"I recently stayed at this hotel and, unfortunately, it wasn’t the most comfortable experience. The room itself was just okay—basic but functional. However, it didn’t feel very clean. There was an awful smell in the room that never went away. There were visible marks on the walls, a stale smell, and the bathroom could definitely use a more thorough scrubbing.
What really put me off, though, was the general atmosphere. Some of the other guests seemed… off. A few were lingering in the hallways at...
"Lovely old building in the centre of town, full of charm and character.
We were on a B&B basis, the breakfast was varied and good quality.
The hotel is easy to get to and there's plenty of parking available locally, both paid and free.
Only one little criticism would be the air conditioning in our room, very weak."
"The hotel opened less than a year ago and offers spotless accommodations. It's decorated in a modern fashion and very tastefully. We arrived after a rather long car trip and had no energy to drive to town to find a restaurant for dinner. They prepared vegetable soup, bread, cheeses, jams, and fruits for us, all of the best quality you can see, and all prepared at the property with ingredients from the property.
All in all and excellent experience to be repeated."

What really put me off, though, was the general atmosphere. Some of the other guests seemed… off. A few were lingering in the hallways at odd hours, and there were loud conversations late at night right outside my room. I didn’t feel unsafe, exactly, but I didn’t feel totally relaxed either.
The staff was polite but not particularly attentive. I wouldn’t say this is the worst place I’ve ever stayed, but I probably wouldn’t return unless there were major improvements in both cleanliness and guest screening."
"Fantastic hotel, but the air conditioning had limited control, meaning we had to go to reception at 3am to get it switched back on as the room was very hot.
Restaurant is superb quality, not cheap but worth treating yourself, the tiramasu is an experience. "
"Our stay at the hotel was great ,the staff were very approachable and could not help enough. We had meals in the restaurant on both nights and the food was excellent. Must mention our waiter on both nights he was excellent his Name was Samuel great character. The hotel is a great location if you're traveling down from santander to the algarve for a stop over. "
"The house is simply perfect. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s a village house exterior with a perfectly modern interior. The host was very responsive to an issue I created when I locked the keys inside!
If you’re looking for quiet relaxation, this property and this village are absolutely perfect.perfect.somgood walks "
