Beautiful spaces and location. The pool and spa are brand new. This hotel is like a museum but modern and fresh. The restaurant is great for breakfast and dinner. The beds are a bit too firm for us though.
Duka, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice smaller hotel with good facilities. Pool and Jacuzzi are very nice. Sauna costs extra, which is not indicated at the time of the reservation, but worth it. Room included an excellent continental breakfast and dinner was also very good. Would definitely recommend. December is low season and it was quiet.

Beautiful views of the valley and the Atlantic from our room Beautiful gardens, indoor pool, hot tub and sauna. Large common area with lots of room to spread out, antiques from the area and other items of interest. Very friendly staff

8/10 Very good

Nice location in the mountains, great starting point. Value for money is very good, the room was comfortable. There is a newly renovated pool area with jacuzzi and sauna which was nicer than in some 5 star hotels. The breakfast was ok for a few days, it’s nothing special. Staff very friendly. When you’re looking for an affordable place to stay for a few days, this is the place for you.

Place was peaceful and clean. Staff was very kindly. Some problems because the staff didnt speak english fluently, only few of them.

A beautiful location. Ideal for relaxation.
Maybe there could be coffee facilities in the room. Possibly a small fridge in the room. The breakfast/ dining room is a little crowded

Solar de Boaventura Peaceful, Tranquil, Relaxing
The staff was welcoming, the hotel is very clean, the food and the Chef are amazing! Everyone was pleasant and willing to help whenever required. The grounds around the hotel are beautiful and peaceful. There are nooks and crannies with benches, tables, chairs to sit and relax. The indoor pool is huge. The view from the hotels magnificent with mountains, mist and beautiful scenery. You MUST experience this hotel!
As a vegan it's awesome to find staff and Chef working to create a dessert for me Orange Juice Cake!

2/10 Poor

--- Subject: Extremely Disappointing Experience I recently stayed at [solar de Boaventura ] and unfortunately had a very negative experience was overcharged for my stay, and despite my attempts to resolve the issue, it seems that the staff was more focused on finding ways to charge extra rather than addressing my concerns. There was only one staff member, Sara, who appeared to be listening to my issues, but the overall lack of friendliness and support from the rest of the team was disheartening. I ended up leaving a day early and had to pay for another hotel because I simply couldn’t stay any longer. Additionally, the lack of convenient transportation options, such as taxis or Uber, made it even more challenging. To top it off, there was no water provided in the room, which is a basic expectation. I was promised that I would receive a refund for the extra charge, but I have yet to see any follow-up on that. Overall, this was a very bad experience, and I hope that my feedback will lead to improvements for future guests. Thank you. ---

6/10 Good

Very nice located hotel with a lush garden, great swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna. Nice service, pretty good restaurant. We booked a double bed room for 81 Euros/Night and got one in the old part with a bit outdated furniture and no balcony. Surprisingly the hotel was a bit clairaudient. That was okay for us but the mattress was horrible: when your partner turned in the (narrow) bed you almost fell out of it. Furthermore the pillows were way too small and soft. The bathroom was okay, but there was a smell coming out of the sink. The breakfast was disappointing: really really standard, except some fruits nothing fresh. The bred and croissants tasted nothing. The coffee was good. So overall I recommend when you book there to insist to get a room in the newer part, where the beds are hopefully better.

Herrenhaus in wunderschöner Umgebung
Ein sehr schönes Landhaushotel mit 20 Zimmern. Sauber, sehr nettes Personal, Frühstück gut, Zimmer gross. In einem kleinen Dorf mit einem kleinen Geschäft, Snackbar, Apotheke, eine andere Bar. Mit Meerblicjmk, von Bergen u.geben. Schwimmbad mit Sauna eine tolle Sache. Abendessen im Hotel möglich. Ruhige Gäste, überwiegend ältere Wanderer. Im Winter (ich war Anfang Februar dort), an regnerischen und wi digen Tagen kann das Zimmer etwas kühl anfühlen, also am Besten warme Hausschuhe, warmes Pyjama und warme Sachen mitnehmen. Ein Heizkörper ist vorhanden wird von 16 Uhr bis ca 8 Uhr betrieben aber an kalten Tagen reicht er nicht, um das geräumige Zimmer richtig warm zu machen. Schöne Möbel im alten Quinta-Stil, unten ein sehr grosser Aufenthaltraum. Alles schön revoniert.

Bon hotel dans les hauteurs
Hotel dans les hauteurs ; j’ai apprécié le jacuzzi ( en accès libre) , la gentillesse du personnel, le repas du soir , la taille de la chambre Par contre, literie très dure, éventuellement bruyant selon les voisins, petit déjeuner ordinaire , le stationnement peut être difficile si l’hôtel est rempli
