Hotel Finca Los Abetos

Great location, however if you don't have a car or transport it would be difficult to get into town. Staff very pleasant on arrival and the entirety and could speak English which was good for us with very limited Spanish.
The room was a good size, however we had issues with the hot water, being that it went from hot to cold the entire time of the shower and you could not regulate it yourself. Also the room temperature could not be changed. The first night of our stay we had put the temperature all the way down to 15° and it was still blowing hot air into the room. The following night we had to sleep with the window open the whole time. This was not ideal as it was pouring rain and a lot of people were coming and going all night.
First night the treadmill did not work at the gym also but to their credit they did replace this with a working one the following day.
Overall I would recommend but just need to fix up a few things.

The location is in a lovely place in the hills away from the city. The view is beautiful from the room. However we found that the staff at the reception were exceptionally rude. They never greeted us, and found it troublesome to even explain basic hotel information. We had a dinner included in the price that was very mediocre food and was very salty. The rooms had VERY thin walls. I could hear the neighbours television even with earplugs in and the beds were unstable. Other than that, the breakfast was nice and much better than the dinner. I expected much better things from other people’a reviews.

Liked: Reception staff were very friendly. Rooms need updating but were comfortable.

Disliked · Breakfast needs some serious improvement. They had scrambled eggs and sunny side up. The scrambled were alright but the fried eggs were cold and greasy tasting. Options were limited. No fresh fruit! Staff were not available to greet you as you entered so you were left to fend for yourself. Espresso coffee was good but the other options from the machine were nothing to write home about.
The hotel is located mountain side and the road we took to get to it was windy and treacherous. The locals are used to it but even experienced drivers from North America are easily traumatized by the experience. But that's not the hotel's fault.
Value for money, I have stayed in several places across Portugal that were more luxurious and comfortable for much less.
