Das Hotel ist eine bewohnte Antiquitätensammlung- Geschmacksache. Aber 5 Sterne und WLAN nur in der Lobby ? Der eigentliche Grund hier zu wohnen, sind das erstklassige Restaurant und seine unglaublich guten Weine!

The property grounds are beautiful. The room was nice, had views of the garden. The breakfast was fantastic, everything you could possibly want. The hotel is older and showed its age and could use a bit more upkeep (i.e wallpaper that was starting to peel). The room was clean and bathroom was lovely.

マヌエル様式の装飾がたいへん美しい宮殿です アズレージョやフレスコ画に彫刻とまるで美術館のような、時を忘れてしまいそうな空間。 庭の手入れも行き届いていて、館の周りは森に囲まれており、国立公園内のCruz Altaと呼ばれる展望台からはブサコの森とコインブラまで見晴らすことのできる素晴らしいホテルでした。

Magnificent hotel-palace surrounded by lush gardens. It was a real treat to stay there. Impeccable helpful staff. We stayed in a simple double room with a garden view, but the hotel itself and the grounds were magical. Hope not the last time. Definitely will return
