Nuno, the Manager, was well versed in English, helpful, and knowledgeable about the area. He provided us good guidance to explore the hotspots in the area. I would not recommend driving through this area unless you are willing to accept a few surprises with the GPS and locating the various attractions, including your hotel! I would recommend walking within a 10 minute radius of this hotel to find and explore various restaurant choices for food. Don’t settle for the first one you see!There’s a beautiful 19th century castle within 15 minute driving range of this hotel. Highly recommend a visit quite a bit of interesting short hikes and springs and waterfalls around the palace. However, I wouldn’t recommend staying at the Palace hotel. Food there is pricey. And it is very secluded. Just get a couple of drinks or a sandwich at the palace hotel, which will allow me an opportunity to take some pictures of this architectural marvel! Highly recommend visiting the natural holy water, spring! Quite unique, and all of our travels are around the world!
Schönes Hotel, in einer alten voilla schön an einem Berg gelegen.
Zum Hochfahren sollte man gut motorisiert sein da die Straßen sehr steil sind.
Toller Pool im Garten.
Frühstück eher nicht so toll.
Speiseauswahl begrenzt.
Ansonsten sehr stylisch.

Sehr stilvolles und im klassischen Rahmen geführtes Hotel. Dennoch hatte unser Zimmer ein tolles, modernes Bad.
Geradezu eine Perle ist der in einem Garten gelegene Poolbereich mit ebenfalls sehr stilvoller Bar (tolle Preise: Caipirinha € 3,50!).
Und morgens die Aussicht von der grün überwachsenen Frühstücksterrasse auf den Ort hat etwas von einem klassischen Gemälde.
Phantastische Stimmung!
Hotel muito bom para descansar a mente. Muito bem localizado. Sem ruído de trânsito, que à noite é inexistente. Atmosfera cheia de charme e bom gosto. Bom pequeno
-almoço.
Un belle établissement qui mériterait un rafraîchissement général.
La chambre est meublée sommairement. La literie est à améliorer. Les lieux sont très propres.
La piscine est un petit coin de paradis à découvrir et profiter…
Quarto muito confortável, atendimento excelente, boa limpeza e um magnífico pequeno almoço

OK for the price
Bed was quite old and uncomfortable. Wifi didn't really work and heater made loud cracking noise all night. The place is old and charming, however i wouldn't stay here again
El trato del propietario y de los empleados.
Las escaleras, pero entiendo que es un edificio del XIX y se ha de respetar. Edificio precioso, bien conservado con mimo.
Hôtel ancien et avec tout son charme ! Patron et personnel attentionnés et avec un grand sens du service.
L’hôtel est calme, la piscine, son jardin et le petit bar charmants ! La cuisine du restaurant de l’hotel délicieuse !
Goed was de ruimte op de kamer en het geweldig balkon met uitzicht. Bed was iets te hard, hadden we iets voor kunnen vragen maar hoorden we pas achteraf.

chambre petite avec une salle de bains qui aurait besoin d'être refaite (odeur de canalisation)
Nous avons mal dormi, matelas trop dur.
Sinon, jolie maison de maître, accueil souriant, petit déjeuner simple mais correct.
