We stayed at this apartment last week, we booked the room using Booking and found the pictures they show to be deceptive. They have an ugly extension that hasn't been finished built on the side containing the inside pool. They hire access to the pool out to non residents this means the pool is always packed with people and so loud its unbearable to spend time there. The outdoor pool which we booked the hotel for was out of action and looked like it had been for sometime, when we asked they said this was because of the rain they had but there was no effort to explain this at checkin.

Please do remember this is a pension and not a 5 star hotel, so you get the best service...

Having no idea what to choose from on the menu we asked the hostess and she suggested the house special. The food was incredible. Along with our excellent food, she provided 500ml of palinça on the house...homemade of course. During our dinner the owner came over to greet us. As it turns out he also owns the butcher shop where the meat that we ate came from. The following morning our breakfast (included in the rate) was equally impressive & plentiful. Unfortunately we didn't take advantage of either pool but they looked clean and...
