The location of this hotel is fantastic, right at the top of the hill in Estromoz with fantastic views all around. Our room (superior double), had views overlooking the town and was very spacious and comfortable and there is a lift (which is unusual in these very old hotels in this area). This was a palace so it does still have a certain air of some formality about it, but it is amazing and considering how old it is, has been made very comfortable. You can walk to the top of the hotel tower which has a 360 degree panoramic view of the surrounding landscape and is just amazing. The staff were very helpful and friendly and we did have dinner in the hotel, which was exceptional and the staff very attentive. There is so much to offer in this hotel and it is well worth staying there. The breakfast was fantastic, offering so much choice and again the dining room - very palatial as is everywhere in this hotel. There is plenty of parking space outside and a lovely swimming pool and terrace to sit and enjoy your Alentejo wines. I would definitely recommend staying here.

We didn’t like how fast our stay went by as we were very happy.

We liked how well kept and maintained and clean the whole property was. Loved the views from our room, the tower and the dining room and bar. Our bed and lines were very comfortable! Enjoyed the pool and patio and grounds.

the room itself could have been better, as well as the things provided. it did not meet expectations for a 5 star experience in our opinion. there were things missing: - a full length mirror - bathrobes - a table to keep the suitcase are things one takes for granted, but wasnt provided. And the bathroom was small, with the shower hard to get into. Bidet was extremely cramped, and honestly, would have been better if it were not there.

breakfast was very good with multiple options. the history of the hotel, and the overall aesthetic was really cool.

Took so long to serve a class of wine in the Bar that at the end left and had a class elsewhere. When arriving to breakfast there was no staff the first 10 min but all was served and ready. Was just slighly confusin that would be able to start unless someone arrives. However all the staff that i met were friendly.

Location, history and the overall . Front desk reception so Welcoming and friendly. Felt very Welcomed, helped with parking and Well organized men. Good breakfast.

We booked our room on the basis of it being either a twin or a double. We would have preferred a double but ended up with a twin. Hotel staff explained that the hotel only has ten double rooms and had we expressed an interest for one in the comments section of our booking, they would have done their best meet our needs. In the end, it didn’t cause us a problem. Our room was traditionally furnished which we liked, but the bathroom would have benefitted by being much more modern. This would have enhanced our stay. As it was, the bathroom was totally adequate but rather dark and resembled a room form the 70s or 80s.

This hotel is in an old quite spectacular castle, so many inside facilities are traditional rather than modern which we were totally happy with. The location is on a hill, a five minute fairly steep walk into town. The public areas and restaurant are grand and have wonderful views of countryside and the private garden. There is a good pool and surrounding area. The breakfast was very good and plentiful. Our room was large and comfortable within the context of being traditionally furnished. Staff were friendly and efficient. There is also abundant free and safe parking on the square outside the hotel, but be careful not to become blocked in on a Sunday during the nearby church services.

We loved the building and location - such a treat to be staying in a castle! The tiles and decor make it feel really grand. The bar and restaurant are also lovely and staff were great. The garden and pool area looked inviting, too.

After visiting this hotel twice, I feel that the facilities and services are sub-par for a 5 star hotel. This applies to the lobby service/variety, outdoor pool service and hours, and more.

One of a kind historical hotel at the heart of Estremoz and an excellent breakfast. The experience is unique

We loved the history of the building and its beautiful furniture, the stylish and comfortable rooms and the friendliness of the staff. Professional and polite. We especially appreciated the ability to check in early.
