Hôtel Picada, Barra do Ribeiro

"The property is well located and on the face of it has good amenities but there is 1 major issue and that is noise! If you are a city dweller it might be OK but for someone who lives in the depths of the country the noise that passes through the poorly closing single glazed windows can be bothersome. Additionally if you are situated on the 13th (top) floor as I was then be prepared to listen to the elevators and a variety of pumps on the roof that will disturb your sleep throughout the night . The best option is rooms on the rear of the building and not on the top floor. On the plus side the breakfasts are excellent, the rooms are spacious (if a bit dated) and location is very good."
