Amazing!
Pros:

Our stay was amazing. Despite arriving a bit early we were welcomed in and given a tour of the old manor house. The surprises just kept coming: amazing rooms, large courtyard and then a pool surrounded by a lawn area.

Our host also assisted us with dinner reservation. The next morning after a wonderful breakfast with fresh eggs and homemade cake we then got a super informative tour of the chocolate factory. With samples! 😀

Sossego
Pros:

A primeira coisa a destacar é a simpatia, amabilidade e disponibilidade do Afonso. O alojamento é bonito, confortável e muito bem localizado. O quarto é enorme, bem decorado, confortável e limpo. A história do local é encantadora e bem narrada pelo anfitrião. O pequeno-almoço, servido na casa principal, é agradável e saboroso. De destacar o bolo caseiro.

Cons:

Poderiam incluir uns chinelos de quarto, uma vez que disponibilizam roupão. Fica a sugestão.

Pros:

Todo muy bien. Aunque hay poca luz en la zona del baño (donde no hay ventana). Es comprensible por ser una antigua fábrica reacondicionada como hotel rural (o similar). Lo que más nos gustó es la ubicación, el parking público exterior (con abundantes plazas) y el desayuno (espectacular). Yo tb descartaría (sobre todo) la amabilidad de la familia que nos atendió con mucha generosidad, en especial Afonso que (además) habla perfectamente castellano.

Cons:

La poca luz de la zona del baño.

True warm hospitality, history abounds, great recommendations, authentic mansion house experience.
Pros:

Wonderful.place to stay. The warmth and generosity of the hosts. Home made baking and preserves are stunning. My room was huge with the castle walls out the window. The chocolate factory and history tour of the property take the experience to a whole nother dimension. It is in a rural town and they will help you find and get what you need plus other suggestions. I went there straight from lisbon airport and am so glad it was my first stop. They set me up well for the rest of my journey. Thank you for your incredible hospitality.

Cons:

Nothing not to like
