“Great Breakfast with a great view. Cool Pool. Beautiful Palace and Gardens.”
“Hotel very close to hiking trails. Enjoyed great traditional meal in the back of Churrascaria Borges restaurant. Get the goat!”
“It's a beautiful building with lovely gardens to walk in. Good swimming pool. It's a pleasure and joy to walk through the beautiful rooms. Best of all the friendly and helpful staff. Dinner which we enjoyed on three nights was great. Fantastic wines and Port. Love the place.”
“This hotel is a gem! An incredible fine, a real former palace in a small town. Gardens and pool are lovely. Dinner in the ornate dining room was a real treat. Limited menu but all with fresh and quality ingredients. We stayed here to do a day hike through a number of schist villages. Arranged through the hotel with a local company--I believe company was called Paradigm. Our hiking guide's grandparents still lived in one of the villages. A real magical day. Lousa and the Palacio are not to be missed. Staff were extraordinary.”
“Had a wonderful hike with a guide arranged by the hotel in the surrounding mountains. Very knowledgeable and very reasonable!”
“Despite being in town it was very quiet and peaceful. Well situated for walking/cycling. Helpful and polite staff. ”
“Very nice place with a nice swimmingpool. Located in the old town.”
“The entrance, the area where the library was nice and resto.”
“Beautifully renovated 18-century castle with all the modern amenities you'll want. The restaurant had a variety of local dishes beyond the tourist staples and a solid wine list. The staff were accommodating with my early departure time and let me into the breakfast room an hour before the official opening time.”
“Staff very friendly and helpful. Lovely old manor building. Food in restaurant outstanding.”
