A faded beauty. Unfortunately there was rust coming out of the pipes in the bathroom. There was a very large rust stain in the bathtub. No wifi in the rooms..just downstairs in public area. Very limited television. Also, there is a restaurant that is Very overpriced. Having mentioned all the negatives, the grounds, walking paths and gardens are incredibly beautiful..

Not everyday you stay in a Royal Palace!

What an amazing place! The communal areas are fantastic and rich in art. The room was basic but to be expected from an old building. The staff were excellent and couldn’t do enough for us. Overall we had an awesome stay! Oh better add the food was great.

It was ok The place snd the areas are unique, I would like to rate the hotel as 5 . The service at breakfast was disappointed , only 2 waiters, one cleaning the table the second busy to gust service. Ask fo omlet that not arrived, no refill of the ages and the orangjuice at the self service table , The hotel in general required aome refreshment. The rromes are dated , the lobby furniture are old I would return because of the area but don”t expect luxury as it should seen in first look

You're in a palace. What more do you need? Though, the rooms are a little older and run down, you're in a palace! They were clean and comfortable enough. It's so beautiful just to sit inside or in the gardens. Walking around Bussaco forrest is one of the most incredible experiences of my life. This was my second visit and I will be returning.
