    We had one of the best rooms, upstairs with a large balcony overlooking the river and Tui. Large room with a wall of windows, excellent views. Very comfortable. Very good breakfast, very attentive staff. Great to be inside the castle walls at night when everyone else has gone. Driving inside the castle to the hotel was fun, too.

    Great location - but bike riders beware of hidden fees!

    • Stayed 1 night

    We were charged € 7,50 for the storing of an ebike overnight, in a store-room which was not a garage but a workshop. This is a total rip-off, and we were traveling with 16 ebikes in total, so bike storage was proportionally more expensive than a room. This policy needs to be done away with and all bikers should be aware of this! The hotel needs a soft refurb overall and the rooms in particular, in one of the rooms the toilet drainage didn't work.

    Biggest plus is the location inside the ancient fortress. Breakfast buffet was very good, the terrace and garden with the views are another value-add. Quiet street with hardly any traffic and all attractions of the town can be reached on foot.

    A very pleasant stay in a Pousada upon a Historical Stronghold
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple

    • Stayed 2 nights

    The Restaurant had fine food, but it needed a little bit more condiments. The flavors did not quite come through. The Restaurant Prices were absurd and very high for the taste of the food. Other than this, just a recommendation: if you have the furniture and the space, organize it well, it will improve a room so much more.

    The pictures of the Pousada do not make it justice. They really should change them to better ones. The room was fine, although I would change -actually I did change - some of the furniture around. The staff was exceptional, and the breakfast - which I always have in my room - was superb.

    Bathroom was poorly laid out. Toilet behind the door. Shower fitting leaked and sprayed water everywhere. Not what we've come to expect from Pousada hotels.

    Great location. Spacious room. Clean. Tremendous breakfast. Spectacular views from the dining and common areas. Very comfortable bed.
