Moinhos do Paneiro

Super authentic and familiar location on a great place! Clean and very nice apartments. Great vegetation, nice pool and very friendly people. Very special and energetic place with a fabulous 360 degrees Roundview to the sea. Perfect place to stay and calm down with family and friends.

Fantastic concept but needs some tweaking. The place is ideally situated in the countryside away from noise and traffic, down a dirt country road with no one around with beatifull grounds, a beatiful pool, but the rooms (at least my room) needed much improvement. We stayed in one of the "casitas" down from the windmills, the exterior looked very nice, and the inside wasn't a bad room, it just needed help with the amenities. The bed didn't look very inviting it was pushed against one corner of the room with a set of stairs going to the loft across the bottom corner of the bed, a small kitchenette at the entrance and a very small bathroom, besides being old it that needed the most help. The hand held shower had no place to hang (it set on top of the faucets). so you had to wet yourself, put the shower down, than soap up and then wash yourself off. The soap dispenser had no soap (good thing we bought our own) and the sink was just a sink on a cabinet with no place to put your toiletries (Equivalent to a 'one star' hotel). Aside from all of this the place had a covered sitting area at the entrance with a small table and chairs where breakfast was left in a basket in the morning and a daybed. No one told us we had to take the breakfast basket back up to the main house? so it set there all day with milk, cheese and yogart in it. Parking is another issue, it's aleast 100 yards or more from our 'casita' you have to carry your bags that distance along gravel paths thru the woods. The windmills, one was converted into a liabrary and the other into an exercise room and the main building were all very well apointed and decorated, wish they had carried that design thru all of the rooms. All-in-all the place was okay just needs some improvements.
