Really good breakfast with a lot of variety. Very friendly staff. The room size was amazing, everything was big, from the bathroom to the bed, and the balcony was perfect to sit and enjoy nature! The facilities have a free inside and outside pool, a jacuzzi and a Turkish bath. There is a spa, with some treatments like massages that you will have to pay extra but the prices seemed pretty reasonable to me.

The inside pool is not that big and there are a lot of little kids, which is normal, but not that relaxing… the size should be bigger for the amount of guests that use the pool

The hotel is located in a great area, really calm and beautiful. The check in was fast and smooth and the personnel really friendly. The room was clean and big with great views over the forest and swimming pool. We really enjoyed our stayed. We had dinner at the restaurant and portions were super big and all food was really tasty. Breakfast was also varied and good.

The only area of improvement is the spa, we went there and the main pool water was quite cold, many of the saunas/showers did not work, and in a cold day, it was only one jacuzzi that had a higher temperature. Also, there were many kids shouting and running around, which is not expected of a spa, where you are looking to relax. If the spa was on the right temperature and there were no kids running around, this place would be a 10 out of 10.

The hotel has magnificent views. The room was very large and spacious, so was the bathroom. Very comfortable bed, clean sheets and towels. Excelent breakfast and restaurant, and spa facilities (interior pool, turkish bath and jacuzzi - which had clean water even at the end of the day).

Although the restaurant is great, I do not recommend the risotto. Plus, i found it very unpleasant to be charged to park my car in an outside parking, when there are no other means of transportation and no other parking spots near! For an elegant hotel, this attitude lacks elegance.

I come here at least 2 times each year so... that speaks by itself 🙂. Everything it's amazing unless you love noise and lot of anarchy. In that case, go find another place. Nature, pure air, the facilities, the spa, the food at the restaurant, you name it. I love autumnal colors and the flowers from Spring. But Winter it's great too. Summer is nice for the exterior pool. Fishing salmon and trouts. Mountain biking. Finding and picking wild mushrooms at this season it's a must. Birdwatching it's amazing too. And Spain...it's just at the other side of the Minho river. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Not living there 😂. Nothing to complain.

Well, I am a frequent costumer. This is my 3rd time... i. 2022 so, for sure I like it 🙂. Difficult it's to find what I don't like here. Hmmm, I will try next time, to find something I don't like there. First, reception. All of the girls and boys there are fantastic. I talked with Beatriz (Hi, Beatriz). She is so nice, you will feel it by your heart. Then the room, with a view! Amazingly big room, amazing bed, amazing simplicity. Bathroom the same. Wi-Fi is excellent. Of course is clean, what do you expect for a 4 star hotel! What a question! Then the SPA, from the pool, jacuzzi and Turkish bath. Just come and feel it. I came last Winter, then Summer and now, Autumn. Each season have its own flavour, look outside from the indoor pool or jacuzzi and you will be straight to a peaceful place, no matter if you were stressed before! Get a massage if you need. Then go for a walk outside, by the wooden walkway. You will hear the Minho river, 150 meters away, the river that separates Portugal from Spain. Yes, out there it's Spain, so close. You can walk to Spain. I do mountain bike, so.. I use to go there by bike. Do you love fishing? Come between March and end of July for incredible trout and even Salmon fishing! Most ppl don't know, but there are wild salmon in the river Minho, the only one in Portugal with Salmon. Time for dinner at the hotel restaurant. Choose one of the many incredible dishes, from starters to desserts and enjoy life. Are you here to relax, right? Don't expect anything else but relaxation and peace. If you want noise and night life, go elsewhere! I am not related with the hotel in any possible way, I just love to share my experiences.

What I didn't like? Hmmm Stays here are always too short 🤣. Three nights are not enough. Kidding, but yes, I could be here an entire month because I love nature, I love spas, I love mountain biking, I love fishing, I love clear skies (one of my hobbies are astrophotography so... you get it why).

Modern, spacious and relaxing. Spectacular surroundings. Great location to enjoy all. Great choice for breakfast, self service is always quicker 😉

Very slow service for reserved dinner at 9 pm, we arrived promptly but after we were taken to our table we waited 15 minutes for service and a drink at our table before ordering food that arrived 1 hour later😏 The internal swimming pool and Jacuzzi were too cold, not heated enough.

The hotel is nestled in a forest with several walking trails nearby. The Pool and Sauna were excellent, the water was just at the right temperature. An excellent breakfast can be savored by admiring the wonderful view of the forest and mountains.

They charge for parking which makes absolutely no sense given the amount of space available on premises and around the hotel.

Definitely location: In the forest on the river Minho! Fixe! Comfy beds and spacious rooms all overlooking the river, forest and pool area. The fabulous forest hiking trail on wooden walkway was the highlight here! 💚 Love the use of the beautiful super clean pools of the spa ( incl in the hotel price - WELL DONE! ) A first!

Had a mix up with the rates I booked on Booking. I asked to rectify but it was not even considered. so that’s a bit disappointing . One doesn’t want to alienate possible future guests in this way! A hotel should bend backwards to keep clientele. Love the concept of minimalism here - altho this hotel borders on soullessness!!! Almost hospitalar. Needs a designer boost to raise it to the level it should be to raise its status. Food of the resto was was acceptable but could be improved greatly - I asked for the phyllo rice pudding dessert and twice it arrived not crispy or golden enough but soggy & wet underneath.

The swimming pool and the breakfast

Having to pay to leave the car in the parking lot! There is no logic to it. The architecture of the building is uninteresting and the artwork spread around the building is plain bad and shows no taste for art.

Location, room, swimming pool.

The dinner service was disastrous. In addition to the waiting time (the experience took us almost 2 hours for a full meal!), the quality of the products was clearly low for the expectations of a 4-star hotel (we wait 45 minutes to have bread on the table!). the service was very poor (the ice cream was served almost in a liquid state) revealing a total lack of customer care. Total lack of management of people, services and products.
