Summary of reviews related to the '5 Star' categoryQuinta Mirabela - Design Hotel has received mixed reviews regarding its five-star rating, with several guests suggesting that it aligns more closely with a four-star standard.

Notably, breakfast has been a common point of critique, with guests expecting more from a five-star establishment, including freshly ground coffee and better quality food offerings. Additionally, some guests felt that the bedding could be improved, finding the mattresses uncomfortable and not meeting the luxury standards expected at this level. While the location offers the potential for a scenic stay, it can be challenging to reach by foot due to a steep road, which might be something to consider for those planning to explore the surrounding area.
