Guest Reviews
- Sarah (9/5): -
- Duarte (9/5): -
- Harald (9/5): Super nette Gastgeberin die uns viele tolle Tipps per WhatsApp geschickt hat, oder auch persönlich. - Absolut ruhige Lage um zu entspannen. Zu wenig Steckdosen und Handtuchhalter im Bad. Eine Garderobe wäre auch schön.
- Volker H. Richter (3/5): Ruhig, aber mit erheblichen Mängeln - Das Frühstück war teils in Ordnung teils nicht. In Ordnung war das frische Rührei, der selbstgebackene Kuchen, die Kürbis-Marmemelade und das frisch geschnittene Obst und der frisch gebrühte Kaffee. Nicht „ok“ war der frische O-Saft, wenn er aus importierten Orangen gemacht wurde (und nicht mit denen aus der Algarve), dann war er sauer oder wässrig. Auch das Landbrot war zuweilen schlecht aufgeschnitten (Messer stumpf?). Richtig enttäuschend war der Aufschnitt - Wurst und Käse aus industrieller Herstellung. Bei einer Location, die in Instagram-Videos von einem luxoriösem Resort spricht, erwarte ich regionale Produkte!!! Die Lage ist einmalig, ja und es ist sehr ruhig hier. Morgens wird man mit Vogelgezwitscher geweckt. Nicht in Ordnung war der Zustand der Anlage. Diese wirkte nicht nur ungepflegt, sondern teilweise auch schon in in einem gewissen Zustand des Verfalls. Ich konnte nirgends draußen sitzen, weil alles verdreckt beziehungsweise verstaubt war, auch wurde der Pool erst am Samstag für weitere Gäste vorbereitet. Ich war bereits am Dienstag angereist. Das Zimmer, das ich zuerst bewohnte, ließ erheblich zu wünschen übrig - siehe die Fotos mit der abgenutzten weissen Couch, dem Nachtischchen von IKEA - ebenfalls ziemlich abgenutzt und mit der Steckdose am Boden. Schimmel im Bad unter dem Waschbecken. Die Betreiberin Monika McGill kam mir dann entgegen mit einem Upgrade für eine kleine Ferienwohnung für 20 € pro Tag mehr. Das fand ich fair und dafür bedanke ich mich auch. Allerdings ließ auch die kleine Ferienwohnung zu wünschen übrig. So gab es im Bad überhaupt keine Ablage für den Kulturbeutel. In die Badewanne zu steigen war nicht ungefährlich, weil es keinen Haltegriff gab und ich musste aufpassen, dass ich nicht ausrutschte. Der Duschkopf hatte keine Wandhalterung und musste in der Hand gehalten werden. Die Heizlüfter für das Bad war defekt, so dass ich jeden Morgen in einem kalten Bad geduscht habe. Ebenso ging kein einziger Heizkörper in der gesamten Wohnung nicht. Wenn ich Netflix oder andere Programme hätte gucken wollen, hätte ich ein Abo abschließen müssen. Deutsche Programme waren nicht zu empfangen. Es gibt keine klare Wegführung runter zum Fluss. Auch gab es überhaupt keine Zusatzangebote wie in den sozialen Medien angekündigt z.B. Yoga. Es war total tot hier. Wenn ich bedenke, dass ich fast 1300 € für 7 Nächte gezahlt hab, komme ich mir ziemlich über den Tisch gezogen vor. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt hier in keinem Fall. Auch waren die Möbel deutlich erkennbar aus dem Möbelhaus IKEA. Das entspricht nicht im Standard von Hotellerie. An zwei Abenden und zwei Nächten war ich komplett allein in der Anlage - als einzige Person. Das machte mir Angst!!
- Romana (9/5): - Die Unterkunft liegt völlig abgeschieden über dem Fluss, wenige Kilometer vom herrlichen, beschaulichen Vila Nova do Milfontes entfernt. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Terrasse, Liegen und Sitzmöglichkeit mit einer wunderschönen Aussicht. Das Frühstück wurde auf Wunsch draußen serviert. Es gab alles, was man braucht. Das überaus freundliche Personal hat uns verwöhnt. Es war alles sauber und gepflegt. Monika hat uns Tipps für Essen und Unternehmungen per WhatsApp zusammengestellt. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt .Am Nachmittag wurden wir immer mit selbstgebackenem Kuchen verwöhnt. Es war kein Abzug im Bad. Die Feuchtigkeit ist schlecht abgezogen..
