Spektakuläre, historische Anlage für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt
Pros:

Spektakuläre Lage mit grossartiger Aussicht in der Nähe von Setubal. Grosszügige Zimmer, gute Betten (Upgrade zur Suite). Gutes und reichhaltiges Frühstückbuffet. Sehr zuvorkommendes Personal.

Cons:

Gelegentlich ziemlich laute Geräusche aus einem Nebenraum, die nachts aber nicht aufgetreten sind. Prekäre Parkplatverhältnisse vor allem an den Wochenenden (Veranstaltungen).

Lieu assez magique mais gâché par l'organisation d'événements
Pros:

Très bruyant car deux événements organisés lors de notre séjour sans nous avoir avertis, et lieu de pause du personnel juste en dessous de notre fenêtre.
Dommage !!! car nous avions une suite immense dans un lieu tout à fait exceptionnel sur le plan architectural avec une vue grandiose sur la réserve naturelle et la mer

Cons:
