Breakfast
Type, timing, what to expect

Breakfast receives mixed reviews, with some guests finding it too light or lacking options. A common complaint is the late start time (9 am) and the absence of proper coffee before then.

Practical notes
  • If you need an early start, plan for breakfast elsewhere or bring your own coffee
  • Manage expectations regarding coffee quality and variety at breakfast

Breakfast somewhat too light missing some option but understandable due to small size

complaintPortugalFeb 2026

No proper coffee in the morning and not until about 9 am. They only had one of those awful dolce gusto pod machines. A proper filter coffee and available from 7 am would be great even if breakfast not available as some need to leave earlier. Breakfast starts late.

Access to tea/coffee prior to 9am would good. Breakfast earlier than 9am.

The wider food experience

The food, particularly dinner, receives exceptional praise for its quality, variety, and personalized service, including accommodating dietary needs.

The cuisine was fantastic. I would never eat anywhere else. Best food we had in Portugal in fact. Evening meal 10/10. Good wine selection.

As a vegetarian, I really appreciated how they went out of their way to prepare special meals for me, and I even had one of the best desserts of my life here. Highly recommended!
