Amazing experience in memorable hotel
We really enjoyed our stay at the Pousada Castelo Estremoz. It's in the old town of Estremoz on a hilltop: you drive through an arch and over a drawbridge, up cobbled streets to a square where there's free parking. The hotel certainly has a wow factor: it's like stopping in a museum with many historical items and paintings set in grand rooms. Our room was actually quite small and the bathroom tight but had everything you needed although getting things like extra drinking water was not so easy. We ate in the restaurant - nice food and certainly grand if not a little formal for us. Breakfast was quite simply amazing - so much choice and all really good quality. l loved our stay - the odd quirks of staying in a historic building are massively outweighed by the amazing experience and I would highly recommend the hotel.

Our two nights here during a two week road trip around Portugal went by far too fast. One of the coolest places we have ever stayed in. The drive up to the castle and over the draw bridge was unreal (with plenty of space to park near the entrance of the Pousada) and being able to climb up the old worn marble steps to the top of the castle and peer down onto the town below through the crenels was other worldly. From the staff’s kindness, to the views from our room, to the reprieve from the Alentejo heat in the pool, and the beautiful antiques lining the halls, we gladly stepped back in time here. Providing the best of all breakfast buffets we had along our trip, we were overwhelmed with fresh, local breads, meats and cheeses among a host of traditional hot foods and sweets. And having dinner in the enormous dining room with only two other couples made us feel like royalty, although we felt unworthy of such attentiveness the staff provided, along with an amazing, traditional Alentejo dinner. A grand sense of solitude was underscored by the cool dense fog that rolled in both mornings when the local roosters would sound off. This was our home base for a day trip to Évora and a full day of exploring the town of Estremoz (check out the Azulejos museum!!) and we only wished for more time in this rural gem, packed with so much history.

What a wonderful experience. The setting is magnificent. There is beautiful furniture and art everywhere. The service was excellent, the rooms very modern and clean and the dining was first class. I had mentioned on my dinner reservation that it was my husband’s birthday and the waitress brought us a complimentary glass of bubbly and wished him happy birthday - very nice touch! Would highly recommend.

Stayed two nights and we were royally treated to a huge suite with a living room. The staff went out of their way to book restaurants and tours for us. We were made to feel very welcome. Parking was close, and free, outside the front door. The castle is filled with incredible furniture and antique paintings even in our bedroom. It has been well refurbished into a unique hotel with the feeling that you’ve stepped back into the 17th century. We walked up the stairs to the top of the tower, and had amazing views of all of Estremoz. The breakfast was the best we had throughout Portugal with an amazing variety and endless food. We also had dinner there which was superb. Great value all around. Do not not miss this rare experience!

An absolutely beautiful and authentic place. The best Pousada in Portugal, I believe. Great breakfast and bar area, but sad that the restaurant is closed during dining hours. Also, hard to climb the hill on foot from Estremoz if you didn't come by car. Only problems with the room itself were the hard bed and one of the shower attachments didn't work well. But the incredible historical beauty of the place tends to overshadow the problems.
