Great hotel and accommodations! Unfortunately we were let down by the restaurant where we had subpar service and food for the price. It’s no match for the rest of this otherwise great establishment. Would recommend as long as you skip the restaurant!

The staff went out of their way to make our stay amazing - our only regret was that we couldn’t stay another night! The restaurant served some of the best food we have ever eaten. The steak that my wife got was SO good that she asked to speak to the chef, just to tell him it was the best steak she had EVER had in her life! We NEVER do that!

We enjoyed our stay, the staff was attentive, rooms large and clean and breakfast was a lavish spread. Highly recommend as an unusual and lovel stop. It is a 30-40 minute drive to Coimbra but the attraction for us was the nearly Shist Villages.

It was a wonderful hotel and location was great. Service exceptional. The only recommendation is that they diversify their lunch and dinner menu to include some Italian pasta dishes and other common type meals.

I cannot say enough about our stay. Everyone was wonderful. The mgr even offered and had someone fix our luggage wheel. The decor, rooms, grounds are exceptional. The breakfast which was included was fresh and offered many selections all to be enjoyed with amazing views. This was supposed to be our “overnight” stop on our way back to Porto but ended up being one of our highlights. From the hotel we drove to Coimbra snd as well enjoyed the local castle and hike.

Very unique historical palace dating back to 18th century with a newer modern wing with rooms that are clean and comfortable with updated amenities. Staff was very accommodating and offered to take our luggage to our room since it was a bit confusing at first to find. Breakfast and dinner were in the older part of the building in an elegant room. Chef provided a unique and delicious menu for each evening. Well worth going out of your way to experience.

We stayed in room 23 which was a superior double. The bed was lovely and big. The room overall was excellent. The restaurant food was lovely but had a limited choice. The breakfast buffet was lovely but the food was mainly in one corner which made it difficult to get to and everything was uncovered.
