Very interesting historical museum hotel. The hotel is well maintained for its age, felt like going back in time a bit. Our group was impressed by how well-kept and clean it is, everything was sparkling clean.

Beautiful looking property but RED flags appeared immediately upon arrival. Wifi was broken on first day. Hot tub is not hot. You have to pay extra for sauna. Have to leave a deposit for pool towel. Bed is uncomfortable. Extremely hard. First morning breakfast, automatic coffee machine was broken but they wouldn’t provide coffee using the $5k machine at the bar. Threaten to charge people who take an extra piece of fruit with Them when they leave breakfast buffet. These signs are disappointing. Never experienced this before at any hotel with this star rating.

Very nice smaller hotel with good facilities. Pool and Jacuzzi are very nice. Sauna costs extra, which is not indicated at the time of the reservation, but worth it. Room included an excellent continental breakfast and dinner was also very good. Would definitely recommend. December is low season and it was quiet.

Nice location in the mountains, great starting point. Value for money is very good, the room was comfortable. There is a newly renovated pool area with jacuzzi and sauna which was nicer than in some 5 star hotels. The breakfast was ok for a few days, it’s nothing special. Staff very friendly. When you’re looking for an affordable place to stay for a few days, this is the place for you.

Solar de Boaventura Peaceful, Tranquil, Relaxing

The staff was welcoming, the hotel is very clean, the food and the Chef are amazing! Everyone was pleasant and willing to help whenever required. The grounds around the hotel are beautiful and peaceful. There are nooks and crannies with benches, tables, chairs to sit and relax. The indoor pool is huge. The view from the hotels magnificent with mountains, mist and beautiful scenery. You MUST experience this hotel!
As a vegan it's awesome to find staff and Chef working to create a dessert for me Orange Juice Cake!

Very nice located hotel with a lush garden, great swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna. Nice service, pretty good restaurant. We booked a double bed room for 81 Euros/Night and got one in the old part with a bit outdated furniture and no balcony. Surprisingly the hotel was a bit clairaudient. That was okay for us but the mattress was horrible: when your partner turned in the (narrow) bed you almost fell out of it. Furthermore the pillows were way too small and soft. The bathroom was okay, but there was a smell coming out of the sink. The breakfast was disappointing: really really standard, except some fruits nothing fresh. The bred and croissants tasted nothing. The coffee was good. So overall I recommend when you book there to insist to get a room in the newer part, where the beds are hopefully better.