- Sandra (10/5): Experência a repetir. - Localização, sossego, vista, conforto, simpatia e disponibilidade do staff, pequeno almoço. Tudo excelente. Nada.
- Matteo (9/5): Bellissimo - La vera forza di questa struttura è senza dubbio la proprietaria, Monica: estremamente disponibile, gentile e capace di rendere il soggiorno davvero piacevole. Un altro grande punto a favore è la colazione, preparata al momento e con un’offerta ricca e di qualità, difficilmente riscontrabile anche in strutture di livello superiore. La posizione non è centrale, ma è immersa nella natura e regala una vista che merita assolutamente.
- Sophie (10/5): -
- Annette (8/5): Wir kommen gerne wieder. - Das Haus ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet. Zur Begrüßung wartete im Haus ein leckerer Kuchen auf uns und auf dem Küchentisch stand ein sehr schöner Blumenstrauß. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker, das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Toller Ort zum Entspannen. Es war im Haus ziemlich kalt.
- Daniel (9/5): -
- Sofía (10/5): Relax, comodidad y enclave perfecto - Todo es perfecto, el enclave es precioso. El desayuno muy rico, la atención cercana y personalizada, el alojamiento súper bonito y cómodo. Tuvimos la suerte además de que nos hicieran un upgrade. Sin duda lo hemos recomendado a amigos y familia y tenemos plan de volver y quedarnos más días.
- Marjolein (10/5): Piece of paradise :) - Such an amazing property. We were here in March and everything was green, blooming and flowering. I recommend waking up with the first sunlight and having a stroll to the river. Many birds, a donkey, sheep and a cute goat. We loved the breakfast, with view over the river. Staff was very friendly. Overall, an amazing stay during our trip.
- Franziska (9/5): Eine sehr schöne entspannte Unterkunft - Die Lage direkt am Fluss und damit die Aussicht; die Freundlichkeit des Personals Die Zufahrt könnte besser beleuchtet sein (ca. 2 km unbeleuchteter Feldweg); ein paar Teebeutel / Kaffee wären schön gewesen.
- Hugo (10/5): -
- Gerd (8/5): -
- Carina (9/5): -
- Andreas (8/5): - Die Lage des Haus ist grandios in der Natur gelegen. Die Aufnahme war sehr freundlich. Unsere Ferienwohnung war sehr nett eingerichtet und gut ausgestattet. Das Frühstück war ausreichend. Es gab auf Wunsch sogar ein Spiegelei. Ein Problem für uns war, dass der sehr kleine Heizkörper nebst Klimaanlage es nachts nicht geschafft hat, den grossen und hohen Raum nur ansatzweise zu beheizen.
- Ezra (9/5): - A wonderful stay at a lovely property. From the moment we arrived, it was evident that this place was truly special. The unique landscape and intriguing hiking trails added so much charm to our experience, making it all the more memorable. The room we stayed in was impeccably clean. Monica, the host, provided fantastic dinner recommendations that were spot on. Breakfast was great too, with array of local ingredients ensuring there was something for everyone to enjoy. We were so impressed with our experience that we will definitely be returning in the future.
- Descartes (9/5): -
- Anzen (9/5): Fantastic host & wonderful place! - Monica och övrig personal var enastående bra. Alltid ett leende och hög servicegrad. Härligt läge på platsen & fin pool med utsikt mot älven. Vädret blev sämre än vi förväntade och därmed svårighet med att utnyttja alla fina gångvägar mm.
- David (9/5): A very pleasant stopover - The ambience of the place was very good and relaxing. Breakfast was excellent - and healthy. The staff and management were friendly and helpful. Booked dinner for us in town - and this proved to be very good. Our only criticism was that the mattress was pretty uncomfortable
- Luis (9/5): -
- Lichterbeck (10/5): -
- Katia (7/5): -
- Tomas (10/5): Un sito 10 para ir en familia! - El servicio y el equipo. Estuvimos muy bien atendidos en todo momento. Muy recomendable!
