Guest Review: The decor is fresh and contemporary. Views over the valley are lovely. The whole place is spotlessly clean and the staff are superb. We had a smooth check in and then a tour of the facilities including a free glass of wine when we were settled and ready. The bed is super comfy, best pillows we’ve had on our tour of Portugal!! The breakfast is fabulous, fresh and flavoursome produce. The spa is lovely and facial was fabulous, they even accommodated a late check out for us as the only availability for the treatment was 11.45. The relaxation space in the spa is beautiful with excellent views. Town is about a 20 min walk down hill and a €5 taxi ride back up ;) Thank you for a great stay.
Guest Review: I stayed in the 'Mezzanine Suite' and traveled with my family, my wife and our two children aged 1 and 2. I asked the front office manager at reception if it would be possible to check in earlier and, even though the hotel was almost fully booked, they were extremely kind and flexible, allowing us to check in early, which greatly contributed to the comfort of our trip. My thanks to the hotel staff for that.
Guest Review: The staff were very friendly. The room is nice and clean. The breakfast was amazing. They even have almond milk! And they warm up the milk too. Part of the castle wall is kept on the second floor which was pretty cool to see.
