The castle is grand and quite beautifully preserved. Staff were uniformly helpful and courtesies. Highly recommended.”

“Amazing Location, very well designed hotel combining both historic castle and modern addition. Beautiful pool and quietly located in a very attractive peaceful surroundings of upper Alentejo. Close to interesting places like Marvão, Castelo de Vide and Portalegre. Particularly need to mention the staff: exceptionally, naturally and sincerely friendly and welcoming, very attentive. Very good food at the breakfast and at the hotel dinner restaurant. Really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back soon”

“All the staff were marvellous, from the Receptionist Ana to the nice chap in the pool bar, to the lovely lady who went to find the gin for my gnt and the great staff serving breakfast and dinner, all made us feel welcome and nothing too much trouble. The food and local Alentejo wine was wonderful”

“Interesting rural location on the edge of a small village. The hotel is squeezed into a medieval convent with the addition of modern rooms on the side. Great architecture. We stayed in the old part, recommended for old world ambience. Covid protocols very good.”