- Lorenzo (8/5): Séjour agréable dans une maison isolée avec piscine commune et une vue extraordinaire sur le fleuve - la situation panoramique, le dépaysement, la nature au milieu de nulle part et bien sur le petit dejeuner servi avec généreusité et convivialité pour bien commencer la journée! le manque de clarté de notre chambre avec une exposition très Nord, mais la terrasse avec vue sur le fleuve Mira nous faisait oublier ce petit bémol.
- Maureen (10/5): Serenite et nature ! - La location, la vue et le petit déjeuner! Ce n’est pas vraiment un point négatif, c’est subjectif - prévoir un sèche cheveux pour les dames et le matelas était un peu dur pour nous.
- João Queirós (10/5): - Simpatia de todo o staff. Propriedade lindíssima com acesso ao rio através de um bonito passeio. Pequeno almoço óptimo. Excelente localização perto de VN Milfontes. Nada a apontar.
- Leonel (9/5): -
- Carla (9/5): - A localização e o atendimento! Falta o ar condicionado.
- Catarina (8/5): -
- Guida (6/5): Muito caro para o conforto que oferece - Paisagem lindíssima. Simpatia do staff Não tem ar condicionado, o que foi muito desagradável porque esteve muito calor. Pouca privacidade do espaço exterior. Espaço interior necessita de remodelação. Piscina deveria ser limpa diariamente. Pequeno almoço é servido muito tarde (9am) para quem tem crianças
- Domingues (8/5): -
- Dunja (10/5): - Die Lage mit Aussicht auf den Fluss ist atemberaubend. Wunderschöne authentische Unterkunft, liebevoll eingerichtet. Fantastisches Frühstück! Sehr Bequeme Betten. Es werden sehr schöne Strandtücher und ein Sonnenschirm für den Strand zur Verfügung gestellt. Haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt. Sehr liebes Personal. Fand es leicht überteuert, aber es ist schon was besonderes. Aus dem Badezimmer roch es manchmal etwas streng. Das liegt aber wahrscheinlich an den Sickergruben. Man kann damit leben, es ist eben ein altes Gebäude.
- Reto (9/5): - Excellent stay in a quiet and relaxing location. Deluxe suite in a separate house with all you need. Exceptional breakfast. Strongly recommended
- Ben (9/5): Thanks for a really memorable stay - we’ll be back - Beautiful location in unique, peaceful spot not far from great beaches. Lovely welcome and care from our host and staff. Nice home cooked breakfast. Nothing
- Nuno (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly, amazing location. Will return!!
- Gary (10/5): Amazing place ! - Everything ! Fantastic location and the views were amazing ! The villa was fabulous and so comfy with everything you would need . Also yummy cake for us ! Great breakfast too . Nothing
- Kai (5/5): Nice people, but the facility disappointed. - The staff was nice and accommodating. The breakfast was excellent and lovingly prepared. The facility and the accommodation is already very worn. The bed was too narrow and the mattress was already sagging. Considering the high price, we expected better.
- Lauren (10/5): Beautiful oasis away from it all with a lovely staff - We had an amazing time. Monica made our stay so special. She made us dinner reservations, a picnic to take on our hike and was so welcoming. Homemade breakfast was a highlight as were the beautiful views. Highly recommend! Accommodation was large, clean and had everything we needed. Family of 5 with little kids-this was their favorite stop on our Portuguese holiday. The hike to the river, the donkey, the tree swing, the pool. Loved it all.
- Glynne (9/5): A gem outside of the town - After spending an amazing two weeks travelling around Portugal we wanted some downtime and space to relax. The accommodation is comfortable and the owner and her staff are amazingly friendly and helpful. Breakfasts are exemplary - a great start to your day. Great views and walks to enjoy. Our suite was in a block of four set away from the main building - offering privacy, one assumes. I would have preferred a dividing wall (or at least a privacy screen) between the patios so we could enjoy the loungers and view without having to engage with neighbours. There is a delightful communal pool - but too “busy” with shouting kids for us. But perhaps that’s just us being picky and needing personal /quiet space.
- Aaron (10/5): Pure relaxation and serenity with friendly great service - We loved our stay here, the views across the river are amazing, Monica and her team were brilliant, helpful and friendly. room was great for 2 adults, 2 teenagers, WiFi worked well, breakfast with choice of wonderfully cooked eggs, muesli, fruit, the best coffee (we are vegetarian) enabled a great start in the morning. Best by far was just the location , so serene, swing overlooking the river is beautiful, yet short drive to great beaches and also Vila nova de Milfontes. Nothing
- Andrea (10/5): Lugar de paz - O lugar é incrível, um reduto de paz e natureza. Atendimento espetacular.
