Estalagem Abrigo da Montanha

The view and the location.

Where to start? The bathroom was dirty including thick dust on the wall heater and rust coming through the bath enamel. the bed sheets were old, stained and had holes in them. The blankets were very old, worn thin and were frayed around the edges. The advertised bar was closed and the restaurant used for breakfast only, it had fire fighting equipment missing and some of the chairs were held together with electric wire. Breakfast was poor. This hotel appeared to have once been smart, comfortable and stylish with good facilities and gardens. Now it is run down and poorly maintained, especially the bedrooms.

The pool but needs renovation. As advertised it’s the highlight.

Sound of squeaky rusty bed springs! This place has its merits. We both agreed the views are spectacular and the pool area not so bad apart from a couple of loungers with folding bars broken. We questioned if the rest of it was. We were given a double bed when we expected 2 single beds, given the reason of being full. Now taken further from our expectations to the other side of the building that required climbing, an exaggeration I know, a thousand steps! The room itself was not so bad clean floors, but the balcony not swept along with the stairs. It was the sound of squeaky rusty bed springs crunching away. We could not sleep, the bed old. It’s springs worn with time, rustic to the turn tune. The bathroom had no light and the shower holder broken! It was not good! The accommodation reception lady was lovely and worked hard to manage our disappointment and we left, with 3 days returned, so thank you very much for this. She was understanding and very extremely helpful. After no sleep and our experience ‘noted’, all attentive at others check in.
