This is a very modern and nice hotel with spa facilities and a large and well equipped gym. The location is a small drive outside the concentrated town center. There is both an indoor and outdoor pool and the latter is heated. The breakfast variety is small but sophisticated. Easy free parking in front of the hotel.

This hotel is fabulous - the facilities the rooms, the staff.

Excellent value for money. Rooms are perfect. Easy to reach once arriving by car from Porto. One minor point: the command of english language of the people at the reception could be improved.

The rooms are lovely very modern with good facilities including large indoor and outdoor pool and well equipped gym... More
