Lovely views but a few small points for improvemen

A small quibble, it would be nice to be given a free bottle of water every day when the room is cleaned rather than just on your first night. Small things make a difference. Also the restaurant cover charge of €4 per head is rather pricey and was imposed even though they didn’t provide gluten free bread as requested so one of us couldn’t even eat any of it. However the views are stunning and the pool is lovely.

A true paradise, unmatched in my 40+ years' travel

Just an hour from city of Porto, high atop hills that look down a lake that fills the green valley, this hotel has no parallel in my 40+ years of travel. Well-appointed rooms, gentle and always available staff, a cosy bar, social room, lounge...All you could ask for. Sleep with window open, wake to the song of birds. Swim in the pool, or take the tightly snaking steep road down to the lake for sport. Or, go hike in the mountains that abut the Spanish border, explore the rich forests, unique landscapes strewn with granite boulders rounded by wind and rain over billions of years...This is paradise, and the hotel is your home.

Nice view but that's about it

Great views. Hotel a bit tired looking. Restaurant service levels poor, staff friendly but they just vanish never to be seen again! Breakfast good. Dinner dire. Expensive and the food wasn't cooked properly, served with frozen/tinned veg. We ate out mostly but choice was limited. Pool decent and clean but a bit chilly. Beds incredibly comfortable. Dogs in the area barking all night long. Nothing much to do in the area, the walks are not well signed, nowhere to cycle unless you're on the hairpin bends. Not the best holiday ever.
