The bedroom was big, comfortable, it had a nice view and was clean. The staff at the reception were excellent! Breakfast choice was very good.

Breakfast was well above average for hotels in Portugal. The location and aspect was one of the best features. I am sorry we could not stay longer. Given the quality, I though the value was quite good.

The originality of the two older buildings. There was a good choice of breakfast. The location was peaceful, and there were a couple of restaurants nearby for dinner. The room was furnished beautifully and really clean.

Phil United Kingdom

The grounds of the hotel were nice and the village, although remote was beautiful and quaint. The room had direct access to the garden and was spotless.

The location in the center of a charming old village with great views on the surrounding mountains and the plain below. The architecture of the building ( an old mansion). Clean and comfortable rooms with A/C. Swimming pool and tennis court on the premises.

Joachim Portugal

The location is great, the rooms were comfortable and large in size.

This rural hotel looks like it has recently been totally renovated, so it adds an old palace charm to high standard modern amenities, like a design passage way between the main building/reception area and the building where the rooms are. The gardens are beautiful and very well kept - there is a rose garden, a hortensia's garden, a wall-garden and the gardens around the open air swimming pool. There is also a tennis court by the swimming pool, all very nicely done. The situation is very peaceful and quiet, overlooking the mountains and farms. The rooms are very spacious and some of them have a nice terrace with access to the gardens. The breakfast was really good, all with freshly made products from the region - cheese, ham, marmelade - and home made bread. We stayed happily for two nights and could have stayed longer to unwind! Bonus: the Mondego river walkways are a half hour drive away, a nice walking trail of 16kms.

The staff are delightful and the location is stunning

The building (and the personnel) were very welcoming. You have to drive for a couple miles from the main road to reach it (the way is properly indicated) and once in the village the hotel stands out before you. Parking is free but outside. Breakfast OK for a three star hotel, better than many in that category, and we were serviced with a smile (the lady even managed to fry me an egg which was not an option). Price more than fair. The small village is very well restored and maintained and quite picturesque. There is an excellent restaurant nearby (5 minute walk) called Cova do Lobo.

Incredible colonial hotel in a beautiful medieval mountain village. Extremely comfortable, super clean, excellent buffet breakfast with coffee including cappuccino. Our 4th floor room offered stupendous views of the valley. Lots of pillows & hot water.
