The whole place smells like meat. The restaurant has no vegetarian options other than salad. The room is a nice size and the reception workers are accommodating.

This accommodation has a lot of potential. The pool is great. The apartments are really large and clean. There are a few restaurants on the property that no longer function except to serve special events which is unfortunate because it’s in the middle of the country with nothing closeby. The office is a mile away from the accommodation. Google maps does not lead you directly to the office. The people running the place are very nice & helpful. There’s a good restaurant they run attached to the office.

The property was difficult to find as the Expedia link did not rake you to the property . The property itself was not at all clearly marked and appeared to be a shop ! No instructions on how to use the coffee machine . Just all in all , a bit frustrating.

This is not a hotel and so Expedia should be more clear about that and not have it show up in a hotel search. This is more like a cabin rental where you rent a room in a house with shared common areas. The house we were in is quite dated and both the facilities and the decor could use updating. The bathrooms were small with very old and rusty fixtures.

Rather strange experience, not a hotel but rooms
Reception telephoned us the day we were arriving to check our arrival time, I felt they stayed behind just for us. We took suitcases and dog out of the car only to be told our room was 1km away and to follow the receptionist in our car. The room was OK, we shared an apartment with another couple. All advertised facilities on site were closed except for the pool. We had to travel back to get something to eat, the food was not great, we're sorry to say. The place was typical, rustic and peaceful. The place clearly won many awards in the past and has the potential to be great once again but we were left with the impression that the current management do not seem to be doing it justice.

Average place, not so great service
Average place. Location is not great, but environment in the mountains was pleasant. However, when the hot water was not working in the morning they still didn't show flexibility with the checkout time. The first contact by phone before the check in was not the best either. Overall, decent place, 12mins driving from the center which needs to improve the way they take care of costumers

Gimonde needs to be included in the address as the TomTom did not find it in Braganca. The breakfast was terrible- bread in edible and coffee not drinkable. And the flies!

A good place to explore the national park.
Walked along the river teeming with noisy frogs. (They were not on the menu though) we ate at the hotel restaurant. We had the most fabulous meal, excellent wonderfully cooked steak served with roast chestnuts and an equally wonderful pork steak. Strongly recommend it.

Great place to sleep, but avoid the restaurant
The hotel's receptionist was very helpful, the room was clean and comfortable. Avoid the restaurant: we went there for a ludicrously overpriced breakfast, got treated like second class citizens (when compared with the larger group seated nearby), and the quality of the food was sub-par for Portuguese standards. We made the right choice and went down the street to Assares for most of our meals instead, and it was delicious.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
We were lucky to have the whole house to ourselves, therefore we could spread out and make ourselves at home. Breakfast was served at the taverna 3euros each for bread ham cheeses and coffee. Good wifi at the house.The old village was interesting to walk round and pretty by the river. Close enough to Braganca to visit but not in a busy area. We also drove around the national park and enjoyed the natural beauty. Only complaint was noise at night from a generator or air conditioner in the next property. Outside Ares was sufficient but no comfortable seats for the garden. Kitchen well equipped.

Disliked: Room comfort
totally misrepresented. Ask more questions.
While staff were exceptionally pleasant, we had no idea that it was housed in the country. Not that we mind 'country' but we were simply not told and directions to get to it were very poor. We were in a 'share house' with two other couples, sharing the kitchen and lounge. Again, we coped, but this was not mentioned in the notes accompanying acceptance of the booking.In our opinion, it is 2 star, not 4 star. I must re-iterate that Catherine, the receptionist was exceptionally nice and paved the way for us, impeccably. She could work in an international hotel and be an asset to them. My husband had a sleepless night because of very noisy heating system. or pumping water system. The other couples complained of the same thing, when we mentioned it, over breakfast.
