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!

Excellent location.

Great location.

Easy to find and check-in.

Loved this little gem of a hotel. Very historic, yet comfortable. Staff was friendly and atmosphere was very relaxed. Highly recommend

It was o.k. The hotel is old and very simple. It gives you a filling that you are in a house of someone . It is near all the atractions.

Loved the old world feel of hotel. Staff super nice and breakfast was great!

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

It is an old hotel with a lot of charm. The rooms could use a facelift.

Off season, so very quiet. Limited eating alternatives

Nice hotel very quiet area few nice bars

Lovely setting. Great area for walks. Not far from Coimbra (30 mins by car). Very hospitable staff.

Like stepping back in time! The hotel is a living museum to the history of the building and the surrounding area. Really enjoyed staying in a hotel that is so rich in character and ambience.

A family run old world hotel with charm, taste and decorum. Lovely ambiance for those who appreciate something different from modern mass market hotels. Intelligent english speaking hosts

If you're looking for luxury, you won't find it here. This is an old hotel with its own unique character. The beds are hard and the hotel could do with some upgrading, but otherwise it's reasonably comfortable. Towels in the bathroom were paper thin. I found the person at reception somewhat abrupt when we checked in, but the staff in the dining room were very pleasant and accommodating. The grounds are lovely with a nice quiet pool area to relax in.

Overall had a nice hotel stay, great for some fresh air and peace and quiet. Very clean. Free parking. No AC or fan though it was cool enough. Beautiful view of the town. Did not find the bed/pillows very comfortable.

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful centrally located hotel with charm. The staff couldn't speak much English but did their best to communicate with us. So nice to be able to walk to shops and restaurants.

Lovely big pinkish red building overlooking very pretty small resort town, friendly staff, nice rooms, excellent modern bathrooms with a fantastic shower/bath, comfortable, quiet. Lovely local walks in forest. Flowers everywhere. Quiet town famous for its spring waters. Good local restaurant.

Wonderful retreat - Wifi was limited and everything else was perfect. Very friendly staff and great ambiance.

The room I had was absolutely beautiful and comfortable.
