Sadly this place did not live up to its 5 Stars. Location: Too far from Porto. In good traffic 15 minutes. View: Sea view across the main dual road and lovely boulevard Room: We took one of the two sea view rooms in the main house. Dismally dark. One slim window looking out to sea but against a far wall so no view really unless you stand and go to the window. Same slim window in bedroom with direct sea view. Great when awake only. Bathroom has same but when using need the blind down, do no view. The ‘unique’ shower looks directly across to the next property. Again, blind down. The best part was absence of beside tables. Nowhere to put items and no light switch. This was about one meter above you where a shelf sat across the width of the bed. Sofas, if you can call them that, would. E better placed in a garden or play area. Breakfast: Basic, no daily variety. The same every day. Eggs were awful and served alone poor things! No garnish, nothing. On two occasions we asked for grilled tomatoes and were told it was not possible. What?! So whatever eggs you order presentation was zero from ten and taste was the same. You can guess what the rest was like based on this. Best dish was poached eggs served in a bowl of warm water! Service was slow and without pleasantness. Room service: Appalling. Simple request for ice and some lime slices took 20 minutes and arrived with lemon slices. Two more attempts on different days. Ice and orange slice. After 15 minutes ice and a peeled orange presented in a cloche arrived. With a bill for €5!! Needles to say this was sent back. Housekeeping: Dreadful. No requests, and there were not many, were adhered to. Simple extra towel requests were ignored, or am overload of towels delivered Beware, turn down is attempted at around 16:30/17:00. So a huge disappointment for a similar size cost. Much better places close and in Porto with lovely views. Try the Yeatman. Check out: Would have been nice to have been asked whether we enjoyed our stay.
