"o pequeno almoço é servido no loggia, junto à piscina, em louça de porcelana, sempre diferente, oriunda de diferentes países, da Europa ao oriente"
I'm sorry to bother you again (I thought I wouldn't do it more) but now I can't make sense of anything more, it seems. How can I distinguish the "louça de porcelana" from "pequeno-almoço" here?
I translated like this:
Breakfast is served at the loggia, near the swimming pool, delivered on china, always different, coming from different countries, from Europe to the East
Thanks!

: Yes, because china is a specigic type of porcelaine, I think, so too specific in this case.

Não tem sentido....Eu sei que'tás escrito ORIUNDA más eu penso que deve ser ORIUNDO= pequeno almoço At hotels, the point is a variety of breakfasts from different countries from the Middle East to Europe...all kinds of breakfasts. Not the china. In my opinion. Here is how I would translate it: for marketing purposes>..
o pequeno almoço é servido no loggia, junto à piscina, em louça de porcelana, sempre diferente, oriunda de diferentes países, da Europa ao oriente"
"A grand variety of styles of breakfast from different countries ranging from the Middle East to Europe is served on real china at the loggia near the pool."
I would not say delivered...it is served
also, we would say ''real china" to indicate very finely made porcelain dishes in this tourist context

The PT has too many \'different\'s,\'from\'s, and commas. In my opinion, texts like these need to be rewritten when put into another language. It doesn\'t quite work if you follow the original too closely.
