Cernache do Bonjardim Vacations from ￥178,739

From the minute I arrived, I was made to feel very welcome. The pretty, tiled entrance was a cool haven from the heat. I booked a superior room with a balcony which was spacious, clean and a bit of a treat for solo travelling me. The decor of the room was modern and comfortable - very comfy bed, too - plenty of storage. A good sized shower room, clean towels everyday. Breakfast was a nice, fresh buffet - with the option of cooked eggs if you want. A good selection of cold cuts, bread, cheese, fruit, juice, hot drinks.... Everything is immaculate in the little dining room. All staff that I met were delightful - friendly, chatty, caring and happy to help with recommendations. A nice touch was the communal mini bar - a cold beer after 8-10 hours walking and exploring was always going to hit the mark! I loved my time at 1869 - as a solo female traveller it is crucial to have a safe place to return to and rest each evening. And the final thing to comment on is the proximity to cafés, restaurants, high end shops, gardens and some truly beautiful residential roads.

Great hotel. Friendly staff. Very good location

The foyer carpet was stained. The walls in our room were dirty , could do with some new paint. No water replaced in rooms. Hotel is not maintained

Perfect stay with a very wonderful room and breakfast
