The receptionist was really helpful and welcoming. There is actually no bar at the hotel, which was a downside for us. Well located with a good restaurant nearby.

Villa vicosa

Fin miljö inne med mkt olika konstverk som var till salu. Närma till restauranger och sevärdheter. Modern Interiör på hotellet. Gratis the med kakor i en lounge. Tyvärr inget kaffe. Bra utbud på t kanaler. Fanns discovery då jag inte är så duktig på portugisiska. Vatten på karaff på rummet. Varmt vatten i duschen och luftvärmepump som gav bra värme. Ljudsystem som spelade både i rummet och badrummet. Bra frukost även om jag saknade bönorna till Bacon och äggröran. Kunde göra egen apelsinjuice i maskin om man ville. Den färdiga som också fanns var sådär. Fanns glutenfria produkter och även laktosfria. Olika regionala ostar var kul att prova på . Fanns även olika korvar från lokala producenter. Flera olika sorters bröd och äntligen lite mörkt bröd. Fanns pannkakor och flera olika sorters flingor och tillbehör till dem. Flera sorters olika kakor och croissanter och sockerkaks liknande produkter. Kaffe i egen stor termos och kaffemaskin för övriga tex cappuccino. Tyvärr ingen hiss till första våningen. Men personalen bar upp och ner våra väskor eller var det att de hade en hiss för enbart väskor. Var skönt att slippa släpa uppför trappan iallafall. Stor innergård med en pool som dock var stängd för säsongen. Var där i december och plus 18 ute så det var inget jag saknade. Wifi var väldigt svajigt och långsamt och man fick logga in flera gånger. Funkade bättre tidigt på morgonen så antagligen kapaciteten var för liten eller för få förstärkare. Okej pris och vänlig personal.
