Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
The location on top of a fortfied hill in the town was great. The garden and swimming pool surrounded by castle walls were lovely. The public rooms were very appealing. Breakfast and evening meals were well handled by the excellent staff during these difficult Covid times.
United KingdomWe liked the way the castle had incorporated the old with the new. Lovely location and staff were helpful
PortugalBeautiful palace / castle in a unique setting.
PortugalLocation amazing with superb views over the town & surrounding area. Breakfast was very good with lots of choice. Our standard room was quirky & spacious with a sitting area as well. The overall ambience of the Poussada is luxurious & comfy.
United KingdomLovely hotel, very comfortable bedding, very nicely appointed bathroom, very good breakfast. The Pousada was excellent.
United StatesEntering this pousada, you go back in time: historic house, antiques, beautiful staircase and hallways, gorgeous dining area & comfortable bar, lovely room (providing bathrobes and slippers)... very quiet area, easy parking. Extremely clean and well kept establishment. Nice, reserved but at the same time, very pleasant staff. Generous breakfast with lots of choice and in such a lovely setting! Restaurant offers a very good menu with helpful, attentive staff. All was really classy and pleasant!
CanadaFantastic staff. Well appointed rooms with separate bathroom, building filled with historic art and furniture.
AustraliaAstonishing place. We Will Come back with friends !
PortugalBeautiful castle, wonderfully restored and maintained. Great views. Wonderful breakfast. Definitely worth a visit.
PortugalWhere to start! We had tried to book a castle in Great Britain & Ireland and the prices were 2-3x what we paid here. The breakfast buffet was 2 tables long, the coffee was terrific, the history was wonderful and we went to the restaurant across the courtyard (Acadeia Quinhentista). We like to dine in between the local crowds and had the place to ourselves (which we like, you may not.) I tried the lamb on the server's tip and it was much better than what we had in the Algarve. If you want a once in a lifetime experience, give this castle a try. You can walk into the town Estremoz in 5 minutes. Its wonderful and a little gritty; but you feel immersed in the culture. Definitely not the mega-tour experience, but to our liking. Oh and Queen Isabella's chapel on the castle grounds is awesome. If you want to see this discuss with the front desk as the woman who opens it sometimes doesn't. 10-12 in mornings
