Quiet location in central Portugal
Wonderful, quiet location away from the regular tourist track. Awesome property with big rooms, great pool, and really wonderful "surprise dinners" made by their chef. The meals here were probably some of the best meals we had in Portugal during our two week trip. The drink and wine selection was also superb! Location was in a small village with no services - but it was short drive to bigger village with everything anyone might need; and close to hiking trails in the forest, waterfalls, and the Schist villages of the region.

Gorgeous hotel with impeccable service
We were overwhelmed by this lovely hotel. It was a bit tricky for us to find as our GPS didn't have it located in its system; however, once found we didn't want to leave. This hotel was completely renovated to the highest quality. The grounds are beautiful and the views are stunning. Our room was amazing and every comfort was provided. We arrived a bit late; however, the owner (Jack) was kind enough to call in his chef who prepared an incredible meal for us. We were overwhelmed by this level of service. We were really treated like royalty. The next morning we had a lovely breakfast where everything was fresh and delicious. If you have the opportunity to venture into the countryside near Coimbre, I definitely recommend staying at this magical hotel.

Helt fantastisk lille perle. Vores ophold blev forlænget to dage, pga. af møder. Værten var utrolig hjælpsom. Komfort bedømmes ikke i top - jalousidøre fra soverum til toilet/badeværelse er ikke lige min stil, men kompenseres rigeligt af alt det andet stedet byder på

Bom gosto excepcional, lindo lugar para casais.
A Quinta da Palmeira é o lugar perfeito para um fim de semana à dois. Optamos pela Suíte Junior Premium, super espaçosa,com banheira e vista para a serra. O hotel é super bem decorado, tem roupas de cama e banho de muito boa qualidade. Possui uma piscina que deve ser ótima no verão, mas lá estivemos em um fim de semana já fresquinho. O restaurante do hotel oferece menus-degustação (Não experimentamos mas deve ser bom!), spa (Em tempos de Covid19 não foi possível experimentar) e tem pontos de carregamento para carros eléctricos. Estacionamento dentro da propriedade e muitas opções de passeios pela região . Na pequena cidade de Coja, a menos de 15 minutos, há boas opções de restaurantes. O café da manhã é farto e bem servido. Queremos voltar!

Une prestation exceptionnelle !
Niché dans les collines de la province d'Arganil, cet établissement entouré d'orangers et d'oliviers, est digne de ses 5 étoiles : des chambres magnifiques et très spacieuses, décorées avec raffinement (toutes différentes paraît-il), et d'une propreté immaculée. La cuisine, sobre et raffinée, du petit déjeuner au dîner (les croissants maison du petit déjeuner, servis encore chauds, méritent à eux seuls le détour !). L'accueil est chaleureux, et le service irréprochable. Une adresse à recommander très vivement. Un seul conseil : le GPS, indispensable pour se repérer dans les routes et les petits villages de montagne.
