It was a beautiful hotel with an amazing outside area with a pool and jacuzzi. The jacuzzi had just been installed and was not available for use by guests yet. Sophia, the hotel manager, could not have been more welcoming, helpful, friendly, and thoughtful. She even picked us up from the town center! We had been walking the Portuguese Camino and were quite tired when we got into town. We called to get directions to the hotel, and she offered to pick us up. Sophia is an amazing asset to the hotel! We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary and our 70th birthdays. When we got to our room, Sophia had made us a handwritten card, provided delicious chocolates, and sprinkled flower petals on our dresser. It was a lovely surprise! The room was comfortable, and we had a very pretty view from our window.

The location is far from the town center, but well worth the extra time to get there. We would have liked more offerings for breakfast. Yogurt, some juice, and some fruit would have been appreciated.

The hotel has a nice exterior area next to the swimming pool, including a barbecue place and a nice garden house ("the champignon"). Thanks to the fast wifi connection I was able to combine work and vacation perfectly (workation). The receptionist was always extremely helpful when we needed any help and in the end, she even sent us some thing via mail that we forgot in the room (thanks, Sofia, the Galician olive oil arrived undamaged :))

Omg where do I start! Super clean very well looked after property. Sofia, who runs the place, made every effort to make us feel comfortable. She and her husband even came and picked us up by car in Sao Bento due to the raging storm to bring us to the aparthotel in A Guarda. Talk about great customer service

The room was beautifully furnished, lovely views and very clean. Very comfortable. The pool and facilities were very good. Sophie was very welcoming and friendly, she is a huge asset to the hotel and did everything to make our stay special.

There wasn’t anything we didn’t like about the hotel The 15 minute walk from the Camino

I had the most wonderful time at Apartamento Marouco. Loveley and very friendly staff. Sofia was so funny and warm and I felt so very welcome. The pool was so nice and I even had the chance to try the new jaccuzzi. The room was so clean and had everything that I needed. Thank you for everything! /Lotta

This gem is an absolute 10 !!! It was a privilege staying there . At one side the mountain , at the other side the sea and in front a beautiful garden with a lovely pool! But the ace in this hotel is Sofia , the lady who runs the place with kindness and effectiveness! Thank you Sofia we will always remember your smile and your positive energy 🙏 It was a little bit out of the Camino, but it was worth it.

Hotel Marouco is amazing. The host was so lovely, making me a cup of tea and offering to put on the jacuzzi for me. Really warm and helpful. The best was one of the comfiest of the Camino.

Comfortable, quality decor, peaceful, nice pool but most important was our host, Sofia. A remarkable host who went over and above to make our stay memorable. Truly, she is a gem.

Best hotel manager we have met by far! She is one of a kind! Hope the owner of the hotels treat her in the same way as she treats all of the customers.

We wanted to stay a bit longer, but we cant.

Sophie are host was awesome and went out of her way to assist us. We have been on the Camino since Sept 8 and the beds were the best of the places we stayed
