As
someone
who
very
rarely
gives
a
five
star
review,
we
can
testify
that,
after
two
visits
to
this
hotel,
this
is
one
hotel
which
truly
merits
all
five
stars.
First,
the
location
of
the
hotel
ticks
almost
every
box
for
us.
The
quiet
valley
provides
walking,
cycling
on
the
former
railway
line,
(Ciclovia
de
Paradela)
interesting
waterfalls
close
by
and
a
real
feeling
of
escape.
The
hotel
boasts
a
fantastic
pool,
finished
with
real
attention
to
detail
using
top
quality
materials.
From
the
pool
there
are
very
nice
views
of
the
surrounding
country
side.
The
accommodation,
in
terms
of
the
quality
of
the
finishes
and
attention
to
detail
of
the
rooms
is
first
class.
I
recommend
one
of
the
detached
houses
which
are
simply
perfect
for
a
family,
but
the
individual
rooms
are
also
excellent.
The
staff
are
some
of
the
most
helpful
we
have
encountered
in
Portugal,
which
is
a
country
of
friendly,
helpful
people
in
general.
They
are
willing
to
go
the
extra
mile
to
help.
When
our
son
needed
to
visit
a
hospital
they
helped
guide
us
there
and
provided
food
very
late
when
we
got
back.
Even
offering
to
find
us
accommodation
near
the
hospital
should
we
need
it.
The
breakfast
compares
very
favourably
to
any
five
star
hotel
I
have
experienced.
The
dining
room
and
bar
have
a
wonderful
terrace
which
is
tastefully
decorated
and
finished.
The
crockery
and
cutlery
is
also
of
the
first
quality.
At
the
moment
they
do
provide
snack
food
at
other
times.
I
hope
a
full
restaurant
will
be
available
for
all
three
meals
soon.
Guests
are
encouraged
to
explore
the
charming
grounds
and
have
the
opportunity
to
purchase
the
farm
produce
which
is
delicious.
My
only
hesitation
in
writing
this
review
is
that
the
hotel
might
be
fully
booked
when
(not
if)
we
want
to
return.
Finally,
the
hotel
is
coping
very
well
with
the
restrictions
placed
upon
them
by
the
current
COVID
19
pandemic
as
far
as
I
can
tell.
We
certainly
felt
very
safe
staying
with
them.
