This is a beautiful hotel in the Lido area - near lots of restaurants two very good Italian restaurants nearby. If you want the authentic Portuguese experience then it is pleasant to walk or take a bus into the old town which is very pretty. It is a longish walk to the old town and quite a steep hill with... more

Stayed at this hotel in June the room was large and had a garden view this may not be to everyones taste as it had no seaview but having lived in a coastal town its not a novelty to look at the sea for me.We loved this room as it had a large terrace area and the lush gardens were... more

Great value for money. excellent hotel, good location, has lots of beautiful gardens, a free shuttle bus into the city centre. the staff was excellent, very helpful and gracious. had an amazing stay, would go back. just make sure to book your shuttle buses early because they get full fast. their buffet breakfast is decent but their pasteries are great. more

Superior Room: it has never... more
