The palace is really beautiful and we enjoyed so much staying surrounded by history. Walking in the gardens and in the park has been peaceful and relaxing. Very good dinner and breakfast

The staff and the service do not seem at the expected level for a so luxurious hotel: the check in has been very low as the staff at the reception was not able to find promptly our reservation (despite it was done months in advance and confirmed also by themselves in the check in date with a welcome inbox message), sometimes was not easy to communicate in English with the bar staff. The swimming pool is a great plus but it wasn’t really clean unfortunately, and the pool bar is closed, and no bar service at the pool is provided (you have to go to the main bar to order and bring drinks by yourself with the result that they could heat during the walking back to the pool, unless you don’t ask for an ice bucket which is not very comfortable to take).

This is a stunning house which has been really tastefully converted into a fantastic hotel. It’s comfortable, interesting, inviting and relaxing, all at once. The experience is very like staying in your own (very grand) country house, with beautiful grounds and a wealth of history to explore, complete with attentive staff (especially the wonderful Diogo, who looked after us fantastically), and a brilliant chef. The food was excellent and the wines (produced on the estate) were delicious. We recommend!

Nothing to dislike.

We loved everything about this place. It's a historic building, lots of charm, but still the rooms are very clean and modern. There's a museum on site and beautiful gardens. The restaurant was also SO good! The service was impeccable and the food fantastic. If you stay for dinner you have to try the cheese and jams they make on site. The 2017 red we ordered was also one of the best wines I've ever had.

It's a really beautiful hotel converted from a 17th century manor house. The gardens are wonderful and the restaurant was very good.

It's really only a stop over between Lisbon and the Douro Valley, which is fine, but not a lot of other things to see in the area.

Great location, immersed in the countryside. Besides the hotel in a lovely historic building, there is also a fantastic museum about the family that owned the property.

There is nothing that I would change about the hotel. I believe it will be a surplus if the recovery of lakes and property trails keep being done.

Beautiful buildings and the facilities alll worked exceptionally well for such an old building.

Nothing really, some of the staff were top class and one or two a little less friendly but still 4.5 star so not much to improve to be exceptional.

Fabulous historical hotel , comfortable clean rooms, staff friendly, good parking.

Not enough staff ! Very difficult to get any bar service, nobody about !! Nowhere to relax ie comfortable lounge area, disappointing restaurant position did not take advantage of views over garden. Garden needing a lot of work, opportunity missed, could have been beautiful. Cheese making area and museum ?? Don’t bother. Pool area very scruffy.

The hotel was beautiful and full of history! Beautiful gardens, an excellent terrace. The swimming pools are in a confortable green area surrounded by huge old trees. Each small detail brings history to you. The chapel is breathtaking!

The house was very beautiful, and the restaurant was delicious.

O did not like the fact that we are in Portugal and all information is written in Spanish. I was told they use the same stationary as the hotels in Spain , but if you are in Portugal I shouldn’t be reading information in Spanish.

Everything we experienced was amazing! From the peace and serenity and the beauty of the surrounding gardens and areas. Vineyards were a great experience. Our 2 bedroom apartment was extremely comfortable, expensive furnishings, basic and very suitable. Food in the restaurant was reasonable with a great limited choice and high level tasty dishes. I would highly recommend staying here for a few days to experience the Hotel and grounds, and local vineyards. Staff were very accommodating and helped us for all our needs. Thank you

Liked everything. An electric kettle in the apartment would have been great but got by without one
