    The way the marriage of the old and new building was made in such a historical location without penalising or compromising each other.

    I loved the people working there. Everyone was so kind. On our last day, they saw us enjoying the sun before our check-out and told us that we could stay a little longer if we wanted to and not to worry about checkout. Awesome! We had zero problems while staying there.

    What a wonderful gem of a hotel! We loved the modern renovation of an ancient building, the delightful indoor and outdoor public spaces and the marble sculptures thand art work on display. Added bonus of complementary tea and cake throughout the day! Breakfast was at least the standard of a good 4-star hotel.

    The bed was too hard. I liked the modern design, but the room could have used a rug and more soft furnishings.

    Very convenient location in a quaint town, close to sights and restaurants. Nice breakfast. Lovely artwork exposed.

    Only thing that I can think of is extra pillows. However, I didn't ask for them either.

    The proprietor paid a lot of attention to details. There was so much to see and discover at this hotel. Every nook had an item of interest. Loved the vintage space, the kids space, the games/library room, the tea room.....so much. The pool area (though we didn't use) looked great and was used by other clients. There were restaurants available and Vila Viscosa was a surprising little town (enjoyed a free piano concert one evening at the palace!) The staff were attentive and helpful. The towels in the bathroom were large and ample.....wonderfully luxurious!!!!!! Inclusive breakfast, ample and lots to choose from with fruit available!!! Overall excellent!!!!

    The rooms have balconies that oversee the internal courtyard which is quite pleasant. My room was huge. The hotel has little nooks and crannies which are delightful. They also leave a 24h self-service area where you can make your own tea from a varied selection of teas, it was very comforting. Breakfast also was a pleasant surprise it had a wide range of offerings.
