one of the best properties Ive ever visited. Different and beautiful. Don’t miss it. you need to make lunch reservations for the best restaurants but not for dinner since the tourists have left for the day. Great breakfast and restaurant on property. Book it, you won’t be sorry.

We booked a room at the castle for just one night. We found hair from previous guests in the shower. The tile caulk had some moldy stains as well. The water glass in the restroom had toothpaste residues. We told the staff but their response was a simple “we are sorry”. The room service and maintenance wasn’t worth the price paid (over $400/night with taxes). The village is beautiful and totally worth it. We will choose a different place next time though.

First, remember that it IS inside a castle. It is NOT the Four Seasons. That said, here are some and - points: staff could not have been sweeter or more helpful! you will DEFINITELY feel like you are in a castle; it’s COOL: location is perfect for strolling the shops, bars and restaurants and you can hop on the “wall” from anywhere. the associated restaurant is amazing; you just have to be able to navigate all the stairs leading up to it. - First of all, the description of this hotel is very flawed. The “lounge” and “bar” consist of some tables, chairs, and umbrellas outside. The desk guy will bring you wine or beer but the only food or snacks available are ice cream bars in a frig outside. - These rooms are DEFINITELY not “sound proof.” In my 1st night there, I could not go to sleep until the person above me did. Until then, I heard every step he took, every item he dropped or pushed across the floor. Of course, I also woke up when he/she did. I told them about it at the front desk and they moved me to a more quiet room. It was a much smaller room than I had paid for but I didn’t care, as long as I could sleep peacefully. And I did. Up until 11 pm when all heck broke loose with drilling and pounding right outside my door. I called the front desk but they were unaware of any repairs being done. I heard her come up and talk to the guy and by midnight, the noise had stopped. - Yes, it is a castle, but be prepared for extremely poor lighting.

Wow! Never stayed in a castle before. Arrive was impeccable. Walked the wall and an awesome experience. If you can get a room! Take it asap!

Great spot for 1 day. Bit quiet in the evening but very unique. You can walk the castle wall as well which is a cool experience

It was very confusing to determine where to park and how to get to the Pousada, as no cars are allowed. Once we figured that out, a van picked us up in the designated place and took us to the top of the village to the reception area for the hotel. There are a lot of stairs, so not a good place for those with mobility issues. The room was very cozy and the staff were very friendly. Breakfast was included, but you have to walk up some steep stairs to get to the restaurant. Overall we really enjoyed the town, but not sure the expense of the hotel was worth it.

How often can you say you stayed in a castle? As mentioned before, there are a lot of stairs, but it’s worth it to have the experience! Our room was across the hall from an outdoor balcony, which overlooked the area. My husband took a walk around the castle wall in the morning, which he enjoyed. Breakfast was lovely. Overall a nice stay in a beautiful town.

Loved the "idea" and enjoyed staying at the property. Hotel restaurant was good. I appreciated the message warning of the parking arrangement. One criticism would be that the mattress needed to be replaced.
