it’s a historical building, really well maintained and a really good vibe.

Moreira United Kingdom

Excellent location in an historic castle. The staff is very nice and helpful (like everywhere in Portugal so far in our trip) Breakfast is superb and the premise is fantastic. One more memorable stay in Portugal!

Christian United States

Excellent breakfasts with large selection. Excellent dinners too with refined and formal service. We liked the location for exploring the surrounding countryside. Beautiful sunset views. Lovely courtyard, gardens and pool (although too cool when we were there in September to swim).

Ralph Canada

The historic setting, grand decor and wonderfully helpful and welcoming staff. great breakfast too.

Simon United Kingdom

It was an opportunity to stay in an historic castle within walled city. Our room had high ceilings, a big bed, a great view... all worthy of royalty. Eating in the grand hall was a bonus; breakfast buffet was great and the chef for dinner was fabulous.

Connie Canada

It was my Birthday and the staff went beyond expectation to make our stay very com fortable Our room was fantastic food and service excellent and my cake was a lovely surprise...Thank you. Xxxx

Camelia United Kingdom

Historic castle but also amazingly comfortable. Wonderful views. Staff so helpful in trying to find out about a winery we wanted to visit. The best breakfast on our tour by far - we certainly didn't need lunch. The little cakes (orange and pasteis de nata were incredible). Absolutely no negatives at all. Easy walk into town. Dinner, whilst a bit formal, was delicious. Great place to stay and wouldn't hesitate about returning if we visited Estremoz again. Easy to park outside the hotel.
