When asked how the pork was cooked the waiter did not recommend the pork ' because customers did not like it". He proceeded to recommend the hake. When it arrived it was very unpleasant smothered with hollandaise sause. It appeased that the waiter was instructed to sell the hake because a number of other guests were being served the same. Not nice to eat either. When my partner cammented on the prawns as being unpalatable they took them away and offered another portion which she said no to. Then they refused to serve us with the exeption of a young waiter whe was directed to deal with us. When the bill came the prawns were still on the bill! They subsequently took them off. Very limited meal options and terrible experience. ##### Cornelis Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clara Sep 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property in lovely setting. ##### Clara Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### PATRICIA Aug 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Très bel hôtel : grands espaces intérieurs et extérieurs, magnifique vue… ##### PATRICIA Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Carlos Jul 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### Vistas deslumbrante serviço aquém do expectável A Pousada tem, sem dúvida, uma localização privilegiada e uma vista magnífica, criando uma atmosfera especial e tranquila. A piscina é excelente, embora o acesso à mesma se faça pela lateral do edifício, passando por uma zona de serviço — o que quebra um pouco a experiência, especialmente num espaço com estas características. O pequeno-almoço é bom e variado. No entanto, o atendimento da recepção ficou muito aquém do esperado, recepcionista nada simpática (uma menina jovem mas com pouco jeito para interagir com os clientes). Para um hotel onde pagámos 253€ por noite, esperávamos outro tipo de atenção ao detalhe: não fomos recebidos com uma taça de espumante e também não havia ninguém disponível para nos ajudar com as malas desde o carro até ao quarto, algo básico num serviço desta categoria. No geral, o potencial da Pousada é grande, mas há aspectos importantes na experiência do cliente que precisam de ser revistos para corresponder ao nível e ao preço praticado. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ffb8a5ca-8b7a-42ba-be15-6337319ba731-1753573508424.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/86557789-c0e4-4376-b7e4-3cc7f5501b9c-1753573508613.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/326ccc3a-6291-49a8-8c89-5b9fb49e6da4-1753573508994.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Carlos Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roya Jul 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very clean, quite place and polite staff . ![Romantic place💓](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/990501e6-d903-451b-bf2c-e0d3b1818d82-1753533338644.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Roya Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### LUIZ ROBERTO Jul 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Hotel no topo da montanha, confortável, proximo da igreja e do funicular para descer até a cidade ##### LUIZ ROBERTO Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jef Jun 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### MAJESTUEUS GEBOUW EN LIGGING Geweldig mooi gelegen hotel met prima accommodatie. Restaurant is goed, een meer wisselende menukaart zou de keuzes kunnen vergemakkelijken. Ook het laadpunt voor EV is een pluspunt. ##### Jef Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### FCO. JAVIER Apr 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service La Pousada está en un sitio privilegiado. Es un edificio con mucho encanto, pero se siente muy gastado. Le hace falta una reforma. El cuarto de baño es muy antiguo y las cañerías dan olor. Reservamos una habitación para tres adultos, pero la cama adicional era muy incómoda. Estando el hotel con muy baja ocupación, nos instalaron en una habitación sin vistas al océano. El desayuno y el servicio de limpieza bueno. Tiene una relación calidad/precio mala. ##### FCO. JAVIER Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### lorrie Mar 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It’s all about the location at the top of a mountain overlooking a jewel box of a church. This grand hotel was built in the early 1900’s. It has been renovated but is definitely an older property. Room was comfortable and the view was AMAZING. Breakfast was wonderful. ##### lorrie Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### David Mar 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Hard to beat the views from this historic hotel. Perched on top the mountain overlooking the city of Viana do Castelo and the river below is breathtaking. Staff very helpful and professional. Rooms a bit dated but clean and comfortable. You may need to get creative to charge electronic devices as outlets are scarce. Nice breakfast with wide variety offered. Transport to town on the funicular is available during the day, ample parking at the hotel. ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas Jan 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great hotel. Hotel beautiful but decor a little tired. Still in good shape! 5 Star for the hotel, 10 out of 5 Star for the staff. They were outstanding and the off season rate was unbelievable. If we return to Portugal it is on our list for staying!! ##### Thomas Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### RICARDO Jan 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Pousada incrível.

Pena que o serviço, talvez pela época que fomos, deixou a desejar - Com exceção do moço do café da manhã, os funcionários me pareceram nos evitar. Não havia funcionários disponíveis parecia. O ar condicionado do quarto não funcionava. ##### Eduardo Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### PAMELA EMILY Oct 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### La pousada inolvidable Precioso y con unas vistas envidiables ##### PAMELA EMILY Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Oct 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a view of the cathedral - outstanding! ##### David Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Felipe B Oct 8, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service Hotel datado: aparência de muito antigo. O quarto não estava totalmente limpo, havia teias de aranha no closet. O café da manhã não era nada de especial, apesar de não ser ruim e ter boa variedade. Pouca voluntariedade dos funcionários com os hóspedes lusófonos. ##### Felipe B Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024
