El hotel está en un pueblo con mucho encanto, muy cerca andando del centro. A media hora de Aveiro y una hora de Coimbra. Las habitaciones no son muy grandes, pero cuentan con lo necesario. El buffet del desayuno es completo. Tiene parking gratuito. No estuvimos en el spa.

Me ha encantado las instalaciones y el desayuno muy completo. La piscina estaba perfecta de temperatura muy relajante.
The room was a bit small for 3 people as it was a 13 year old girl paying as an adult and her bed was almost literally right next to ours. That there was no closet in the room to store clothes, just an open space with hooks and dividers.
La habitación era un poco pequeña para 3 personas ya que era una niña de 13 años que pagaba como adulto y su cama estaba casi pegada literalmente de la nuestra. Que no había armario en la habitación para guardar la ropa, solo un espacio abierto con ganchos y divisiones.

La ubicación, el parking gratuito
The spa is a very small pool with 2 jets. We had a problem with the air conditioning that we detected at the entrance and they did not go to check, it was on and off continuously with the corresponding beeps, could not be disconnected.
El spa es una piscina muy pequeña con 2 chorros. Tuvimos un problema con el aire acondicionado que detectamos a la entrada y que no fueron a revisar, se encendía y apagaba continuamente con los correspondientes pitidos, no se podía desconectar.

La habitación esta muy bien, es amplia y limpia. La cama es muy grande y el colchón aunque es de muelles resulta cómodo. El desayuno es completo y el personal muy amable.
The spa disappointed us because it is small, the pool water was not hot enough and the jets did not work.
El spa nos decepcionó porque es pequeño, el agua de la piscina no estaba lo suficientemente caliente y los chorros no funcionaban.
