Staff were so friendly and helpful.
Hotel is in a very rural area, at the top of a huge hill. Youu would need a taxi to go anywhere at all. Pool is very underwhelming. Breakfast was terrible.

The breakfast. The female hotelier was very welcoming.
The bar was not open in the evening to have drinks on the terrace, only if you were eating. A big downside.

Cosy rooms, comfortable beds, nice mountain view from the restaurant
One room was without windows and a/c. Restaurant is closed for Mondays, but administrator advised us a very good place to eat nearby.

I arrived on a Sunday and was surprised to find the locals all go there for Sunday supper because it is such good food. Everyone but the guests were gone before evening and the hotel settled into a quiet night. Wonderful local flavor, out of town with local hiking trails going off into the hills.

I had an amazing view on the hills and the room was very clean. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was really good. The whole hotel seemed well managed!
I also had dinner in the restaurant and It was very delicious! Highly recommended!
The approach to the hotel is a bit narrow, and the walls between the rooms could be thicker, but that didn't bother me too much :)

This place was an unexpected gem. Beautiful views of the valley from the glass elevator and the restaurant, comfortable room with plenty of space for our family of 5, and a fantastic dinner at the restaurant. We had the salmon, the bacalao, and the kids churrasco, all of which were excellent. The breakfast was also delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Parking was easy, even for our large van. We also enjoyed hunting for frogs in the historic fountain across the street. Would definitely stay here again!

The room and view were fantastic.
we landed at 2.00am in the afternoon and no one was on reception until 2.45pm which was fine as you cannot check in until 3.00pm. However there was no where to have a drink and relax. The restaurant shut about 3.30pm and there was no where to sit and have a drink until 7.00pm. we were away from the town so it was to dark to go out.
We had a meal at the hotel but the staff were not very friendly and you didn’t feel comfortable sitting at the table after the meal.

Breakfast was good. Enjoyed the pool.
Couldn't sleep at night because of noise from the restaurant and barking dogs. Sink in the bathroom would not drain and needed to be repaired.

Breakfast was ok, the view was nice and the staff were pleasant. The mini bar was also well stocked and the room was cleaned when requested. The restaurant was also quite nice - albeit there were no options for vegetarians - but it closed at inconsistent times
The location wasn’t ideal so a car was absolutely necessary. The pool was very dirty as it was full of flies / debris every day. The bathroom in the room had a constant unpleasant sewage smell from the pipes and the shower was strong but flooded often because the plug appeared to be full of hairs from previous guests. It was very noisy at night and it was impossible to order food or drinks / use the terrace outside restaurant hours. They also charged us for water each day which given the limited options available to us, seemed unreasonable

Views are spectacular.
Our first room smelled and was mouldy
Our second room shower leaked. We complained but nothing was done!
We found the rooms a little small and had windows looked into by adjacent rooms.
The pool area was poor!
The pool was dirty and needed a refurbishment.
The umbrellas were broken. The shaded area to the back of the pool area were also damaged.
The pool area shower need a spanner to turn on and off.
The hotel is run on a very restaurant centric basis.
While laying on sun beds around the pool you are being overlooked by Resturant diners!
I didn’t want a full sit down lunch. I couldn’t even buy a banana, despite being able to see them in the breakfast area!
