Reviewed Jul 25, 2026It was well located.
The staff were absolutely horrendous. They made us feel extremely unwelcome and uncomfortable, like we were infringing on their space. Upon arrival, the receptionist Rodrigo tried to scam us and gave us the worst room they had at the hotel, even though we paid for a larger more expensive room. It took an hour of arguing before he relented. The pool was dirty and full of dead bugs, and when we asked him to turn on the pool filter he said, it’s normal for there to be dead bugs in outdoor pools. The house is like a maze, with many rooms and hallways, often littered with discarded broken items such as exercise bikes, broken umbrellas, mop buckets: all giving it a feeling of a once-grand but now decrepit palace. There were many rooms and facilities for guest use but no one told us about them or gave us a tour so we always felt like we were infringing on someone else’s space. And in fact, we were; because someone actually lives there and wanders in and out of the hotel creepily with no explanation or acknowledgment. When we checked out, the lady just asked us for the key and told us where to exit. No smile. No questions about our stay. No wishes for a safe journey onwards. She just said, “use the front door to exit”.

Reviewed Jul 24, 2026A decoração do Solar faz a fusão entre o antigo e o moderno numa combinação que resulta na perfeição. Pequeno-Almoço com grande variedade e produtos de qualidade. Os espaços comuns são também muito agradáveis e cheios de histórias. Excelente localização mesmo no interior do centro histórico.
O isolamento acústico podia ser um pouco melhor no que diz respeito ao ruído dos outros quartos.

The hotel has an interesting history which is documented in the information book in the bedroom. Very good quality towels and bed linen and a lovely shower room. The hot el states that there is no parking but there is ample parking on the square in front of the hotel. We were travelling by motorbike and Ricardo allowed us to park in the gardens to the rear of the hotel. Perfect!
Beware Sunday's!!!! Reataurants are closed but there is a very charming cafe opposite the hotel which was open and served a superb toasted sandwich.
