Amazing views of the valley from the hotel. Friendly staff (and cat !). Having a car useful as it's a very steep walk to/from the seafront. Great breakfast.
Amazing staff! Good facilities and pool! Only minus is cleniness. Trouble with our sink, asked three times, noone came and fixed it. The showercurtains had bad smell.
A very good stay but a few issues which the receptionist Joanna sorted quickly and efficiently. The restaurant and hot tube/sauna which were supposed to be open by 1st September were still closed by 1st October. Car park is small and sometimes had to park on road.
This place holds up to the cleanliness values! Keep up the fantastic job. Best part overall though, is the location this property is at. Essentially close enough to go to Sao Vicente and Port Moniz in no time (by car) but by walking would be challenging but easy! Just be careful of the cats in the area, they tend to sleep under your vehicle. Also for amenities, it’s great, just needed more modernized fitness equipment for me personally. I will recommend this place and hopefully come back! Thanks again to the wonderful front desk services!
Not 4-stars!
No chef, no bar staff. A terrible dinner for which we waited 110 minutes. The chef left 6 months ago and they're using her assistant.
While most staff were kind, many needed training and support. They're expected to cover reception, bar, waitressing. We felt bad for them.
Expect to wait aaaages for a drink.
Management: Employ a chef and bar staff and look after your staff better.
The gym is unhygienic with broken AC and no means of cleaning mats or equipment.
The pool is unsighly with missing tiles, green from algae and there are insufficient parasols. Nobody bothers to arrange the sun-loungers in the morning.
A feeling grew during our 9-day stay of not being looked after, of management paying lip-service to the guests experience and directors only interested in money.
We had to ask for shower gel daily as the maid failed to replace empties. We were given half-used bottles by reception staff and felt a burden for asking.
Upon arrival our room lacked AC and reception tried to fob us off. Our eventual room had a broken towel hook and dodgy balcony door. We awoke to the neighbouring cockerel.
The hotel is in a beautiful setting, close to lovely spots, but fails to achieve a 4-star standard and feels tired. A few licks of hastily-applied paint won't suffice. It clearly has problems.
Our disappointing stay was made worse by the manager not responding to our complaint as promised. Very poor.
We won't return and we don't recommend this hotel.
Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und das Hotel ist sehr sauber. Das Frühstück war super und der Kaffee war sehr lecker. Absolut zu empfehlen.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Hotel was alright, ended up finding bed bugs on our clothes and bites on our legs after staying here. Also, the old manager that works the front desk offers terrible service. Talking to her felt like I was bothering her and she
Ich hatte eine fantastische Zeit in diesem Hotel.
Es ist aehr idyllisch und ruhig gelegen, dennoch erreicht man in ein paar Minuten den im Ort gelegenen Supermarkt und entlang der Küste einige wohlschmeckende Restaurants.
Hotel autentique au charge désuet, au calme sur la cote nord, bien situé pour les visites et les randonnees, services de qualité. On recommande sans hésiter.
Das Hotel liegt wirklich toll und idyllisch, gegenüber immer sichtbar die tolle weiße Spitzen-Kirche. Leider sind bei einigen, so auch unserem, Zimmer die Klimaanlagen ausgefallen. Es wurde mehrere Tage notiert, dann ein Techniker geschickt, mit den Schultern gezuckt... aber der angefragte Zimmerwechsel wurde aus Kapazitätsgründen verneint. Dafür wurde neue Kunden, auch nur für eine Nacht dorthin begleitet. In Anbetracht des feuchten Klimas der Insel sind nasse Sachen ohne Klimaanlage nur mit einem Mini-Ölradiator unmöglich zu trocknen. Alle Kleidung im Schrank, im Koffer und im Zimmer waren morgens klamm. Uns wurde angeboten, sie vor dem Anziehen morgens in einen Trockner an der Rezeption zu legen. Wie süß, aber absolut unpraktisch. Bei unserem 9tägigen Aufenthalt gab es absolut KEINE LÖSUNG. Morgens war das Wasser am Zimmerfenster von INNEN.
Das Essen(tägliches 3Gänge-Menü) war für 20€/Person schmackhaft und ein großes Lob an die Küche. Der ältere Herr der Frühstückscrew war sehr umsichtig und bemüht, schnell aufzufüllen. In seiner Abwesenheit waren Fotos für Insta oder Facebook wichtiger als ein nachgefülltes Buffet. Der Pool war immer sauber und vorbereitet. Die angebotene Sauna für 5€/Person/Stunde wurde 1x von uns genutzt, aber bitte bis 19Uhr anmelden, denn danach kann niemand den Schalter drehen/anschalten, was keine Flexibilität zeigt, zumal bei nur einer 2Mann-Kabine mit defekten Liegen(die schnell reparierbar wären) ohne Service eine Zeitbegrenzung seltsam anmutet.
Mycket trevlig vistelse på det stora hela. Fuktiga rum där kläderna aldrig torkade, högljudd ventilation (ta med öronproppar). Tog en evighet att fylla badkaret. Söt katt (som var både hungrig och törstig).
Das Hotel hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Das Personal ist aufmerksam und zuvorkommend. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Frühstück bot eine sehr grosse Auswahl. Zimmer waren groß mit Balkon. Ruhige Lage
Wir kommen jederzeit gerne wieder.
