A charming stay

traditional stylespacious roomhelpful stafftoxic spray

I appreciated the traditional Portuguese style. My room was spacious and clean and had a balcony overlooking the pool and sea. The staff were helpful and polite (nothing was too much trouble!).

I found an ant invasion in my room each night. The night receptionist used a toxic ant killer spray that left a terrible smell in my room. It is really not good enough for a 4 star hotel.

The room included two comfortable twin beds and a wardrobe with ample space for clothing. It was well-kept. There was a small desk area suitable for working or writing, and the sea view from my window was just lovely. A tv with many channels was available.

The gardens featured beautiful flowering plants attracting butterflies. I especially liked how well-kept they were! breakfast was delicious and offered plenty of choices. The coffee was fabulous too.

the plastic cup i used leaked all over the bedside table though the room was fine otherwise.
