Desilusão

A receção do Solar foi muito rápida, sem explicações, simpatia e paguei um quarto duplo superior e colocaram-me num quarto duplo normal. Poderia ter poupado 10 euros.

Fantastisk lille hotel.

Et fantastisk lille hotel i middelalder byen Trancoso. Hotellets personale er meget venlige og serviceminded. Dejlig frisk morgenmad hver dag. Værelserne rengjort dagligt, og sengene redt. Dejligt fredeligt pool område med liggestole mv. Et hotel der ligger i centrum, hvor der er 20 m til kaffe på torvet, 40 meter til en kold øl og flere restauranter inden for komfortabel gå afstand.

Lo recomiendo, volvería

Todo positivo: la limpieza, el personal, la decoración de las zonas comunes, la piscina, la climatización, la situación... Por decir algo menos favorable, en nuestra habitación el armario era muy pequeño y había una cama supletoria que hacía incómodo el acceso. El desayuno estaba muy bien pero el menú no varió en los días que estuvimos allí.

Incontournable étape dans cette ville historique.

Mieux qu’une maison d’hôte , il s’agit plutôt d’une demeure de charme . Décoration soignée avec de nombreux petits détails symboliques. Literie excellente, chambre spacieuse et très propre . La personne de l’accueil n’ aime pas les français a cause de Napoléon ! Dommage ce fut le bémol de notre séjour …
