Stayed at the hotel for a bigger fishing competition in the area. It suited our purpose well. Very good service. Breakfast at 0500, no problem. Freeze you cooler packs, no problem. Rent some bikes, no problem. The breakfast was good, the set dinner is average. On the downside, there were a some rave parties ongoing in the area. I do not know if this is a permanent club or not. But the music was loud until 0600 in the morning....
The highway exit to the hotel (14) was closed because of the fires. We had to take local roads and the GPS put us in the middle of nowhere... A very nice local couple offered to guide us, and they were using their phone for guidance. It was 30 min of lost roads, deserted abandoned industrial plants... we thought that we were in real danger! Finally, we saw a sign for Montemor and we breathed with relief. The man asked for directions to the hotel and we followed him to the closest point to the hotel, but we followed on foot because the street was "foot traffic only"... the hotel is on a very steep street, and the night staff told us to ignore the signs and get the car there. We did. No toiletries, bad lock in the door, and a small hole in the wall under the mirror that went all the way to the other room made us unhappy. In the morning all was better! Great views, the Castle just up from the hotel, but the town is a quiet, ghost town with very limited offerings. Next night again the exit was closed, and we obeyed the GPS that took us to a dirt road full of holes, no lights, corn on one side and the river on the other. Worse yet, we could see the flames quite nearby. That dirt road, took us to the hotel very fast. AC and WIFI worked. Breakfast was good enough and it was a good value. If exit 14 is open, it will take just a few minutes to get there.…
Now a modern and clean 2 star hotel in a historic building. All rooms and public spaces transformed in Ikea style. The rooms are light and airy with modern furniture, good beds and compact slate tiled bathrooms. A simple canteen style restaurant for modestly priced dinners and breakfast. The dinner included in our Groupon package was well prepared and presented with care and attention. The inclusive bottle of wine was an excellent reserva. The local Rotary Club uses it for its gatherings too.
The hotel staff is really nice and willing to help the visitors. Also, the view from the room windows is spectacular (as is the whole region, actually). If you want to setup a "base camp" for visiting this part of Portugal, this might be a good option - quiet, with much to visit within a 50 km radius, not far from Coimbra and at a price not so high (50 euros a night for a double room). Rooms themselves are not exactly luxurious and lack a few basic things like a decent TV with a decent choice of channels, Internet cable connection, window blinds (crucial if you want to wake up late - curtains are not enough...) and hangers in the closet (we had just one for two persons - try asking for some more, we didn't, actually). However, cleanliness is impeccable, breakfast has a fair choice of items and, above all, the feeling of privacy and quietness will compensate for all the rest.…
