Relaxing short break
Pros:

The staff we met on arrival in reception were both friendly and efficient and explained all we needed to know about the hotel and the facilities.
Our room was on the second floor in the modern wing of the hotel with a lovely view over the mountains. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean and airy. The bathroom was a decent size and the shower was powerful with plenty of hot water.
We had breakfast at the hotel which was in a lovely room and buffet style. There was plenty of choice and variety and everything was of a very good quality.
The hotel had a very relaxed and welcoming feel about it.
The grounds are lovely and it was nice to wander around them after breakfast before setting out for a day exploring.

Cons:

Not sure if it was just on the corridor we were on but the room doors seem to slam shut no matter how quietly you tried to close them. The hotel was not full so this wasn't really a problem but I can imagine that when it is busy the noise from the doors could be rather disturbing especially late at night and early morning. Perhaps ' soft' door closers might be an option. ( Somebody on our corridor obviously just let go of their door and the noise reverberated very loudly).
I was surprised that the only mirror in the bedroom was in the bathroom. It might help if another mirror was placed on a bedroom wall near a socket allowing one person to dry their hair whilst another was using the bathroom.
I was also surprised that although there was complimentary tea and coffee in the room there was no complimentary bottle of water.
These are small points though and would not prevent me from staying there again.

An exquisite palace, warm and welcoming staff, a lovely breakfast, and a perfect location — a truly delightful stay that
Pros:

Everything about this hotel was lovely! The comfort, exquisite decoration, and unique atmosphere of staying in a beautiful palace made the experience truly special. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and helpful, always happy to share tips and recommendations for exploring the area. Even the cleaning ladies were incredibly friendly and greeted us with lovely smiles. The breakfast was delicious, and the location was excellent, just a short walk from the town centre. Every detail contributed to a wonderful stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a charming and memorable experience!

Cons:

Nothing in particular. Everything was great, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Buen hotel, pero…
Pros:

Es un hotel recuperado con buen gusto, buen mobiliario y una cama decente. Muy buen desayuno.

Cons:

Falta una gestión profesional, el aislamiento de las ventanas es mínimo (estamos en octubre y era incómodo desayunar en la galería por el frío, la ventana del dormitorio estaba totalmente empañada), nuestra habitación no tenía ducha, solo una bañera. El parking está fuera del recinto del hotel y es descubierto, muy incómodo en caso de lluvia. Faltaba señalización para llegar desde el parking a recepción.

Palácio Maravilhoso!!!
Pros:

O palácio é lindo, bem decorado, o jardim é perfeito e a piscina aquecida é deliciosa. A piscina externa também é muito linda. O café da manhã é maravilhoso.

Cons:

Mandei mensagem solicitando um mimo de aniversário para meu marido e só fui respondida durante a estadia, o que impossibilitou que eu fizesse a surpresa que gostaria.