- Rafael (9/5): Superb - All surroundings, the place is unique with astonishing views, outstanding breakfast, very nice and friendly staff
- Lucille (10/5): Wonderful surroundings with comfort and ease and fabulous place to stay - The place is fabulous so many, the grounds are amazing and wonderful to walk around with loads of different places to sit and be The breakfast was just right and your privacy was upheld at all times Nothing
- Julie (9/5): Superb - The spot is absolutely fabulous! The view of the Rio Mira is breathtaking, especially for the sunrise. We also enjoyed the pool and the nice breakfast. We strongly recommend.
- Harvey (9/5): Peaceful stay at country estate with endless views - We stayed in the Villa, a smallish one bedroom apartment in one of the original buildings near the pool and breakfast building, which made access very simple. Direct view of river from our bedroom and private patio. (Another guest structure is much further away and is a bit of a walk, so if you have small children or issues walking, pay attention to which room you book). The grounds are very expansive with many hiking trails and picnic areas, even a primitive spring you could hike down to, as well as picnic areas and viewpoints a ways away from the main structures. A donkey and sheep (as well as goats?) can be enjoyed if you’re an animal lover. Very peaceful and quiet. Breakfast was served rather than buffet style, which was a refreshing change as well as complete and high quality with amazing views of the river and countryside. Our bed wasn’t the most comfortable, but not a big deal. Some might complain that furniture is dated, but I thought it kind of fit with the vintage style of the old building.
- Robert (10/5): - Monica and her staff are wonderful, the property is beautiful, quiet and peaceful. Breakfast is delicious and generous. For us, after 3.5 weeks of busy travel this was a perfect location to chill. We hung out during the day at the beaches, returned to shower and go back to town for dinner. It’s only 12 min to town/beach. Great place to stay, highly recommend!
- Joana (9/5): A pieace of heaven - The location and the views are superb. The room very big and spatious. Breakfast in the room was a gift from heaven. It was cold so it takes longer to heat up the room.
- Lowell (5/5): Passable - If sunny and warm, nice pool area Road to property not graded, rough:”; king room well away from view, owners did not pay attention to landscaping (weeds)
- Rene (8/5): - Endroit très calme, en pleine nature. Très bon petit déjeuner, personnel disponible et n’hésitait pas à nous recommander restaurants et endroits à visiter.
- Susan (10/5): Wonderful - Lovely pumpkin jam and liked sustainability ethos
- David (6/5): - There has always been a swampy sadness for me about these riparian landscapes such as the traveler finds at this bend of the Rio Mira. In this case, the Monte do Zambujeiro offers little to lift his mood. Perhaps Jose Saramago would have found a kernel here with which he could identify the "real" Alentejo as he made his way to Portugal early in the post-Salazar times. But today the traveler is greeted with a tired bed, a restaurant only open by special arrangement, and a hospitality that one may courteously describe as perfunctory and transactional. The traveler and his companion were reminded more than once of the check-out time (11 a.m.) and were careful to depart at 10:50 a.m. both to make the point and to be spared being tossed out like used linen. Others chasing the ghost of Portugal's literary Nobelist around the country may choose to stop and stay here, but this traveler will pass on doing so again, instead making his way on to a more comfortable place at which he and his companion may lay there weary heads. It takes the fullness of time to create a property that is memorable and worth visiting; it need not be the work of generations to provide a warm and generous hospitality.
- Hugo (9/5): Superb -
- Morag (10/5): Fabulous riverside/hillside retreat - A rare find! A a group of self-contained, characterful villas on a stunning estate and swimming pool within a protected nature reserve, with riverside & hillside views, and only a 10 minute drive to the nearest seaside town.
- Rita (9/5): Wonderful choice if you are looking for a peaceful holidays, surrounded by nature. - Breakfast was great, the location and views are amazing. Friendly staff, spacious room. Very close to the village. Would like to return! More clear signs about the location. It´s a bit hidden off the road.
