi ride back up ;) Thank you for a great stay.
