Traveller reviews
Ian “Adequate & Comfortable”
05 May 2025
Firstly, this hotel is no longer owned by the Pousada (Portuguese Government) and is now operated by a private company. I am told the same staff remain under the new ownership. We stayed two nights at this hotel. First impressions are the interior is a little dated in places. That said, it did have the best [powerful] showers of or 10 night stay in Northern Portugal. The staff are friendly and helpful but the hotel does "close down" at midnight each evening and there is no front desk staff or any staff as I could determine in the property so if this is a concern for some travellers, be aware. I would say the hotel is a comfortable place to stay in a town with few options. The breakfast was again adequate but I found that to be the case in all the hotels we stayed in as opposed to in Spain where the breakfasts are sumptious especially in the Pardores. My comments about the restaurant are seperate.

The hotel was wonderful and very comfortable in a great location. Our evening meal was the best we had in Portugal The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We stayed during the wine festival and had a Birds Eye view of the music

The hotel is old-fashioned but comfortable. Our room was large. Breakfast was good. The reception personnel was kind and helpful. Dinner was very good at the hotel restaurant.
