Grand old palace treated like you are a royal gues
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.

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.

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 property grounds are beautiful. The room was nice, had views of the garden. The breakfast was fantastic, everything you could possibly want. The hotel is older and showed its age and could use a bit more upkeep (i.e wallpaper that was starting to peel). The room was clean and bathroom was lovely.

Magnificent hotel-palace surrounded by lush gardens. It was a real treat to stay there. Impeccable helpful staff. We stayed in a simple double room with a garden view, but the hotel itself and the grounds were magical. Hope not the last time. Definitely will return
