Great property! Converted palace with modern renovations and beautiful grounds. Service was outstanding. Large and sumptuous breakfast.

I loved this hotel. the staff were great and the food at the hotel was amazing. the spa amenities were also so worth it. I would come back and stay here and refer the place to others traveling to Coimbra.

Fabulous once-in-a-lifetime experience. Dripping with history. Sumptuous breakfast spread

The room was clean, quiet, and spacious. The staff was helpful and courteous. The pool and grounds were beautiful.

Beautiful hotel surrounded by magnificent gardens!

Nice breakfast spa and service

AMAZING!!!!! we loved the romantic atmosphere. The story behind the castle is breathtaking. You can feel the sense of love, genuineness. Come before everyone else discovers this place. Nestled in Coimbra a mystical like city with its own history.

The property was absolutely gorgeous. We walked around the garden area that would be fabulous for a wedding. The staff were very attentive.

We were lucky enough to receive an upgraded room to the Honeymoon suite of the lovers. A gorgeous 2 floor space which was a wonderful surprise on check in. We enjoyed the pool and spa facilities on our first afternoon before walking into Coimbra for dinner. The morning breakfast is excellent. You could not want for anything. I had an omelette each morning with a wonderful addition of items from the cold buffet. Endless cups of coffee all served with a smile. My husband used both the driving range and the pitch and putt so you could say we made good use of all the services on offer. The staff were all pleasant, helpful and smiling. Easy to walk into the old town - one of two ways depending on which bridge you wish to cross. We did loops - one bridge in and the other on the way back. We also had lunch at Loggia in the University complex and on paying we realised that the hotel actually now owns that restaurant also. A great place for a light bite while exploring the University. Valet parking. You could not want for anything else. Excellent hotel and amenities.

Lovely hotel with beautiful gardens and top level service

Awesome. Best hotel and staff around. I have already recommended it to several people. We will be back.

Beautiful historic hotel with an excellent restaurant. However, the service in the restaurant did not begin to match the quality of the food, disappointing.

Every part of this experience was wonderful. It is a luxurious beautiful place, even in the rain. The tasting menu was enjoyed by our friends and all food was superb. The spa massage was perfect, bring a bathing suit.

A wonderful welcome. Lovely front desk staff.great help and explanation of location. Fantastic food. Absolutely delicious. Garden Room good but not as good as the rest of the amenities. It wasn’t something that would ever stop us from Recommending a stay to anyone else as it was a wonderful historic experience staying at La Quinta.

The place has a lot of history and the staff is very nice. There were no VIP benefits at all. I don’t think they even knew about Expedia VIP. Breakfast is o.k. Bar service and tapas were very good. pizza o.k, pasta not so much. Because of an AD accommodation the hotel did offer a room in the “main house” however it has step to the bathroom and smelled stale and dusty, and the window was tiny , the room didn’t look inviting at all. The other rooms in the spa area were bigger and clean. It’s a long walk however to get anywhere from that part of the hotel. One minus which the hotel should invest in, Nespresso machines in the rooms! This is the first hotel we’ve stayed that doesn’t have Nespresso machines in the rooms for a morning coffee! (Nescafé with hot water is absolutely not an acceptable alternative) The reception, restaurant and bellboy staff were outstanding!

Good restaurant in the hotel and very helpful staff.

Property is beautiful and staff go above and beyond.

Beautiful place to stay whilst visiting this area. It takes you a little out of the city. About a 45 min walk to town. The gardens here are 700 years old with trees that look as old. Many paths to walk down and many gardens to explore. The AC in the room was fantastic. The breakfast was a lot and delish. The hotel itself was an old Castle. If you take your time to explore you will find a chapel, old library along with the main quarters. A wonderful historic hotel !

Lovely hotel and fantastic restaurant.

Excellent staff,unique property,excellent service and excellent brunch

Total Disappointment!!! Ownership and management do not care for this hotel. The place is run down and lack staff to accommodate the most basic services in a hotel. Rooms are outdated and lack basic amenities of wash cloth, iron and ironing tables. Public areas are dirty and have black mold. Restaurants are poor but the few staff members are trying their hardest to satisfy guests. The gym is poorly equipped and dirty. No clean towels! No idea how this property is considered a 4 or 5 stars. Don’t be fooled by very old pictures and videos.

Beautiful and magical hotel. Great bar and restaurant, super friendly staff, amazing history, would like to go back and stay longer since we were there only one night! I want to enjoy the hotel and explore it more!!

The front desk staff was excellent! Duarte the front desk staff was very informative on our introduction to the hotel amenities and history of the Forbidden Love . The hotel was excellent !

Beautiful hotel.

Beautiful property. Only challenge was accessibility. Great staff - especially the bar tenders. Dinner was top notch (did the tasting menu). Also close enough to walk to the center of town.

Stunning historical property including the building and surrounding gardens. Great if you embrace the romance of this setting. Not a place for modernity.

The Gardens and facilities in general

Beautiful

The staff is very friendly and helpful! They share the history and passion in the love story of Pedro and Ines. The food is delightful. History embraces you here!

A very beautiful, romantic hotel. Everything is elegant, classy, and top notch. Thank you for making us feel like royals. Obrigada!!!!

Beautiful property, entrance gate to enter the property. Hotel has a lot of history & has Michelin Star restaurant at the hotel.

Amazing boutique hotel, beautiful inside and outside.
