"The property has stunning views and spacious rooms but lack little things like tissue or a waste basket. Our room wasn’t as clean as I expected with random hair in the bathroom. The bathroom had glass walls which is ok but a door for toilet privacy would be appreciated. The shower floor wasn’t tile but linoleum that gave way as you stepped on in. There is a restaurant and bar. Food was tasty. Did not use the pool or spa. "

"Clean staff is very good."

" A quietly brilliant stay. The welcome was warm without the fuss, the beds were the sink-into-oblivion kind, and the shower actually understood the assignment. Breakfast — light, thoughtful, and included in the room rate — felt like a small act of generosity rather than an upsell. I even left with a pot of local bee pollen from the lounge, because restraint is overrated. Parking was easy, the internet behaved itself, and there’s a supermarket a couple of minutes away for any last-minute cravings. Calm, considered, and doing exactly what it should — beautifully. "

" Everything about our stay was exceptional and truly luxurious. It felt like being in a refined boutique hotel where every detail was thoughtfully curated with impeccable taste. The staff were outstanding—warm, attentive, and made us feel like the most important guests from start to finish. The dining experience was extraordinary, with beautifully curated meals exclusively for guests, adding to the sense of privacy and indulgence. The wine tasting was among the best I’ve ever experienced, with an impressive and memorable selection. If you’re looking for a truly special getaway, I highly recommend this resort. It’s a peaceful haven—almost like stepping into a fairytale. "

"Hotel necessita urgentemente remodelação total, muito antigo, quarto sem comodidades adequadas , nem água de cortesia , atendimento péssimo, deixaram os locais entrarem nos quartos e o nosso disseram que não estava pronto Péssimo café da manhã e jantar horrível sem categoria e atenção No máximo 2 estrelas de categoria A única vantagem é que fica dentro da muralha Almeida e tem estacionamento "

"Food was amazing, cleanliness very good and comfort was also good my only complaint would be service, Fawlty towers springs to mind for those of you that remember it, service was painfully slow. It's quite a secluded place and great if you just want to relax we found it to be more akin to an old folks home tbh but it didn't bother us as we weren't there during the day, the pool would have been good if it was clean though.

"I recently stayed at this hotel and, unfortunately, it wasn’t the most comfortable experience. The room itself was just okay—basic but functional. However, it didn’t feel very clean. There was an awful smell in the room that never went away. There were visible marks on the walls, a stale smell, and the bathroom could definitely use a more thorough scrubbing. What really put me off, though, was the general atmosphere. Some of the other guests seemed… off. A few were lingering in the hallways at odd hours, and there were loud conversations late at night right outside my room. I didn’t feel unsafe, exactly, but I didn’t feel totally relaxed either. The staff was polite but not particularly attentive. I wouldn’t say this is the worst place I’ve ever stayed, but I probably wouldn’t return unless there were major improvements in both cleanliness and guest screening."

"Friendly exceptionally clean hotel with wonderful menu for dinner. Good wine list at friendly prices. The bed was a medical grade mattress which was a bit too firm for us. All in all a wonderful place to stay not far from Portugal Spanish border. Listing did not say that whilst it was off a listed road it was not now the main road so was quiet.Hotel refurbished a year or so ago and is popular with locals always a good sign "