- Vasco (10/5): Top - Friendly staff Well mantained Top room Beautiful view Simple but well run facilities
- Marc (8/5): Very good -
- Daniela (5/5): Beautiful spot, but wouldn't go there again. - The location is absolutely beautiful. The breakfast is amazing (except that you have to give a specific time when you'd like it, which I don't like too much in my holidays) I found it very misleading. The photos used on the booking website did not match at all the room we got. And the so called "lake-view" is not much more than a puddle that is even fenced. All in all, words and photos were misleading and the lady at the reception was not helpful at all, kept blaming booking.com. She then offered another room (which would have been much closer to what we had booked) for a very high price difference which we were not willing to give. So be aware, the rooms with "lake-view" are also a few hundred meters away from the main houses.
- Diana (8/5): Very good -
- Inês (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gabriela (8/5): Very good -
- Andrew (9/5): Superb -
- Ron (9/5): A little slice of paradise! - Monica was amazing! We received a wonderful welcome upon our arrival and then a reservation for a meal out for my birthday which was that day! She was so helpful and let us know about the time change that was happening that night (March 26th). Since we had to leave early to get our rental car back to the airport, Monica brought all we needed to have a little breakfast in our Villa the next morning. The amenities were great! She also upgraded us to a suite that was in the main building which was great as we were close to the pool and all the beautiful views overlooking the valley. We would have stayed longer and left behind some of our other a tops if we had realized how beautiful it was. Next time 😉 We felt very taken care of and highly recommend this property! Needs some updating (charming but dated) and a few maintenance issues but nothing that negatively impacted our stay.
- Duncan (9/5): LOVELY RELAXING LOCATION AND VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL HOST - VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL HOST.SUCH A TRANQUIL LOCATION
- Vera (8/5): Very good - O sossego e a simpatia do staff Os quartos podiam ter estores e a pousada devia ser pet friendly
- Michelle (9/5): Superb - Remote location with beautiful views! Breakfast is great, too, and the staff is very accommodating and friendly. A car is definitely needed to reach the location of the hotel and to get around. Some of the furniture in the room could use an update, however, the beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are spacious.
- Benjamin (10/5): beautiful place with a great staff. I’d love to have stayed longer. - clean. nice grounds. helpful, friendly staff
- Paulo (8/5): Very good - Prime location, very nice staff. Roomy flats, but a bit worn.
- Ricardo (9/5): Superb -
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ellinor (10/5): Fridfullt och vackert! - Vackert beläget, fin pool och god frukost. Rummet vi fick låg dock fem min promenad från reception och pool.
- Vittorio (10/5): - room very clean, spacious and beautiful view from the terrace. WIFI not always available, tv not working. It did not matter because we did not spend much time in the room.Staff very helpful, breakfast very good and we will remember always the amazing cakes available in the living room! We will return.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Monica's personal touch - she met us at the entrance off the main road and we followed her to the accomodation. She also took us to refuel the car and even printed our boarding passes for our return trip home.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Geweldige locatie - Prachtige lokatie, en toch nabij een dorp met alle voorzieningen.
- Adrian (8/5): Traumhafte Aussicht, aber eher eng für den Preis - Super schön gelegen an ruhiger Lage, absolut traumhaft für Geniesser. Einziges Manko: unsere Wohnung war zwar absolut niedlich, aber das Bett ist bloss 1.4 m breit und knarrt. Der Wohnbereich war in unserem Appartement auch eher unbrauchbar mit einer nicht zweckmässigen Couch. Trotzdem: wir fanden es sehr schön und die Lage ist wie oben erwähnt super. Der Preis könnte unter Berücksichtigung dieser Einwände rund 10 bis 15% tiefer sein.
- Gary (8/5): Beautiful little suite overlooking a river - When we checked in for our stay, we were told we had the best place and it was great. Two level suite with kitchen. Beautiful view overlooking the the river valley and about 10 minute drive to beach town with many restaurants. It’s way off the beaten path, down a dirt road that may me a touch hard to find. The breakfast was good. Only real big fault was no wifi in the suite, had to go to office and sit outside after office had closed. Great place to bring in some groceries and stay a couple days. And a quick note, check in ends at 6pm and no one is around at night, they do give you a number to call if you need it.
