Maria United Kingdom

The staff is amazing! Everyone was very helpful and extremely polite. The Hotel is very beautiful and is well taken care of. The surroundings, although not part of the Hotel itself, are incredible and well suited for lovers of nature and long walks.

Afonso Portugal

The amazing building with its tiles and statutes and the lication, Very pleasant staff,

Mark Portugal

O staff impecável, o hotel é fantástico. Recomendo.

Nuno Portugal

The hotel’s historic charm, grandeur and character more than make up for the lack of some modern amenities like a pool and air conditioning. Stay here to feel royal for while, and walk the many paths of the beautiful surrounding woods, dotted with ancient trees and various smaller buildings.

David Israel

Historical beautiful hotel with a taste. Felt like staying over nights in a museum.

breakfast was good our room was lovely and restaurant was very nice we enjoyed our evening dinner. our surprise bottle of champagne for our 50 wedding anniversary made the visit special

Stewart Portugal

An impressive place to stay at with a magnificient forest to discover that is only 3 minutes away by walk. And such a reasonable price for all the beautifulness we can get to see around. Food was great and the breakfast, which is free, was super delicious.
