Finde Hotels in Calvos

This Pousada is located in an old Monastery. The owners have done a super job of creating a modern up to date hotel out of what was a former Monastery. The conversion from Monastery to Hotel had been tastefully and sympathetically done. This Pousada is a bit remote to get to and in a small town that has two cafe bars. We arrived here on a Sunday when the two local cafe bars were closed leaving us with no alternative but to dine an the Pousada restaurant. The meal was acceptable but a bit expensive for what it was. On arrival it is necessary to check in at Reception which is on the first floor. Ordinarily this would not be a problem but it is a problem when 30 or so guests are trying to check in at the same time with one small lift only available for the guests and their luggage. It took us half an hour to reach our room. Our bedroom was far too small to accommodate two adult guests. There was nowhere to leave a suitcase open which most touring guests living out of a suitcase need to do. Lighting In the bedroom was a waste of space. Impossible to read a book in bed. Our bedroom was badly designed. The bathroom door opens out on to the wardrobe door and bumps into the person using the wardrobe. The rail in the wardrobe is too high to be used with ease. You need to be a Giant to reach the coat hanger hooks. There were no instructions as to how to work the air conditioning. There were no instructions as to how to work the television. In the bathroom there is a notice from the hotel asking guests to save water. The hotel could lead by example and provide a plug for the wash hand basin. The wash hand basin plug was noticeably missing. This is because the wash hand basin did not have an over flow pipe. Within a few seconds the basin would fill with water and cause a flood. Whoever thought of installing a hotel wash hand basin that you could not use properly ought to be reprimanded. This hotel need to take out all the existing plug less wash hand basins and replace them with new wash hand basins with plugs and overflows. The cost should be recovered from the person who designed such stupid plug less wash hand basins. The one good thing about this hotel is the fact that the Toaster at Breakfast did work.

We were on a month long trip to Portugal in May. Made all of the traditional stops with a few off the beaten track, but not to be missed, stops. Stayed 3 nights at Pousada Canicada-Geres so we could do some hiking in Portugal’s National Park (Peneda-Geres). What a beautiful place to stay. Comfy sitting areas with fireplaces. Amazing views from our balcony and from the hotel in general. Delicious breakfast with many choices ( fresh fruit, breads, eggs, cereals, fresh yogurt, cheeses) . Friendly staff. We arrived late and we were met with a warm welcome despite the hour. Great place to stay.

Nous sommes venu en famille (2 adultes et 2 enfants 3 et 5ans) début juillet 2023, la personne à l'accueil n'a fait aucun effort pour échanger avec nous. Parlant français et un peu portugais, celle ci n'a même pas essayé de communiquer doucement avec nous ou même de trouver des moyens pour nous expliquer les choses. De plus, l'impression d'être pris de haut ou même de le déranger. Une fois la chambre payé pour 4 personnes, nous sommes monté et surprise un seul lit double pour 4 dans une petite chambre. Nous sommes redescendu à l'accueil et la solution apporter étais de rajouter un petit lit d'appoint dans la chambre déjà petite. Verdict nous avons pris nos bagage et sommes partis. Je retiens un mauvais accueil, aucun effort de la personne à l'accueil pour Communiquer avec nous un prix excessif pour une petite chambre Je ne retournerai plus dans cet hôtel.

Wir hatten ein sehr geräumiges Zimmer auf Ebene der Rezeption. Es war ruhig, warm (im November nicht zu verachten) und gepflegt, auch wenn das Mobiliar schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen wirkte (klemmende Schranktüren, abblätterndes Furnier). Mir persönlich hat der offene Badbereich nicht so gut gefallen, aber das ist sehr subjektiv. Die öffentlichen Räume sind hell und modern, der Frühstücksbereich wirkt dagegen etwas dunkel und antiquiert. Die Auswahl am Frühstücksbuffet war gut und die Qualität der Speisen und Getränke stimmte. Beim Check-in war die Begrüßung etwas verhalten und reserviert, dafür war das übrige Personal ausgesprochen hilfsbereit, bemüht und freundlich, wenn man mit den Leuten ins Gespräch gekommen ist. Wir waren das 2. Mal auf dem Wallfahrtsberg und können das Hotel do Parque im Vergleich zu einem der anderen beiden Hotels auf dem Berg mehr empfehlen.

Un acierto o una suerte haber elegido este hotel para una visita rápida a Braga puesto que el propio hotel está situado en pleno monumento a visitar (bom Jesús do monte) y muy cerca de otro punto de interés (basílica de sameiro) donde pudimos disfrutar de un atardecer de esos épicos (gracias a la recomendación de la recepcionista del hotel). El hotel es antiguo y seguro le vendría bien un repaso, pero está limpio, es bonito y está muy buen situado. Razones de sobra para darle una muy buena valoración.
