Of the 6 different hotels on this trip in Portugal this was the one I was most apprehensive about, just because the pictures do not show enough detail to feel confident. We were very impressed! The room was the smallest of the trip and would be hard to be there long term, 2 travelers with luggage was very cramped and the bathroom was also one of the smallest I have ever seen. However, there was plenty of charm in the area, the views of the river, the cafe, the pool, to make up for the small rooms. Parking is a little tricky and kind of off-site but not unreasonable considering where it sits in relation to the surroundings.
