Consider renting bikes from the hotel to explore the scenic coastal paths, especially the route to Guincho Beach for a memorable family experience.

The hotel has a unique charm within a historic fortress, and the views over the marina are stunning. While the breakfast was fantastic, the outdoor pool was disappointingly small and lacked shade options. Service was generally good, but there were some hygiene issues in the rooms.

Completely satisfied

The location was perfect for our family, allowing us easy access to nearby beaches and attractions. We absolutely loved the breathtaking views from the spacious outdoor terrace where we enjoyed breakfast every morning. The unique historical architecture of the former fortress added a fascinating element to our stay. The only downside was that the access to the pools could be challenging for those with mobility issues.

The location in the old citadel is fantastic, with stunning views of the marina. The unique architecture and art throughout the hotel are amazing. The outdoor spaces, especially the pool area, provided a serene getaway after a day of exploring. My room was spacious and comfortable, featuring a lovely balcony that overlooked the water. Breakfast offered a variety of options, including fresh pastries, but the service was often slow, which was disappointing. I encountered inconsistent housekeeping. some days my room was cleaned late in the afternoon. The walkways around the hotel can also be confusing, making it easy to get lost. While the staff were nice and helpful overall, the service could be more attentive, especially at the bar and during breakfast. The indoor pool facilities were less than impressive, and I felt they could use an upgrade. Despite a few downsides, the overall ambiance and historical charm of the hotel really stood out, making it a memorable stay.
