Tu alojamiento en Penela

En nuestra - yo y mi esposa- corta estadía en este hotel, pudimos confirmar lo que leímos en los comentarios escritos aquí. Desde luego la simpatía del ”personal” hasta el confort general, pasando por el ambiente tranquilo y tranquilo del lugar, como ”papel de fondo” a quien busca un lugar para descansar y relajarse. Pena que el circuito SPA (incluido en el estadía) No sería más apetitoso, porque no sólo el agua de la piscina, sino también la sauna estaban un poco por debajo de la temperatura deseada. Una situación que se debe revisar, como la altura del baño de la habitación, demasiado alta para personas de edad avanzada. Por lo demás, también una reparación para la habitación que, aunque cómodo y amplio, ”peca” (en nuestra opinión, por supuesto!!) por ser demasiado oscuro (terreno y paredes) así como las lámparas de mesa de cabeza muy lejos de la pared y, Por eso, a la merced de algunas ”cabezas” para los más distraídos ... como yo!!! La limpieza y la higiene son evidentes en todo el edificio y la indicación de las habitaciones, a la salida del ascensor y/o de las escaleras, en el alcatifa revela una cierta creatividad. Una cena muy buena y muy bien servida, siempre con un toque de alto profesionalismo, lo mismo se aplica, por cierto, al desayuno. Para terminar, nos gusta la zona de ocio que, por su implicación natural, tal vez merece una más cuidadosa mantenimiento.

Con una pareja amiga nos quedamos los.cuatro en la Casa da Terra. En el primer piso están las dos piezas, una alfrente de la otra, cada una con puerta con llave y en el segundo piso una super salamandra con una mesa de comedor, cocina integrada con todo lo necesario (hasta cafetera (Dolce Gusto)) y está el baño. Primero empiezo con la ”casa”. Cada pieza tiene una cama matrimonial, una Queen y la otra SuperKing... Yo dormí en la que estaba la SuperKing y la verdad es que la cama es comodísima pero el espacio de la pieza no da para una cama tan grande porque al abrir la puerta te encuentras casi encima de la cama. Una sugerencia que creo que es súper fácil de implementar es poner una silla, porque tampoco tiene clóset entonces ya que no tiene nada para colgar algo ya una silla ayuda. El lavatorio del baño no es muy cómodo porque si uno deja llave abierta un poco más de lo normal empieza a caer el agua por fuera... En general la ”casa” es súper cómoda . El desayuno buenísimo. Hay que llenar un formulario antes para marcar que cosas quieres para el desayuno. El comedor super relajado, super agradable. Dan ganas de estar mucho rato ahí . Caminar por la aldea es super agradable, tiene una tienda, un bar hasta una iglesia pero estaba todo cerrado cuando caminamos por ahí Es un lugar super especial que realmente es imperdible.

Tranquilo hotel a las afueras de Coimbra. Muy cómodo y tranquilo, con un jardin y una piscina para relajarse. Comimos bastante bien. Tienen una zona para niños pequeños ocn un tobogan y una habitacion con cuentos, pinturas, etc...

It's an old palace so some noise is to be expected through the walls but other than that it has excellent rooms with very comfortable beds, the restaurant is very good. Lovely staff. wonderful gardens and scenery. And the best of all, its pet friendly. They'll bring to the room the pet's own bed, blanket, toy, bowls. Fantastic attention to detail there also.

A ajuda começou desde o momento do primeiro telefonema para a pousada a solicitar preços e pormenores. Obtive muito mais do que o esperado! Informações sobre transportes, percursos pedestres, locais de interesse... A simpatia, a amabilidade e disponibilidade de todas as pessoas da receção foi cativante e influenciou positivamente a nossa escolha, que se mostrou acertada. Instalações simples, práticas e limpas. A possibilidade de utilização da cozinha e da lavandaria foram pontos extra. Agradecemos toda a hospitalidade que tiveram connosco e as fantásticas sugestões de passeio. Caminhar na serra da Lousã foi relaxante para a mente, mas a pousada foi o descanso do guerreiro após cada jornada.

Silvia was our receptionist and go-to person. She was truly AMAZING! She is a delightful young lady who was our contact person, greeted us, carried our luggage ( the stairs were a bit difficult for me), called taxis for us, brought extra blankets, prepared breakfast, recommended restaurants and sites in Ciombra…there was nothing she wasn’t available to do. She was always smiling and friendly. While the property is on a large piece of land and is farm like it is NOT in the countryside. It is in a suburban area 10-15 minutes from Coimbra. We were specifically attracted to being in the countryside so this was a disappointment. Even with Apple CarPlay, our gps system, we missed the street several times. The name of the street is not well marked. The property is behind a lovely gate and parking is readily available. This was a plus. Our room was very large ( bedroom, separate living room, bathroom, entry space)and had lovely views overlooking the grounds, the pool and distant mountains. We booked on *********** “ Family Room with Balcony” 441 sq/ft. and stayed Sept 29-Oct.1. The room was stylish and very clean with big windows overlooking the grounds. However there were many flaws. There were no glasses for water in the room, no water provided, no conditioner in the shower, no robes or slippers, only 2 very flat pillows, one set of towels. We were offered use of the communal kitchen but this was not inviting. We were shown the refrigerator and told there was a different shelf designated for each room. Too much like a college dorm or work fridge. We could use the kitchen as we wished but did not avail ourselves. Silvia did immediately bring us an extra duvet when we found the room too cold. She did offer to turn the radiators on but we were afraid we would find it too hot.There was no thermostat for us to control. There were enough outlets for adapters and charging cables. We did not expect USB ports as is common in Portugal.wi-fi was good. The worst was the shower. It’s a beautiful walk in with a rain shower but on the first morning my husband had cold water. I had scalding hot then tepid then cold. And yes…we do know how to turn on and adjust the water. On the second morning we both had COLD showers. The hair dryer was terrible…barely dried my short hair. The room was not serviced. We came back after a long day exploring Coimbra to find an unmade bed and wet towels. So we made the bed and used wet towels… The breakfast, again Silvia was the star, was in a small dark room with a buffet selection on a narrow sideboard. There were decent choices…cheeses, bread and good coffee and scrambled eggs. One table was so close to the sideboard we couldn’t access those foods without being rude. We did take taxis into Coimbra . We thankfully had a hotel address card to show drivers for our return trip. Even with that, both drivers had a difficult time finding the property. People have their own travel styles. This property has prove
