Not a place that I would recommend or ever go back to. It needs to be taken over by an serious brand that would have ser
Pros:

A historical building that overlooks Estremoz.

Cons:

The property is totally run down, made of bits and pieces, mostly broken pieces. The staff is very limited (expect to carry your luggage), cleaning is dubious, and it is very obvious that there is no investment or maintenance. What a pity.

Pros:

Eindrückliches und sehr gepflegtes Palast-Hotel an Bestlage mit einem ausgezeichneten Restaurant und einem hervorragenden, reichhaltigen Frühstück. Sehr freundliches Personal.
Ideal für einen Kurzaufenthalt - problemloses Parken vor dem Palast.

Ein herrliches Gefühl die Palastgeschichte zu fühlen
Pros:

Wie um einige Jahrzehnte zurückversetzt und zugleich die moderne Technik nutzen zu dürfen. So fühlt man sich in dem Palast. Estermoz ist ein Zentrum der weltbekannten Marmorindustrie.

Uma visita com história
Pros:

De tudo um pouco, particularmente do serviço, muito atencioso

Cons:

É um mosteiro, mas quarto ainda mais escuro pela cortina pesada que nem permite ser afastada.

Diferente experiencia para mais tarde recordar...
Pros:

O edifício é soberbo...uma experiencia muito boa, onde se sente o peso da historia e a leveza do que os dias de hoje podem fazer por nós. Pequeno almoço muito bom.

Cons:

Precisa de mais atenção à manutenção , principalmente investimento na modernização que possa ser possivel para que a experiencia seja de facto soberba.
