INATEL Linhares da Beira Hotel Rural

Breakfast was well above average for hotels in Portugal. The location and aspect was one of the best features. I am sorry we could not stay longer. Given the quality, I though the value was quite good.

At first we had difficulty getting to the swimming pool, as, even though it was near our rooms, all the nearest doors were locked and we had to go almost back to reception to access it.

The originality of the two older buildings. There was a good choice of breakfast. The location was peaceful, and there were a couple of restaurants nearby for dinner. The room was furnished beautifully and really clean.

The long walk between both buildings, including taking 2 lifts the walk along the linking corridor from reception to room, was 4.5 minutes. Although the room was serviced daily, the water wasn't replenished.

The hotel consists of two former houses, connected by a corridor. The architect made a superb job the conversion, blending the old and the new. The grounds were lovely, and well maintained. The swimming pool area was great for relaxing. Juliana was particularly pleasant and informative, when serving us drinks and snacks, in the bar/lounge area.

A good choice of breakfast food, but not that fresh. The scrambled egg and mini sausages were tasty, but got cold almost as soon as it was brought from the kitchen. I didn't like the coffee from the machine. Initially, it was hard to find the rooms and swimming pool, as there were no signs.

The grounds of the hotel were nice and the village, although remote was beautiful and quaint. The room had direct access to the garden and was spotless.

The check-in of not before 4pm was quite late.

The location in the center of a charming old village with great views on the surrounding mountains and the plain below. The architecture of the building ( an old mansion). Clean and comfortable rooms with A/C. Swimming pool and tennis court on the premises.

The orange juice at the breakfast was almost tasteless. Should be replaced by a higher quality juice. Room was not well isolated. One could hear the neighbours at night.

The location is great, the rooms were comfortable and large in size.

The hotel was short in staff, so we had to wait long everytime we needed something from the staff. The pool was not working. The rooms were far from the hotel entrance, which is not convenient.
