Poor value for money
Old run-down mountain lodge with poor service. The view is the only positive aspect I can refer. The room has old carpeting which is terrible for people who have allergies. The restaurant is expensive and disappointing. No regional or typical dishes.
Not up to Pestana standards, its a shame.
The good: location and views are awesome. The rooms are very clean. Staff friendly. Room was quiet. Pool area very pretty. The not so good: wifi spotty at best, frequently non existent. Room security locks negligible, if not worse. (See photo) No elevator. Housekeeping items not replaced, one towel per guest!?! Shower water pressure minimal to poor. The Room was dark and hadn’t power outlets for two. Either your phone or a reading light, your choice. Breakfast restaurant tables and views were amazing, but the coffee was awful, the food cold both times. A covid mask and sanitizer were provided initially, but never replaced after the first day?
gorgeous pousada, outstanding views, superb service
I don't know what the negative reviewers are talking about. I'm a global traveler, have been to 70+ countries in my 60+ years, and this is one of my favorite hotels, except calling it a hotel isn't fair. It's a pousada, and much better suited for lodging than most pousadas. Of course, the view of the reservoir is spectacular. The terrace is incomparable, but even from the restaurant and lobby sitting area, the view is fantastic. It is a stone building with exposed wooden beams and walls of glass. I could sit in the sitting are for hours. The room was atmospheric and lovely, with exposed beams, artistic decor, etc. We had a two room suite, and our teenage daughter had a nice bed in the living room. Both rooms had balconies facing the reservoir. The beds were comfortable. The rooms are a bit on the small side (cozy), but with two rooms, we didn't feel crowded. There was a nice, modern bathroom with a good shower/tub combo, great showerhead, and very large towels. The restaurant is excellent. I had the crunchy sausage in phyllo and the cod sauteed in onions. My wife and daughter had vegetarian dishes. We had a bottle of red wine from the Douro. Everything was excellent. And we had delicious deserts. It is not cheap, but there aren't any other restaurants nearby and they don't exploit the situation. The breakfast buffet is quite nice with a good range of choices. It is included in the room price. Service is superb. Ricardo, the man who checked us in, walked us to our room and showed us some features. At dinner we had an excellent waiter who took the time to chat with us (we were the only guests at first, but others arrived soon after). The lobby has a case of fine pewter pieces for sale and I bought one. It was too cool to use the pool, but it looked lovely. This is a hotel where you can relax and stay a few days. It was by far the most memorable hotel of our trip. It is a top notch hotel at mid-range prices (at least in February).
Nice location, no service
Room was quite old and tiny, service is not existing. Ok to have lunch for the great view on the beautiful landscape but not for a longer stay (we've staid 3 nights). Coffee for breakfast is really lousy. Staff is unfriendly and inefficient. Room was overpriced for the size and the equipment.
Great location but disappointing service
Lovely view from the terrace over the Canicada lake and a lot of the rooms enjoy the same view. Ours didn't, it was dark and had only one comfortable chair until we moved one in from the corridor. Food was good, especially the risottos but service was slow, both in the restaurant and on the terrace.
