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. If you are here for a chill out its perfect. Location is around 3 k from Quarteria and you are surrounded by fields and waste land, set in its own grounds it reminds you of a terraced street of 28 houses all in a row, the feeling is it was built as private apartments but never sold, so converted to guest rooms on 2 floors and a bar, restaurant t agged on the end. The restaurant hits you as pre 70,s its being a while since I saw one l...

Back from krakow , went out Wednesday 27th all resturants booked, hotel booked the ibis returned 1st September . Miod i Wino 'Honey and Wine' serves up old noblemans fare. 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. This is an upmarket place offeri...
