Excellent accueil par une dame très souriante et serviable.
Piscine très agréable, bien fraiche après une chaude journée.
Bon petit déjeuné.
Seul reproche à faire : isolation phonique insuffisante entre les chambres.
Un merveilleux moment dans un endroit plein de charme et avec des personnes tout aussi merveilleuses. Au fond d’une allée idéal pour être au calme. Un coin détente avec transat et piscine, différents salons dont un avec billard. Un buffet petit déjeune juste ce qu’il faut. Un endroit typiquement portugais et familiale où se sent très vite comme à la maison. Une chambre spacieuse à la propreté irréprochable. Bref nous y retournerons !
Obrigada para todo e ate breve !!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
La struttura bellissima ma nel nulla. Abbiamo trovato la stanza, molto piccola, con una temperatura elevata e senza condizionamento. Le signore della reception parlavano solo portoghese e la colazione era piuttosto scarsa per 10€ al giorno a testa.
Contrairement aux indications, pas de climatisation dans les chambres et pas de chambre pour 4, simplement deux lits d appoints médiocres pour les enfants, réclamation auprès d hôtels.com avec envoi de photos mais à ce jour aucune prise en charge malgré mes photos et attestations transmises
Encantar lugar, para disfrutar .La manera en la que nos han atendido, todo .

This is a quaint rural hotel run by 2 sisters. They speak little English but were accommodating and polite. There was no information pack or explanation about breakfast etc. We didn’t know where to go or times breakfast was served. Breakfast was a continental selection. We were not offered to order anything but saw others with scrambled egg. We had an early flight home.Check out procedure was not explained. Reception was locked up also security gates were locked. It took a while to wake up the staff to get out to catch our taxi transfer. So mention at check in if you need to leave. (Ours was 3.30am) Taxis struggle to find the hotel as there is no signs. We used Uber which was better as you can pin point where it is on the map, they were also cheaper. Fridge in room, hairdryer was available on request. Didn’t eat lunch/dinner here as ate out (toasty kind of food was available)
They own dogs which run free in the external areas of the hotel. Staff try to keep an eye on them and remove them if they are in the way. They seem to be free all the time and bark through the night.
We had bath (jacuzzi one) in our room. Would benefit having a shower.
Very quiet, very laid back. Lovely ladies. Could do with an information pack. We had 5 nights here. Didn’t explore the whole hotel as felt like snooping in someone’s house.
Super séjour, excellent accueil. Petite structure familiale dans cadre rural authentique et raffiné. Très confortable , chambre avec jacuzzi, terrasse, piscine, billard, salons intérieur et extérieur, garage . Extrême gentillesse des propriétaires que l'on quitte à regrets tant on se sent en famille . Très calme car au bout dune petite route qu'un GPS permet d'atteindre facilement
O hotel é bonito e confortável, e os funcionários são muito solícitos e simpáticos. Para que deseja ficar no centro de Braga, não é uma boa opção. Mas, para nós que estávamos de carro, isso não foi um problema. Recomendo muito esse hotel.
Hotel pequeno, de estilo rural familiar. Os proprietários nao sao apenas simpaticos, mas encantadores. Recomendo.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Room comfort
Muy descontenta y decepcionada. Reservé habitación para 3 ADULTOS y me encontré una habitación con dos camas y un colchón en el suelo (sillón individual extensible). Tuve que discutir para que me ofrecieran una solución. Nos dieron otra habitación individual con la puerta del baño estropeada....la categoría de 4 estrellas es una tomadura de pelo....(ni un triste secador en el baño). La distancia al pueblo no son 7 kms....son 21 km!!! Ustedes como distribuidores, deberían de ser más rigurosos con su oferta ...No me ha sucedido con ninguna de sus empresas competidoras y viajó mucho... experiencia ingrata con el hotel y con EXPEDIA
You will need a car and a good GPS to arrive, but once there, you will find a wonderful place, full of peace and quietness, ready to give you 100% high quality relax. It's managed by friendly people ready to help and to make you feel comfortable and relaxed.
The only things to improve:
- some indications to arrive once you are out of the main street
- the shower takes a lot of time to deliver hot water; it's umcomfortable and not sustainable...
Super acceuil. Les gérantes sont extrêmement gentilles et à l'écoute de la clientèle. L'hôtel est très charmant et refait avec goût. Nous avions la chambre du fond dans laquelle nous ne captions pas très bien le wifi. Ceci dit, nous n'en avons pas fait part car cela ne nous gênait pas du fait que nous avons choisi cet hôtel pour se relaxer et se couper un peu du reste du monde. Séjour très reposant ! Petit déjeuner et dîner délicieux, bravo !
The owners clearly take pride in what they do. They were very lovely. It is a small "hotel" with only 10 units so it is pretty quiet. Beds were comfortable but rooms were hot. I would suggest having the window open all day as well as having the air conditioner on. Not your typical hotel and worth a stay for someone looking to add to their Portugal experience.
Meer appartement-sfeer dan hotel, heel ongedwongen
Ontzettend moeilijk (de eerste keer) om te vinden, maar de ligging is heerlijk rustig én echt "rural". Zeer toegewijde en enthousiaste gezusters die het hotel runnen (spreken 3 woorden Engels). Gratis binnen-parkeerplaats in grote garage.
Kamers verschillen, zijn niet super de luxe maar voldoen prima; bedden wel behoorlijk hard. Airco is meer ventilatiesysteem en werkt niet echt verkoelend. Lekker ontbijtbuffet én 's avonds indien gewenst ook lekker diner.
Zwembad is lekker en groot genoeg. Jammer dat bijna alle ligbedden stuk waren...
Un lieu au centre de plusieurs routes et villes à visiter.
L'endroit est très calme, sauf quand des français laissent crier leur gamin dans la piscine ( mais ça, lhôtel n'y est pour rien).
Les personnes qui s'occupent du lieu sont gentilles,faisant tout pour vous faire plaisir.
Le moins: pas de clim dans la chambre, juste une ventilation.
