São João Fountain, Luso Yakınlarındaki Oteller

It is a travel in time. Literally. Building is a jewel, truly extraordinary, in good shape. Common areas are in good shape yet a bit dated and lack decent lightning. it’s shame Bedrooms though are less than a 3 stars. All is BAD except the linen; lack of furniture; no tv channels; terrible lightning; it’s unexplainable. Bathroom is spacious and from the 1970s but I liked it very much design wise. The attitude of staff is VERY weird, as if everyone knew something is wrong. We arrived in a rainy evening. The check In person was nice but seemed lost or that he had drunk too much. Unclear. We had dinner and breakfast there. The price of wines is a scandal. Absurd. Food was ok, also overpriced. The hotel is clearly understaffed in order to be kept afloat. They ask you to please book the breakfast time. Staff was okish, old fashioned, not kind, burned out perhaps but trying to do their work ok. There was a strange demeanor though— most specially someone that identified himself as ‘Barman’ and that seemed to be the head of some mafia. Really bad energy from him. The whole thing does not feel credible, even the descriptions of the group to which the hotel belongs sound infatuated. To sum up: Is a grand and old hotel that clearly needs to change hands, enter in a diferent attitude towards hosting, get into a new type of grandeur and life that honors the incredible building and location. Now, for €107 with breakfast, I highly recommend it! Have dinner somewhere else or there, take your wifi, enjoy the park, wake up in the middle of the forest etc. breakfast is 4*.

Very quiet hotel. Despite the magnificent building, all the staff are very close to the guests and care about their happiness. This time I stayed in a superior room with large windows. The area and direct light of the toilet are all you like. The restaurant offers a balanced buffet, exquisite breakfast and everything you want. Restaurant service and decent breakfast. The reception staff have excellent professionalism and a very friendly attitude. I recommend

This was our first visit to Northern Portugal and we arrived there very late. We discovered at the airport the car hire company we had booked through did not exist. It took us a while to sort and although I'm sure it was an inconvenience the Hotel were very helpful and Nuno took our calls so we were very appreciative. This is an old style hotel full of antiques and curiosities and so interesting to look around! The breakfast room is full of clocks! Our bedroom was lovely we had a balcony to the front so we had a beautiful view all over the town of Luso. The bed was super comfortable with clean bathroom. Breakfast was a mixture of some cooked food and some breads and cereals it would have been nice to have a little more fresh fruit and muesli type cereals. We sat outside a few mornings and it is really beautiful surroundings. The gardens and pool are beautiful, lovely to relax at the pool or in the hammocks. We found it disappointing that there was no pool bar or bar option for lunch, we had to walk into the town anytime we wanted food or drink. The town of Luso is only a few minutes walk and it is really beautiful. It's very obvious that it has suffered greatly from the pandemic so hopefully tourists will return as it is such a little gem. Restaurants are few but we ate out locally every night and the food was really excellent. The Palace and Forest of Bussaco are also within walking distance although a little more challenging as uphill but it is really lovely to get to and to walk around. You can spend a lot of time around the area if you enjoy hiking and walking. Very restful break in a beautiful spot, it us old worldly and like stepping back in time. Lovely stay.

Very quiet and beautiful~

Hotel is by beach . Room is big and clean. Breakfast is very good. The supermarket is in next door. The town Sitio near Nazare is on the cliffs. The views are very beautiful and looks down the beach and town. It worths the visit. The parking on the hilltop is limited but if you go there early , you are still able to find place to park. The receptionist is very good and helpful. When I arrived at the hotel in the evening, I found flat tire. The young guy worked at the front desk helped me to call the rental car company to solve the problem. I definitely recommend this hotel to friends.

This is a nice, clean, modern hotel but there are pros and cons as follows :- Pros - Clean, well appointed rooms which we found to be quiet Very nice bar/lounge with TV Barman switched the channel so we could watch an English soccer game (although he did keep disappearing for long periods - we don’t know whether he had another job or a girlfriend somewhere else in the hotel) Pool area is very pleasant Breakfast included and it was an excellent buffet Cons - Not a major problem for us but it is a bit of a walk (at least 10 mins) into ‘town’. This could be a problem for those who are not so mobile Big tour groups are accommodated, so it was a good job that we were at breakfast right on opening time at 7am. About 30 mins later the place was swamped by a very large party Unfortunately, not every breakfast dish was ready at 7am so we did miss out on a few items. This is bad food and beverage management Since it was raining and there is nowhere else to eat close by, we had dinner in the restaurant. We thought that €25was expensive for the buffet so we ate à la carte. My rice was very dry as was my friend’s pork. Not impressed at all. Just hope you don’t want to check in or out when a tour bus arrives or is about to depart. I would have given 3 and a half stars but 3 is too low so we’ll go with 4 as the staff were all very friendly.

The hotel has a strong sense of design and VI does a good job. The hotel is a 10-minute walk from the city centre. The space of room is large and the bed is comfortable. Although there are not many kinds of food in breakfast, they are good quality and there is freshly squeezed orange juice.

We were very happy with our two-night stay in Studio no. 12, which was spacious, tastefully appointed and had everything we needed. The host/manager Ricardo was very solicitous, regularly checking that we were satisfied and asking whether we needed anything. Our only real bone of contention had less to do with Sophia Studios and more to do with the location, with noise from the [busy] street outside and nightclubs and the like penetrating the fully closed windows and shutters. That aside, the location is excellent, within walking distance of everything you'll want to see.

This is my go to hotel every year. The best hotel around this area in Portugal. The ladies are amazing. From front desk to the cleaning staff. They will amaze you with their kidness. They go above and beyond to meet our needs. My daughter doesn't drink regular milk and they provided almond milk as soon as they found out that that is the type of milk she drinks. Breakfast is amazing and fresh. The Coffee machines are incredible. You can get a fresh beverage 24/7. The place is the cleanest you will ever find. It is deserving if a 5 * review.

For the second time we visited Aguieira, this time at its latest hotel. In general, the experience was pleasant and fulfilled expectations, but still a great margin of growth. I have to consider two aspects (which I have had the opportunity to share with the employees): - restaurant - great disappointment, expensive and weak quality. I do not recommend the cod walled dishes once again as a spine dishes with brow. On the contrary, the cow's lobe was a pleasant surprise even if it could be improved (it was just to let it rest after making a pack of blood). The cover is super basic, and the extremely dry bread (just take it to the oven for 1 minute and had already misleaded the client with ”fresh and just made bread”); - gym - somewhat restrictive operating time (opens at 9 a.m. and for anyone in the I think it is completely prohibitive. In addition, most machines do not work/fee. The hotel is located in the centre of the city, and the facilities, breakfast and spa (a very pleasant massage experience).
