A quality orientated property, in a slightly off centre location, away from the beach in an unexciting residential area.
The quality furnishings and decor add style and character to the property, which has a larger and prestigious operation nearer the coast at Santa Eulalia.
Attracts couples from all over Europe who seek a peaceful and relaxing base away from the hubbub of the main resort centre.

Interior
The comfortable and stylish interior is inviting and warm in appearance with many typical Portuguese designs and artworks on display.
The large marble clad lobby has a welcoming reception desk and a seating area. Stairs and a lift lead down to a large and tastefully designed buffet restaurant with tall windows looking out on to the pool.
The bar is again well arranged and congenial, with a small entertainment area.
A well-equipped spa is one of the property’s main features and offers a wide range of treatments.
Rooms: 195
Grounds
The pool is rather small for the number of rooms, especially when remembering the distance from the beach. There are neat and well-tended lawns but a limited amount of space for unhindered relaxation.
The terrace is sparse and sterile looking although there is an amphitheatre-like structure for open-air entertainment. A bowling green is also available and a bridge over the pool adds a little style and interest.
Location
Area Type: In a relatively quiet area, 200m from a sports stadium in a slightly raised location behind the main resort area. There are numerous private apartment buildings in the immediate vicinity with a few local shops and snack bars on offer. Otherwise, it is necessary to venture down to the resort centre, 500m away, and across the main dual carriageway. A courtesy bus operates to the old town and beach.
Nearest beach: 2km (Inatel)
