    A little worn/needing maintenance at places (as anticipated in an historical building). Breakfast was fine, but could include a bigger variety and more regional products (although the freshly squeezed orange juice was a lovely surprise).

    Traditional Alentejo decoration/being an historical building. Friendly, helpful staff. Very clean. Great location.

    Good location just outside the old part of town, with parking available at the hotel. Breakfast was great. We met the owner at breakfast and he is lovely. The rooms are very clean and comfortable.

    Wifi was not good, kept dropping out while in our room. It was a little better if we connected downstairs. The hot water in the room wasn’t very hot-only tepid.

    Very quaint and charming hotel. Location was good and staff very helpful and responsive. We appreciated being able to check in a little earlier and easy free car parking in open air hotel car park.

    We were told the pool was good and had been tested and could be used to bath although there was some winds in the days prior and it could be a bit dirty. Although we had this information we went just to check it but I am unsure if it really was usable to bath, was really very dirty. We ended up not using it.

    We had breakfeast and dinner at the hotel and both were amazing. The breakfeast had a good variety of things and was excelent, the bread from Alentejo truly is something! At dinner we tried the chicken in moscatel and it was beyond amazing! I totally recommend the chicken with moscatel! The lamb was also very good. The desserts were also amazing

    The view of the historic town from the room and balcony was wonderful, even with the busy road in front which did not disturb our sleep. The restaurant offers a great choice for dinner at very reasonable prices. The breakfast selection was extensive with unlimited freshly scrambled eggs set us up for the day until dinner time.

    Dog barking outside our room. Dog belongs to the hotel. It’s chained up, so not pleasant. And, very noisy in the morning. But poor dog.

    Breakfast lovely. Staff fantastic. Pool great.

    It was a bit of a walk to the old walled city but not too bad. The restaurant in the hotel wasn’t open on Monday.

    It was lovely to find so much history still maintained in the building and the staff were justly proud of this. We understand this was the first Pousada in Portugal but now now longer classified as one. Everyone couldn’t have been more helpful.

    The only reason I don't give them a 10 is because the walls are not soundproof and I could hear the guest in the next room snoring and the dog downstairs barking all night, so it was a bit difficult to fall asleep.

    The staff is very friendly and the space is very clean. The breakfast is awesome. There were not many people, so we got to chill a bit in the pool. Is also very central, so you can go anywhere walking

    The evening meal was disappointing in that it lacked a sauce or a bowl of salad with dressing.

    A hotel that is comfortable with it’s history and not trying to compete with the usual glass and marble opposition. A real family atmosphere.

    We asked a member of the cleaning staff to fill the shower gel in the shower but it did not happen. Fortunately, we had our own shower gel so not a major issue. We didn't call or speak to reception about this.

    The room was a good size, the bed was large and comfortable. The breakfast was lovely and set us up for the day. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and helpful.

    The room with double bed was noisy so we changed to a twin room. It was fine There was a shortage of staff and one night the restaurant had to close.

    A very nicely preserved hotel. The decor reflected the age of the hotel - in a good way!

    Breakfast was a bit slow to show up all options at starting time.

    You feel a real relaxed ambiance. Old Portugal updated. When you are coming from colder climates, you get a real feeling of the Mediterranean.
