travels aboard

After reading so many reviews regarding the Pinhal Do Sol, I came with an open constructive mind and decided to review the hotel honestly and open. First impressions is its definably not for the loud and lively bunch who require a fun packed break, more of a laid back quiet approach to life, we arrived early for check in, so decided on spending a couple of hours at the pool side, What hits you first is the peace, the quietness of the pool area, only around 3 couples around the pool, this is the norm, most of the guests have hired cars and are away all day.

Indeed, you could well imagine a Sarmatian nobleman in his fur-trimmed coat and silk belt, banging his flagon on the table and singing a rowdy tune with his comrades in arms. This restaurant serves a good range of traditional Polish dishes, from bigos (a hunters stew), to fried trout and perch. It would make a good choice for a family dinner, and young children are sure to enjoy the atmosphere Pod Krzyzykiem Pod Krzyzykiem is something of a tongue-twister for non-Slavic souls - it means under the little cross. Inside, you'll find a distinctive restaurant with all kinds of eccentric Cracovian flourishes. The owner has woven echoes of Stanislas Wyspianski's designs into the decor, with spiralling chestnut leaf balustrades, which were a hallmark of Cracovian art nouveau.
