Julien, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

マヌエル様式の装飾がたいへん美しい宮殿です アズレージョやフレスコ画に彫刻とまるで美術館のような、時を忘れてしまいそうな空間。 庭の手入れも行き届いていて、館の周りは森に囲まれており、国立公園内のCruz Altaと呼ばれる展望台からはブサコの森とコインブラまで見晴らすことのできる素晴らしいホテルでした。

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
Beautiful landscape around the castle

Castelo dos contos de fadas!!

Local incrível, além de toda a natureza, o castelo ainda há uma história sensacional sobre o castelo e a guerra do Bussaco onde o Duque de Wellington mostrou todas suas habilidades em defesa contra o exército napoleônico!
PAULO CM, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

A unique setting

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