- Oliver (10/5): Ruhige Lage - schöne Aussicht - Hotelanlage liegt etwas außerhalb vom Hauptort und ist nur mit dem Navi auffindbar. Dafür war der Empfang herzlich und die Unterkunft sehr schön und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und das Frühstück war sehr gut. Rührei wurde frisch auf Wunsch zubereitet, ebenso war ein frisch gepresster Orangensaft selbstverständlich - alles super :-)
- sandra (10/5): Jewel - Fantastic location. 5 min drive to the wonderful beaches & very close to Vn Milfontes. Views are spectacular & has the feel of a very remote place. We have been twice now & would certainly recommend. Hospitable staff & lovely cakes. Breakfast is superb
- Charlotte (10/5): Super ! - Accueil parfait, petit-déjeuner devant le panorama magnifique, nous avions un petit appartement avec deux chambres et une cuisine parfaitement équipée. Terrasse et salon de jardin privative. Le lieu aspire au calme et à la détente, nous avons beaucoup apprécié de nous retrouver dans un coin un peu reculé mais à proximité de tout.
- Richard (8/5): A piece of tranquil heaven - This little patch of heaven was a tranquil retreat like nothing I have ever experienced before. Once you find it (and it's not easy...see below for directions) you enter an oasis of peace. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, the rooms are spacious although the bed was pretty hard but the panoramic views over the river valley below, matched with the absolute quiet and stillness, make it impossible not to relax and shift into a lower gear. Breakfast under the willow tree watching the very occasional boat drift up the river is the best way to start the day. Loved our stay here. Would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get away from it all. The nearest town offers a few restaurants and, as long as you don't expect Michelin Star, then you will be fine. Ask for restaurant recommendations from the staff - we were sent to a restaurant on a cliff top out of town that had fabulous views and great fish. Directions: As you approach Vila Nova de Milfontes from the north, do not go into the down, instead carry on down the main road and cross the river. There road goes uphill straight after the bridge and at the top of the hill, there's an unmade road on the left - turn down here and the hotel entrance is the second turning left (about half a mile). Follow this road to the end and the hotel is there. Enjoy, unwind and relax.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Makalös utsikt - Fantastisk panorama utsikt Inget stort komplex Nära naturen Trevlig personal utom frukost personalen
- Nuno (10/5): impossivel ficar só um dia! - Foi um pouco difícil encontrar à primeira. Falta informação na estrada. O espaço da recepção poderia ser maior e mais apelativo. O quarto estava impecavelmente limpo e o pormenor do bolo a chegada bem como fruta, agua no quarto, faz toda a diferença. Difícil não se sentir acarinhada, para não falar da senhora que nos preparou o café da manha que não deixou que nada faltasse. Vista fabulosa sobre o rio mira!
- Fernando H P (8/5): Apenas para uma noite. - Apenas para uma noite foi bom, apesar da condição do quarto ser ótima, o hotel não tem estrutura de apoio algum. Péssimo café da manhã e total abandono a noite.
- Seline (8/5): Kleines Hotel irgendwo im nirgendwo - Das Hotel liegt ca. 5 Autominuten von Milfontes entfernt. Nach einer Fahrt über eine holprige unbefestigte Strasse erreicht man zuerst das Gebäude mit den drei Studios und einem gemeinsamen Aufenthaltsraum, etwas weiter unten ist wohl das hauptsächliche Hotel mit der Rezeption, dem Restaurant und dem Pool. Die Angestellten waren sehr freundlich, viele sprachen aber kein Englisch. Wir waren zunächst alleine im Gebäude mit den Studios. Um etwa Mitternacht haben wir einen riesen Lärm vernommen und Babygeschrei gehört. Das ging leider die halbe Nacht so weiter, denn das Hotel ist sehr hellhörig. Das Frühstück wird zwischen 09.00 und 11.00(oder 11.30?) angeboten. Um 09.10 war leider noch niemand im Aufenthaltsraum, also warteten wir. Ein wenig später kam eine nette ältere Dame und machte und Frühstück, so dass wir um etwa 09.30 Uhr doch noch etwas zu Essen gekriegt haben und unsere Reise fortsetzen konnten. Die Studios sind sehr schön und modern eingerichtet, der Aufenthaltsraum verfügt auch über einen Fernseher und Radio und eine Selbstbedienungsbar.
- Sami (8/5): Hyvä kokemus - Rauhallinen sijainti, siistit huoneet ja hyvä palvelu. Aamiainen tehtiin ja tarjoiltiin paikan päällä.
