Een absolute aanrader deze Pousada: prachtige omgeving, lekker eten, mooi uitzicht!
Pros:

Prachtige lokatie/omgeving, authentiek gebouw en een heel goed restaurant. Ook geschikt als je op doorreis bent, ligt niet ver van de snelweg. Een aanrader.

Cons:

De kamers zijn eenvoudig, maar het uitzicht en het restaurant maakt alles goed.

Great historical place to stay, memorable.
Pros:

Historic property with outstanding views. Pool looked great but too cool when we visited to use. Breakfast was good. Restaurant was good.

Cons:

All good- maybe a little more historical write up in English. Was very detailed in Portuguese but difficult to translate using apps

Un séjour agréable au calme avec un très bon restaurant
Pros:

L’emplacement au calme et de belles vues sur la campagne à 30 min en voiture par route tranquille pour des randonnées dans la Serra de Estrella.
Le restaurant, les plats étaient excellents. Nous y avons mangé 5 fois sans nous lasser.
Les petits déjeuner parfaits, large choix en salé et très bon café.
La vaste chambre avec balcon.
Bonne literie
Personnel discret et aimable.

Cons:

Le froid! La chambre n’était pas chauffée à l’arrivée. Plusieurs heures ont été nécessaires pour obtenir une température confortable. Il est peu agréable de rester dans les magnifiques salons, il y fait froid. Le restaurant et la salle de petit déjeuner étaient bien chauffés. Séjours début mars.
Pas de sèche serviettes dans la salle de bain… les serviettes sont changées chaque jour: bien pour les avoir sèches… pour l’environnement pas top.
Rideaux de douche!
Salle de bain datée - ceci dit la pression de l’eau et la température très bien.

Geschmackvolle Einrichtung, tolle Lage

Nach dem Regen war eine Wasserpfütze im Zimmer.

Das Essen war sehr gut, aber teilweise schon etwas zu kalt.

Muito agradável.
Pros:

Gostei muito da localização e da paisagem que são excelentes. Também gostei da decoração e do conforto que sente na maioria das salas disponíveis. Gostei do pequeno almoço embora penso quer poderia ter mais oferta de frutas e iogurtes (por ex. sem lactose).

Cons:

A temperatura da água quente na casa de banho não passa de um pouco acima do morno pelo que poderia ser bem mais alta. O corredor do piso 0 de acesso aos quartos é bastante frio que contrasta muito com a temperatura dos quartos que é, e bem, muito quente.
