Excellent apart from the ants
Room 301 in the main house is a lovely room with Juliet balcony and separate large outdoor terrace. The room is spacious with two armchairs and very comfortable bed. This would have been a top-notch five-star rating had it not been for the invasion of a few thousand ants. It took me and the horrified housekeeping staff an hour to clean them from a bag and the chair it was on. The dismissive response from the front desk was "oh yes, they come in when it rains."

Ok Hotel but needed improvement to be a 4star hote
I spent two days in the hotel. Considerations: 1.Sauna not working and No instruction on how make it work,só instructions could improve. 2. massage need to be booked 24h in advance, which is fine but sometimes you just need in the next few hours which would be nice 3. Smell of the aromatic essences could be more neutral - the smell was bothering so much that made me wake up several times on the first night until I get used to it. Honestly, it shouldn’t be needed those kind of aromas 4. Noise, the guest on the next room was sick and sneezing the whole second night, the room should have acoustics treatment 5. They do not provide conditioner, I would expect that from a 4 star hotel - so bring your own 6. Breakfast. Could be much better, specially the juices, they could be fresh and not box. Coffee is very week, so on the second night I decided to order something else instead of having their filtered coffee. 6. Croissant and pain au chocolate should be fresh, Food options could be more authentic and explore the Portuguese coiousine it is fine to have French or English breakfast if they are well made, the pastel de nata was delicious. I would recommend they order authentic things from a padaria (cassetinho for instance)
