This is a quaint rural hotel run by 2 sisters. They speak little English but were accommodating and polite. There was no information pack or explanation about breakfast etc. We didn’t know where to go or times breakfast was served. Breakfast was a continental selection. We were not offered to order anything but saw others with scrambled egg. We had an early flight home.Check out procedure was not explained. Reception was locked up also security gates were locked. It took a while to wake up the staff to get out to catch our taxi transfer. So mention at check in if you need to leave. (Ours was 3.30am) Taxis struggle to find the hotel as there is no signs. We used Uber which was better as you can pin point where it is on the map, they were also cheaper. Fridge in room, hairdryer was available on request. Didn’t eat lunch/dinner here as ate out (toasty kind of food was available)
They own dogs which run free in the external areas of the hotel. Staff try to keep an eye on them and remove them if they are in the way. They seem to be free all the time and bark through the night.
We had bath (jacuzzi one) in our room. Would benefit having a shower.
Very quiet, very laid back. Lovely ladies. Could do with an information pack. We had 5 nights here. Didn’t explore the whole hotel as felt like snooping in someone’s house.

Cool Place to Stay and Great Staff
The owners clearly take pride in what they do. They were very lovely. It is a small "hotel" with only 10 units so it is pretty quiet. Beds were comfortable but rooms were hot. I would suggest having the window open all day as well as having the air conditioner on. Not your typical hotel and worth a stay for someone looking to add to their Portugal experience.

Excellent accueil par une dame très souriante et serviable.
Piscine très agréable, bien fraiche après une chaude journée.
Bon petit déjeuné.
Seul reproche à faire : isolation phonique insuffisante entre les chambres.

Je recommande !!
Un merveilleux moment dans un endroit plein de charme et avec des personnes tout aussi merveilleuses. Au fond d’une allée idéal pour être au calme. Un coin détente avec transat et piscine, différents salons dont un avec billard. Un buffet petit déjeune juste ce qu’il faut. Un endroit typiquement portugais et familiale où se sent très vite comme à la maison. Une chambre spacieuse à la propreté irréprochable. Bref nous y retournerons !
Obrigada para todo e ate breve !!

La struttura bellissima ma nel nulla. Abbiamo trovato la stanza, molto piccola, con una temperatura elevata e senza condizionamento. Le signore della reception parlavano solo portoghese e la colazione era piuttosto scarsa per 10€ al giorno a testa.

Atendimento nota 10
O hotel é bonito e confortável, e os funcionários são muito solícitos e simpáticos. Para que deseja ficar no centro de Braga, não é uma boa opção. Mas, para nós que estávamos de carro, isso não foi um problema. Recomendo muito esse hotel.
