It was nice to feel like royalty and stay in a palace for the night. It was fun to explore the building. ##### Kelli Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark Oct 11, 2024 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Fabulous historical hotel ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Viktor May 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Only bad thing is that the internet doesn't work in the room, you have to sit in the library/ bar area. Otherwise fabulous! ##### Viktor Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Roy Apr 3, 2025 Liked: Amenities Fantastic historical property with classic 1800 Manuelan architecture. Beautiful park setting and surroundings ideally suited for hiking and discovering the many historic sites in the area. Interior furnishings reflective of the period. Only drawback was the bathroom which needed upgrading. ##### Roy Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brenda Feb 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The Palace is amazing and it was a thrill to stay. Everything was perfect, from checking in to wonderful grounds to delicious dinner. We enjoyed spend quiet time in the bar and wandering the gardens.

Stunning public rooms and gardens. The staff were superb. Restaurant was very good, also a very good buffet breakfast. We upgraded to a larger room with a view of the forest. Only slight issue was the lack of a fridge and safe in the room. Plenty of parking and easy to find. ##### PETER Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Gordon May 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property. A highlight to our trip to Portugal. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Very good buffet breakfast. We enjoyed dinner one night at their restaurant. The lounge common area was very relaxing. The gardens were beautiful. The trails are extensive and we hiked quite a few of them but be prepared for some hills. The monastery was interesting and worth a visit. On the downside, wifi only in lobby and common lounge. Our room was dated and needed some TLC. We spent 2 nights at this hotel and i'd say that was a good amount of time. ##### Gordon Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher May 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Overall amazing stay, can’t wait to come again! ##### Christopher Stayed 1 night in May 2024
