We were the only guests in the hotel because it's really not in season, but you would think there were rooms and rooms of guests because the breakfast was beyond wonderful! Rubin, the Receptionist, was so helpful and charming and gave us wonderful advice. A gorgeous place - magical and other-worldly.

Wonderful location with stunning views. Friendly welcoming staff . We enjoyed a drink in a lounge area furnished with antiques with views over the town. The impressive dining room was memorable and we had an excellent dinner of local produce. The room is beautifully furnished in a style befitting the era of the castelo. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Cold bacon , cold scrambled egg at breakfast. Had two glasses of wine in very small glasses and toast, wine was not good and toast was cold, hard and dry. €14.80. Window was covered in small black flies..... No atmosphere at all...it was like a museum.. Staff were very sombre except young girl in dining room.. Stayed in other Pousadas in Portugal , so good.
Coffee and pastel de natas.

Dinner, we chose a dish from the FIAP Menu, but the main course was not well cooked. We must say, that it was quite late. All the remaining dishes during the dinner were very good.
Breakfast was very good and generous. The employees were extremely friendly and even gave my wife the recipe of a cake.

Nothing. The only slight difficulty is finding the place if you don't follow the signage from the bottom of the hill. We followed the GPS instructions and got totally lost!
