This is a beautiful hotel that looks like the set of the Poirot series with its beautiful art deco interior. The main restaurant was fabulous we did a tasting menu one evening and it was a great experience. The staff here were super attentive and we felt cosseted both in the evening and at breakfast. Reception staff, cleaning staff all excellent. The garden terrace bar however was appalling, it was coronation day in England so we ordered afternoon tea I can only say one word , DREADFUL! The staff in here are indifferent never around for you to ask for anything and the afternoon tea was a joke ! Very disappointing. I f I had visited here earlier in our visit my opinion of the whole hotel would have been blighted However this area apart the hotel is lovely and well worth splashing out for a few days to visit this beautiful area! Be aware I was a little affected by the noise of the ongoing renovations in the gardens — the lorries beeping from 8.45 certainly detracted from the peace and beautiful birdsong these renovations are due to be finished by end June.

In generale, mi sono divertito qui e ritornerò. Il personale era eccezionale e davvero pieno di guardia, sorridendo per assicurarti di essere felice. Il bagno era bello e mi sono divertito con le calde fonti private come parte dell'esperienza dell'hotel. Le primavera calde sono 24 ore, quindi non si può battere. Anche io apprezzo che ti lascino fare due notti (altri posti volevano tre notti minime) per poter divisa il mio tempo sull'isola. Il colazione era una bella diffusione. Hanno fornito champagne con le bevande, che sono più generose di altri hotel. Ho fatto una cena con loro, che era buona. Le camere stesse erano moderne e pulite. I miei negativi erano che era fuori strada occupata e, mentre prendevo una delle ultime camere, non mi sono reso conto che ci sarebbero state camere che guardavano in un parcheggio in quello che mi aspettavo di essere un luogo molto tranquillo/remoto. Pagherei un'eccezione per una migliore vista/side al momento della prenotazione. Un paio di notizie: Mi sorprende che questa piccola città non sia molto amica dei piedi. Ci sono passi laterali molto stretti e un paio di strade dove i conducenti sono a sbattere. La città ha bisogno di più passeggini e pompe di velocità. Sei meglio di un'auto qui. Mi è stato detto che se ti suggerisci la ricetta, il denaro va all'hotel, che spero di diffondere, ma non direttamente alla persona che ti aiuta. Avrei avuto qualche contante per i consigli... Questo diceva, nessuno sembrava mai come si aspettavano i consigli.

Di fronte all'Oceano Atlantico e direttamente sul mare, non ci sono ostacoli di fronte. La camera ha un balcone, molto confortevole e con ampia vista. Puoi vedere il mare direttamente dal letto. Il bagno è dotato di vasca. Puoi fare il bagno guardando il mare. È comodo! L'hotel è molto pulito, mi piace molto il suo stile di decorazione, ha un senso del design, l'abbinamento dei colori è molto adatto allo scenario locale e i dettagli sono ben fatti. Il servizio è molto buono, il ristorante per la colazione a buffet può guardare il mare e il cibo è abbondante. L'hotel dispone di una piscina a sfioro all'aperto. Puoi nuotare mentre guardi il mare. Se non vuoi nuotare, puoi salire pigramente per crogiolarti al sole. C'è anche un bar accanto alla piscina. Se piove, c'è anche una piscina interna riscaldata, così puoi nuotare guardando il mare. 【Paesaggio balneare】 Igiene: Ambiente: Servizio:

The helpfulness of all the staff was excellent, the breakfast is outstanding, as is the view from the restaurant and bar. The location and the beach are dramatic and beautiful. The hotel has been built sensitively, in harmony with the hillside, so much so that when we arrived in the dark and late, due to flights affected by a storm, we could not initially see the dark brown front door, it blends in so well! Our 9 night stay was perfect for the family to celebrate both of our wedding anniversaries. The younger couple found the hiking trails beautiful and great for the morning run but they do require a car to get to the start as the road by the hotel is not safe for pedestrians. Swimming pools are not heated, so are for summery days. Reception staff provided helpful and reliable advice and issued us with a list of recommended quality restaurants which they were happy to book for us. Food on the island was in general very good for fish and sea food but vegetables were unexciting.

This apart-hotel complex is absolutely beautiful, flowering bushes everywhere with a lovely scent. Our apartment was large and airy and had a great private terrace on the first floor (2nd floor if you’re North American). It really was a home from home with a full dining area with table and chairs and lounge area with sofa, soft rug and tv. The main double bedroom was upstairs with an anteroom having a sofa/pull out bed for children or guests 3&4. Lots of storage in the bedroom but there was a distinct lack of hangers in the wardrobe but loads of drawer space. The kitchen is adequate enough for simple meals (no oven) with a twin hob and microwave, kettle and toaster, and a selection of pots and pans. We managed really well. The hotel provides breakfast 8am - 10am if you want it at 12euros per person. We didn’t try this option. Housekeeping are amazing and come every day! Everything is clean and beds are made. Towels can be changed daily if you like. For a self-catering holiday we found that a lot was provided in the apartment for us: washing up liquid, washing up sponge, washing up cloth and a tea towel. These are replenished and changed as needed. There is also toilet roll, shower gel and hand wash provided in the bathroom which was lovely - again, replenished when needed or on request. The complex gardens are beautiful and well-tended. The pool looked lovely and well-cared for, however we didn’t try it out. There seems to be a hot tub in a wooden building off the pool area - we took a look but it was grubby and the water had floating debris. I’m sure they would have sorted it out if we had asked, but we were out and about discovering the island every day. You definitely need to hire a car for the duration of your stay here as there isn’t any bus route nearby and taxis would be very expensive to get around the island. HANDY TIP: If you’re picking up your hire car on landing at the airport and driving to Quinta da Santana - to get into the complex there is an electronic gate that requires a remote control. When you first arrive, drive past the big metal gate and find the next smaller (pedestrian) gate. Put the hazard lights on in the car and get out to ring the bell. This alerts reception who will come and open the gate for you or just give you a remote straight away so you can drive into the complex. We had a horrendous time of looking and looking and going around and around the roads trying to find the entrance!! We didn’t know about the need to ring the pedestrian gate bell (face palm!) The reception staff are lovely and very accommodating and speak English very well. I’m not sure what other languages they can speak. The area that Quinta da Santana is situated in is the one fly in the ointment….it seems really run down and the road they are situated on is all full of industrial buildings and commercial businesses. Further exploration within Santana uncovers the grubbier side of agricultural life with its local working class community.

Il piccolo resort di Quaint è stato immobilizzato a Povoacao. Molto tranquillo e pulito. Fantastico colazione, e un bar decentemente designato che era eccezionalmente ragionevole. Il personale non era niente di meno sorprendente! Abbiamo lasciato accidentalmente la chiave della nostra macchina in camera e l'hanno riportata all'aeroporto in tempo! Hertz ha anche dato la nostra auto che avremmo prenotato via prima di atterrare ... e ci hanno aiutato a trovare un sostituto in vacanza e ci hanno guidato a prendere. E' fantastico, non è molto centrale per tutto sull'isola, ma ci sono state le viaggi e le vaca felice e le viste in e fuori.
