This was one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed! It was truly a magical location surrounded by enchanted gardens and forest! The architecture of the building was gorgeous. The staff were super helpful and friendly! All of the food was amazing. I would recommend this stay to everyone! It is a must!

Had a great stay at the hotel. A beautiful interior, excellent service, delicious food, and a wonderful setting.

Fresh and many choices

Entire place was awesome

Absolutely beautiful! Words cannot describe the opulence of this place. Rooms were clean, comfortable, but a bit dated (the blow dryer????) don’t pass up the opportunity to stay here. It’s a PALACE! Literally. The details in the decor, the grounds, the staff were amazing. Cannot say enough about this place. If you have the chance to stay, even for one night, DO IT! You won’t be disappointed.

Rooms need desperate updates. The property itself is beautiful if you are just visiting. However, if you are staying a night you will run into issue of clogged tub, way out dated dryer and heater that omits weird smell

The hotel and grounds are beautiful and furnishings were suited to the era of when it was built. The breakfast was excellent and included with our stay. There is only one option for dinner and it was pricey. There is no wi-fi in the room, only the area near the bar. The TV in the room only has Portuguese channels. It would have been nice to have music playing in the bar/lounge.

The hotel was amazing! The room was very clean, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was perfect. The balcony view and parking were great too. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back.

Les jardins et le parc sont merveilleux

This is a grand old (1800) palace built by a king as a hunting lodge in the middle of a lush forest. If you want to enjoy a grand magical stay with service that makes one feel like they stayed in a kings palace of long ago this is it! We absolutely loved it. Had dinner in the hotel,Excellant.

Fully loved our stay. Reasonably priced, superb breakfast, amazing grounds. Well done to the staff too!

Nice place

You are staying in a 19th century palace built for the king of portugal. It is old and in need of restoration but thats not the point. You are staying in time capsule museum. If that is your jam then you will dig it. For everyone else, there are plenty of Marriots.

Jose at check-in was amazing. He went above and beyond to ensure all our questions were answered. He gave us information on the historical significance of everything around the palace and helped us arrange transportation.

Wonderful customer service, beautiful place

I do not recommend dining at Mesa Real. The service was horrible. They were removing all ustensiles and glasses of all table around making lots of noise while we were still eating our main course. We decided to skip cheese plater and dessert. The light in this room is stronger than in a cafeteria. Takes away all the charm of our romantic dinner. The service was also poor at breakfast buffet because I had time to finish my breakfast before getting my first coffee.

One night dream stay in king's place. Super friendly staff. Nice breakfast a lot do around for nature lover. The road is narrow compared to north America, try to check in ealier. Avoid drive in dark

Beautiful location. rooms a bit outdated. But we had a great stay .

There is no doubt that this is a beautiful historic building. The architecture is remarkable and the position amazing . The interiors have been preserved from the early 20th century and are stunning. The staff were very good , knowledgeable , efficient and friendly. It’s supposed to be 5star but I don’t think it is , although the prices are. If you want to stay in a unique hotel for a special occasion give it a go. Personally I wouldn’t stay more than 1 night but if you want to explore the area around then a longer stay is recommended. The food was fine . The wine expensive and I’m not sure the hotel is as good as it thinks it is

Beautiful place to stay, friendly stuff, room was small and dark, didn't had a palace feel but building itself is beautiful. Very good breakfast. Lots of parking!
