A truly enjoyable experience. Great staff, breakfast, suites and overall hotel are a historic piece of heaven! You won't want to leave. There is enough to relax, explore and enjoy in the castle grounds/hotel. I worked while the family checked everything out. It was unforgettable!

This hotel was incredible. Great property to walk around but what really made it stand out was the staff. The host that greeted us (Ana Maia) was incredible. Went way above and beyond to help us print boarding passes. She was so friendly, helpful and did everything she could to make sure our stay was felt special.

Beautiful historic hotel

We had a very pleasant stay at this Pousada. The room was well appointed and the bed was the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on. The breakfast was also superb. The staff were all extremely helpful and knowledgeable. You can also walk around the ruins and fortifications next to the hotel. It is a very beautiful setting. The only very minor negative was the shower fitting in the bathroom that is supposed to hold the shower head. It was very loose meaning when you showered you had to hold the shower head in your hand rather than leave it in the wall holder otherwise the water pressure would cause it to wobble around which sprayed water all around the bathroom rather than onto the person showering.

It’s a real treat staying here. What a fun place to stay, a hotel that is part of a 15th C castle. The facilities are great. The tavern on the property had excellent food. The rooms are spacious and very nice.

Great service from this friendly hotel team

Warm and efficient welcome by Joao. Was offered help with bags. Hotels.com reward in room. Clean, tidy and comfortable room. Service at dinner equally excellent as was the food and wine. Breakfast comprehensive and attentive service. Worth the stay. Many thanks to the cleaning staff, they did a great job.
