Paradores, Vilar de Perdizes

"Business investment on the hill with great views. Spa area (free for guests) is nice, Sauna was hot. Breakfast was much low value in my eyes: they are using 2024 self baked rolls (Lidl, Makro?) though Portugal has such a tradition with bakeries. Saving every penny here? Coffee as usual from vending machine under average. Hotel is on top of the hill with evening and morning sun, the area seems to be bit rotten, as some parkings are blocked (there was more potential business expected when they planned the area). I think the rates between 100-130€ for double are by far too much for the isolated town of Chaves close to spanish border. Rooms are from 2007 (planned 2003 so 20 years old design), bit old fashioned dark wooden 4* style. Small alibi flat screen TV (they want you to gamble....) indoor pool is also used by local services (swimming school), could be kept bit more clean (plastic stuff at borders)"
