I found a hidden gem in the Monchique mountains! The hotel is nestled in this serene area, perfect for relaxation. My room was lovely, with a charming view of the garden and pool, but the dining experience was a bit disorganized, especially during the breakfast rush. The spa facilities need some improvement, but the overall ambiance is inviting and cozy. I would love to return, even with some minor hiccups during my stay.
