The rooms have balconies that oversee the internal courtyard which is quite pleasant. My room was huge. The hotel has little nooks and crannies which are delightful. They also leave a 24h self-service area where you can make your own tea from a varied selection of teas, it was very comforting. Breakfast also was a pleasant surprise it had a wide range of offerings.

The hotel is beautiful and just around the corner from the palace (where there is ample parking) and all other sights in Vila Vicosa. Our double room exceeded our expectations - we had a separate large lounge area and two terraces overlooking the pool and central area. Breakfasts are varied with hot and cold options. The scrambled egg, in particular, was very good. Somehow we managed to resist the two types of cake on offer (one carrot with a chocolate topping). There is a kettle with tea and coffee which guests can use throughout the day, which we particularly liked. There is also a fascinating little vintage clothes shop on site, which we only visited at night (when it was closed) but seemed very reasonably priced.

Unfortunately - as is usually the case in Portugal - the pool isn't heated, which meant it was a very short dip for me! Everything else was perfect.

Wonderful pink marble town. Just one minute walk from the Ducal Palace. A must see at only 8 euros to view 35 rooms. Lov ed being able, at no cost, to pop down into restaurant anytime to help yourself to free coffee, tea and spring water.

All was perfect

Staff were so friendly and helpful! Went above to help us feel comfortable and welcomed

The building has some lovely spaces for guests to enjoy. Our suite overlooking the pool was spacious with an adjoining comfortable seating area and nice balconies . The 4 poster bed was very comfortable. There was music available in all rooms . We found street parking near the hotel. Good restaurants, the palace and castle are a short stroll. The staff were very friendly, especially the lady running the breakfast room. The breakfast selection was good.

It would be great to have tea and coffee making in the room.

It is a fantastic building in the heart of the old town, centrally located and not far from the Praco Ducal. It is a nice surprise to have a swimming pool in an historical building. There are a lot of cosy common spaces. The room is well sized, modern, bright and comfortable. Breakfast was good with a nice selection of local specialities.

Parking near the hotel is an issue. The only place to park is at the Praco Ducal. Maintenance of this beautiful property could be improved.

Lovely pool and garden area. Exceptional varieties of breakfasts. Good location and it was easy to park on the street and unload baggage at the door.

No plugs for phone chargers. Had to unplug a lamp to charge my phone. Only 1 face towel provided on a room for 2, but to be fair I didn't ask for another and just used the little hand towel.
