Clean, spacious, great location, pleasant greeting upon arrival and we were given a map with great suggestions for activities. Also, it rained while we were there so we were happy to have use of umbrellas conveniently placed at the door Humble looking bar immediately next door had delicious bacalhau croquettes and generous serving of wine and could sit and look at the beautiful view over the river.
