–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- A mixed bag on facilities — Facilities rate just 7.5, the lowest category, so expectations should be moderate regarding on-site amenities beyond the pool and garden.
- One low-scoring category pulls the average down — The unnamed 'cat7' category sits at 6.5, likely reflecting a specific aspect of the stay that some guests found wanting.
- Location is a walk from the historic centre — The inn is about a 20-minute walk from Museu Forte Defensor Perpetuo, so be prepared to walk or use transport to explore the old town.
- Limited room options for larger groups — Families have the Standard Family Room with three single beds, but there are no options with a double bed and singles in the same room.
