Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated in the magnificent Buçaco forest in a late 19th-early 20th-century palace at a reasonable price that includes a wonderful breakfast, featuring an incredible interior. While the location is flawless and gorgeous, offering nature walks and day-trips to neighboring places, the rooms are shabby, outdated, and lacking air-conditioning. The dining experience is delightful with Mediterranean dishes, and the service, while polite, had some instances of attitude and errors in the restaurant.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the room I initially received lacked atmosphere, the wonderful views from the corner room redeemed the stay. The senior staff came off as very stuffy and formal, but after a complaint, I was promptly moved to another room, which was more to my liking.
The hotel offers a nice room with a great view but with some maintenance issues. The service is warm and welcoming, reflecting Portuguese hospitality. Located in a historic palace amidst beautiful grounds, it needs some updating. The dining experience was average. Overall, a charming stay with room for improvement.
The hotel is nestled in a beautiful forest setting, offering a unique experience with its historical charm. The rooms are simple and a bit old-fashioned, needing some updates, but the double beds provide a comfortable stay. While the lock issue was a downside, the friendly and knowledgeable front desk staff enhanced the overall service.
The hotel is nestled within a national forest, offering a unique and beautiful setting for relaxation and hiking. The rooms are a bit dated and lack proper airflow, but the location and dining experience are exceptional. The service is generally professional, with some minor issues during check-in.
The hotel is nestled in a truly magical location, right in the heart of the park, offering stunning views and beautiful gardens. The rooms, while spacious and clean, show signs of wear and tear. The service is impeccable with dedicated staff, though there were some issues with the meal service. The dining options were average and a bit overpriced, but the overall experience was pleasant.
The palace hotel is located in a stunning park with beautiful surroundings, offering a unique and joyful experience. While the rooms would benefit from some updates and come at a higher cost, the ambiance inside is charming. However, some dustiness in the air can be off-putting for sensitive guests.
The hotel is set in a stunning palace surrounded by gorgeous gardens where you can explore for hours. The rooms, although needing better maintenance, are super hot in the daytime and attract some mosquitoes, providing a less-than-ideal experience. The service was at the right level of attentiveness but sometimes came off as too full of self-importance.
The hotel's rooms need updating and the WiFi is only accessible near the entry door. The dinner was expensive with limited options, and the bed was small. On the bright side, the service was friendly and knowledgeable, especially at the front desk. The location is fabulous, surrounded by gardens and forests but requires driving to other food places. The dining experience was a mix with an excellent buffet but also overpriced options. The facilities are limited, and the overall service level fluctuates.
The hotel has some old-world charm despite the tired look of the rooms. The service was a mix of courteous and somewhat lazy with ignored patrons. The location is surrounded by beautiful gardens, but not so convenient. The dining experience was exceptional with a great selection. The facilities were adequate.
