炊事與自然之巢

We sometimes get bored of large chain hotels so The Nest Hotel was a very refreshing change. This hotel has many quirks but the entire experience was quite lovely and enjoyable. While the hotel is not part of a large chain, it is part of Mr & Mrs Smith and can also be booked on Hyatt's platform. The hotel is a bit in the middle of nowhere and there are no alternatives nearby except other independent hotels. It's about one third of the way between Lisbon to Porto. The nearby location has many trails for hiking or biking. We booked an "apartment" which had a fully stocked kitchen and a bird theme as per the name of the hotel and our room was entirely made of wood. I found the construction quality to be very good. For breakfast it was unusual in the sense that they brought a basket to our room for a picnic rather than make guests go to a large central restaurant. The one downside was that the selection was rather limited without interesting dishes that stood out from the ordinary, unlike the rest of the hotel which is quite unique and imaginative.
