Older hotel with its charm but , lots of cracks on the walls in the room and bathroom, they could use some aromas to be rid of stale scent in the hallways The younger staff in front weee fantastic Breakfast was great The nature and hike grounds are spectacular No air conditioning - be ware if going in summer , you will rely on cooler air from outside which means you have to leave your walk in windows open - as we did all night

Stunning Palace.
This hotel is stunning both inside and out. First experience of staying at a Pousada and hope its not the last. The rooms are simple and clean, but its all about where you are staying. Fabulous architecture and historic features, beautiful and peaceful gardens and scenery in general. The staff are amazing as are the restaurant and bar. Probably the best weekend stay I've ever had.

Fabulous stay and luxury experience for an affordable cost. Enjoyed dining at the hotel for dinner and breakfast In Luxe surroundings. Breakfast can be on the outdoor terrace overlooking the garden. Hiked to the top and enjoyed the stations of the cross and other chapels that adorned our “way” dating back to the 1600s. Beautiful nature. Tranquility at its finest. Highly recommend. Staff was very nice too.

Very old…….. No internet at all. No A/C. Windows are open by itself and All doors are knocking from drafts throughout the night.After all they turned off the water before 11 am . No toilet no shower no wash basin. Property is bountiful! Breast is perfect! The service staff was excellent. We had a GOOD time. But experience ……. The next time We'll choose another place.

Un magnifique château à bas prix
Merveilleux site et hôtel à couper le souffle. Grande chambre avec une superbe salle de bain. Déjeuner somptueux et bon dîner au restaurant de l'hôtel. Possible de prendre le lunch au resto à côté de l'hôtel sur le site. Accès au site et à la forêt. Les chambres ne sont pas équipé d'air climatisé. Le site est enchanteur.
