The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. Breakfast was simple but always fresh, and the staff were very friendly. The walls are thin and I was easily awoken by doors closing and toilets flushing in neighboring rooms. Nonetheless, the location couldn't be better for easy access to beaches, groceries, and walking in the historical center.
What an amazing place! So cute, the private courtyard area keeps it quiet, but it is only a short walk to the historic center. The staff is friendly (even though I don't speak Portuguese!), the wifi is pretty fast, and breakfast is excellent. I spend 4 days here and I wish it was longer!

The room is Ok but it’s old and smells the old thing. Then the toilet smells really bad, the one of sewer. Then the air conditioner dripping over my head so couldn’t sleep properly in my bed. As there is an single extra-bed in my room, luckily, I did spent my 3 nights there. Otherwise, it’s OK . The breakfast is perfect, full of good s things to eat but it’s starts only at 8h, so you couldn’t start your day earlier. None of the staff speak other language than Portugal. The good thing is the location is in the old town, so it’s just 5-10 min of walking and the bus station is just 5 min away.
DO NOT STAY HERE unless you 1) like being bitten by insects / sleeping in insect repellent, 2) have unlimited data on your mobile phone, 3) have a deep love of cats and/or 4) have a complete disregard of your own health and safety.
I've written a more thorough review on Google but a special mention to Hotels.com/Expedia for quickly refunding me for this nightmare after providing photographic evidence.
Not one member of staff speaks English or understands the concept of Google translate, they'll verbally reply to you in Portuguese (it's a tourist hotspot so not unfair to ask for some to speak basic English).
There are cats everywhere even though the hotel has a no pet policy and WiFi doesn't work in any of the rooms. They put this on their own website (if you Google translate it) but have failed to inform all third-party websites that are selling their rooms.
Ottima la posizione della struttura, in 2 minuti arrivi al centro della città e il personale è gentile. Purtroppo gli aspetti positivi si fermano qua. La stanza faceva una puzza di scarico/fogna/escrementi veramente importante, al punto tale da costringerci a lasciare le finestre aperte tutta la notte. Inoltre questa struttura può andare bene solo ed esclusivamente alle persone molto mattiniere, in quanto alle 5.20 spaccate, ogni mattina, c'erano gli uccelli a dare la sveglia a tutte le camere. Gli infissi sono in legno, non sigillati e per tanto entravano tutti i rumori possibili. Nella stanza non era presente nemmeno un armadio, ma solo un appoggio sopra il frigorifero

Pode melhorar a variedade no café da manhã (a única opção quente era o ovo ou fazer um misto na chapa) , o cuidado na arrumação dos quartos (ficamos sem toalha e sem papel higiênico) e o acesso a pousada com um controle remoto do portão de garagem para cada quarto, (fiquei esperando para entrar até encontrar alguém p abrir o portão além do mal cheiro no banheiro durante toda a nossa estadia, esse tem que melhorar urgentemente.
