Reserva Florestal Parcial da Serra de S. Barbara e dos Misterios Negros

Nice comfortable Hotel, reasonably priced. Staff are very helpful. The.pool and spa are a good bonus. Location is excellent for walking.

I loved my time here. First and foremost, staff always had a smile and greeting and were ever ready to help me with any queries or bookings. The setting was intimate, with only 18 rooms, with coffee on tap every morning and hot breakfasts cooked to order. The 7.30am start also meant I was fully fed and watered before heading off on a tour, hike, boat trip, etc. My room opened up to the pool area, so I was able to benefit from that either side of the breakfast while letting the coffee kick in (coffee machine in room too). I also frequented the pool area in the afternoons, whether to sit on a rocking chair to read or simply dose off on a sunbed. I also made occasional use of the gym, steam bath, hot tub and sauna too. Finally, this is a very central location which was two minutes from cafes in the squares and park and three or four minutes from a wide range of really good restaurants.
