There's nothing special to do in the mountain area and the morning is pretty cloudy without view, also there's no view from the room. I expected to have better aroma in the room and in the pool and lobby area. The bad was soft and comfortable, the bath kit was nice, and the breakfast was good.

Liked: Cleanliness
Staff were nice and tried to please but service was slow. Difficult to get staff attention in the restaurant. The hotel was nice but the area was quite desolate. Very limited options for eating (1 village diner, and a couple of bars) The golf nearby was excellent and the pick up service was helpful. We didn’t have a hire car and getting around was hard. We really relied on the pick ups for the guided Levada walks

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Sehr gutes Hotel, sehr gutes Personal, großartiges Frühstück! Das Bett war für mich persönlich zu weich, aber das ist Geschmachssache... Wir waren nur zwei Nächte da, wir wären gern länger geblieben, wenn wir nicht schon unseren Flug nach Hause hätten. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Hotel is aging and not the best upkeep. The real issue is the staff that are rude. Whilst we were there, there was renovation and drilling in front of our door from 9:30 and they created water damage in one of the common rooms downstairs so we were unable to use it. After the first day. For this they made a gesture. However, overall experience was definitely not up to standard.

Das Zimmer war sehr sauber. Lage des Hotels ruhig und schön. Der Pool hat angenehme Temperatur, die Sauna ist winzig klein. Das Frühstück ist ok. aber nicht abwechslungsreich. Aufschnitt, Käse und Müsli sind recht einfach. Das Personal sehr freundlich. Einige Startpunkte für Wanderungen sind gut zu erreichen.

Verkligen helt fantastiska sängar! Superbra frukost. Trevligt med pool och biljard. Det låg uppe bland bergen och inte mycket restauranger i närheten så man måste ha bil om man ska bo där. Restaurangen nekade oss på kvällen för de bara hade en kock, så man behöver boka i god tid innan.

Schönes Landhotel mit Macken!

Schönes Hotel am Land, aber: Zu wenig Sitzplätze im Restaurant (als Hotelgäste konnten wir am Nachmittag für das Abendessen keinen Tisch mehr für 2 Personen reservieren), das Hallenbad hat eine schlechte bzw. gar keine Lüftung (von der Decke tropft es dauernd herunter) und zu wenige Liegen, wir hatten ein Zimmer im "Turm", das ohne Lift nur über eine halsbrecherische Stiege erreichbar war und das Hinauf- und Hinuntertragen der Koffer war eine schweißtreibende Angelegenheit (es gab auch kein Gepäckservice). Ansonsten Zimmer, Frühstück und 1 x Essen im Hotel bezüglich Preis-/Leistung in Ordnung.
