Room was.spacious, well appointed, and had a fabulous view. Very sleek contemporary lines and immaculate. Huge comfy bed - big well appointed bath. It was about 200 steps from our room to the elevator - didn't want to forget anything and have to turn back! Breakfast choices were outstanding.

Jacka, United States of America

Very nice setting, hotel forms part of old palace, and is right in the centre of a scenic old village

Andre, Luxembourg

Staff at the reception extremely helpful and friendly! We stayed at the suite, which was great and super comfortable with a great view! The food at the restaurant was good and the breakfast was amazing ! The property is beautiful and it’s great to walk around in the gardens !

Diana, Netherlands

Such a well presented palácio, had us in awe of the views and the rich history. The resturant menu also had a nice touch, explaining the story of traditional dishes and the palácio. The staff were also very informative and great in conversation in Portuguese and English. The adjoining architecture of the accommodation is very clever and well thoughtout.

Madeline, Australia

Magnificent location and setting in an old palace. A true hidden gem! Especially the staff was extremely helpful and polite!

Pool bar service would of been nice, food could be better in the hotel restaurant, chestnut soup was cold and tasteless, rack of lamb was good, but overall very average compared to the majority of reataurants in Portugal.
The palace was beautiful and the gardens, rooms modern with private balcony. breakfast was excellent too, cake & Champagne!

Nobody on the staff smiles😱. Lots of staff on duty at dinner but efficiency is lacking and service is painfully slow. About 50 minutes to get our main course (we just had the main course). Reception know their job but where is the WELCOME?

Check in staff were fast, efficient & friendly but overall they could up their game and provide a poolside drinks / snacks service but overall a very good stay.
I loved staying here, the 19th century palace and gardens are beautiful and the modern bedroom / pool-spa wing stunning. Each room has a private balcony and comfortable beds

Facilities were excellent - but there is just something about the Pestana culture that seems to prevent them from being warm and friendly. Everyone was professional, but not very welcoming.

“A memorable curate's egg”
- • Leisure trip

The spa was a disappointment. We were told that the sauna was under maintenance when we checked in, and would be the next day too. But there was never anyone fixing it. The steam in the steam room had to be switched on manually by staff at the request of guests, and only stayed on for 20 minutes. Those two things combined gave the place an air of penny-pinching, which was at odds with the 'five star' vibe (and price!). The outdoor pool looked lovely, but was completely unheated and therefore freezing. The only properly usable part of the spa was the small indoor pool, which was heated and nice, although not big enough to swim in. Another disappointment was the beds. Again, a whiff of penny pinching, because there was no mattress topper, so you could feel the ridges on the very hard mattress through the sheets.
It was certainly an experience staying in a crumbling palace, in a small village, and the gardens are magical. The room was modern and clean, with a nice private patio. Breakfast was good - a lot of choice.

The spa is awful not maintained. Sauna was broken, tiny steam room that needed to be switched on by reception and went off after twenty minutes. The tiny indoor pool wall tiles were dirty. Dinner in the so called Restaurant was mediocre and expensive. The cheap tacki furniture is out of keeping in such a grand building.
The historic building and gardens are beautiful. They are open to the public to see. I recommend a visit, but not a stay in the hotel.
