Lovely views but a few small points for improvemen

A small quibble, it would be nice to be given a free bottle of water every day when the room is cleaned rather than just on your first night. Small things make a difference. Also the restaurant cover charge of €4 per head is rather pricey and was imposed even though they didn’t provide gluten free bread as requested so one of us couldn’t even eat any of it. However the views are stunning and the pool is lovely.

A true paradise, unmatched in my 40+ years' travel

Just an hour from city of Porto, high atop hills that look down a lake that fills the green valley, this hotel has no parallel in my 40+ years of travel. Well-appointed rooms, gentle and always available staff, a cosy bar, social room, lounge...All you could ask for. Sleep with window open, wake to the song of birds. Swim in the pool, or take the tightly snaking steep road down to the lake for sport. Or, go hike in the mountains that abut the Spanish border, explore the rich forests, unique landscapes strewn with granite boulders rounded by wind and rain over billions of years...This is paradise, and the hotel is your home.
