pousada estrela matutina

Awesome.

I picked this place because of the good reviews on Hoteis․com, but the value for money was terrible in my opinion. It felt practically abandoned. The rooms were poor and the beds awful, and the shower was just as bad. Breakfast was ridiculous, with old food and horrible plates and cups. The pool seemed to be just for show since it wasn’t working, and there was nobody around to help.

It’s a quiet, family-friendly place where we felt at home. Everything was clean and well organized, and the room was very comfortable. The location is good, the breakfast was delicious, and the pool really was warm. The owner who welcomed us was very attentive. It’s especially suitable if you have kids, since there’s a small pool just for them. I highly recommend it.

The place urgently needs renovation. There’s no reception, and the photos make it look bigger than it is. Parking is unmanaged, with spaces left inefficiently or cars blocking each other in. Breakfast wasn’t replenished, and the staff seemed to hide so we wouldn’t ask for anything. The pool water was supposedly heated, but it felt like a psychological effect. We went once and won’t be back.
