It was ok
The place snd the areas are unique, I would like to rate the hotel as 5 .
The service at breakfast was disappointed , only 2 waiters, one cleaning the table the second busy to gust service. Ask fo omlet that not arrived, no refill of the ages and the orangjuice at the self service table ,
The hotel in general required aome refreshment.
The rromes are dated , the lobby furniture are old
I would return because of the area but don”t expect luxury as it should seen in first look

Amazing exterior but super simple and basic rooms. There's no hair conditioner in rooms. Old and uncomfortable beds. Do not recommend

Beautiful castle and gardens. Very helpful staff. Great breakfast. Did not eat dinner at the hotel, opted to eat dinner in the town of Luso and Coimbra.
The castle is situated in a beautiful national forest and makes for a great adventure.

The hotel looks like a medieval castle but was actually built in the late 1800. There's a wow factor when approach the hotel. And some of the common areas are impressive such as the dining room. The young gentleman at the reception was very kind and helpful. And the surrounding forest is beautiful.
But the positives stop there. The problem is the hotel is falling apart. And the owners don't care. Wallpaper peeling off all over the place. Dirty bathroom och bathtub. Toilet doesn't flush properly. The cleaning staff must find paper and worse floating in the bowl every time they clean the room.
The staff in the restaurant is like Faulty Towers. Running here and there nervously, arguing with each other, throwing food on the table and running away again. We actually had a good laugh at it all, but considering the price and low quality of the food it's a disgrace.
Go here, look at the hotel and forest, but then leave and stay and eat elsewhere.

Beautifully ornate property. Very impressive decor throughout the common areas. Lots of good walking trails around the palace. The rooms are basic however and the food was abysmal.

The rooms (on level 1 anyway) are extremely dated and would be closer to a 3 ⭐ anywhere else in the world. The bathroom amenities were disappointing and there is no iron & ironing board in the room. Overall the hotel is beautiful with some stunning features including a magnificent forest to explore. The staff were all friendly enough and we enjoyed a nice meal in the restaurant.

The castle is stunning and the grounds are beautiful. Our room was very small but comfortable. It would have been nice to have tea and coffee making facilities in the room.
The staff at reception were lovely and we enjoyed the hearing the history of the building. What let the place down was the food in the beautiful dining room, the service was very slow ( we did get many apologies about that) the quality of the food was okay but very expensive for what it was.

For a 5 star hotel, it was rather shabby and sad. However, an interesting stay in a unusual and unique hotel.

Buildt as a retreat for a king and later used as a resort for the rich. Spacious common rooms and a grand staircase. Excellent foods served in a beautiful dining room.
The hotel is placed in a big park with numerous trails in the woods.

Older hotel with its charm but , lots of cracks on the walls in the room and bathroom, they could use some aromas to be rid of stale scent in the hallways
The younger staff in front weee fantastic
Breakfast was great
The nature and hike grounds are spectacular
No air conditioning - be ware if going in summer , you will rely on cooler air from outside which means you have to leave your walk in windows open - as we did all night

Last visited Bucaco 40 years ago. Our return surpassed everything we enjoyed all those years ago. Kind, attentive service from the moment we arrived. Fine food. Stunning views. Fascinating history. Great walks. What a treat. Thank you.

This hotel is stunning both inside and out. First experience of staying at a Pousada and hope its not the last.
The rooms are simple and clean, but its all about where you are staying. Fabulous architecture and historic features, beautiful and peaceful gardens and scenery in general. The staff are amazing as are the restaurant and bar. Probably the best weekend stay I've ever had.
