Cons -
- The TV in the rooms is very small. The pool area is a bit tight and the interior pool water should be a bit warmer. The Spa did not have enough professionals to accommodate the reservations we wished to book for the Spa.The entry room yellow couches had several stains.
- The food options were very limited. Being remotely located there were no other places to eat. The bar and restaurant were only open for about 2 hours at lunch and dinner time.

Comfortable hotel with exceptionally well maintained grounds. Clean, spacious rooms and extremely attentive staff. Surprisingly the hotel restaurant and bar are the best value for money ever. I highly recommend meals at this hotel. Indoor swimming pool is rather modest and if you're looking for a place to relax, the pool will probably not be the best place for this. Weekends are very popular with families and their children so expect the pool to be rather (too) noisy. Visited in March so cannot assess the likewise small outdoor pool. Nonetheless, the impeccable laws and stream that runs through the property give this design hotel a countryside atmosphere. Will definitely return.
The staff was wonderful! They went above and beyond to help me with a problem even though it was past midnight. The grounds and river are lovely.
Warm welcome from reception. Very pretty location and great views from the room which had a skylight through which we could see swallows flying. Our room was nice, spacious, comfortable bed. Bathroom was spacious.
Dinner service in the restaurant was initially slow and a little offhand before more staff arrived. Better attention should be paid to removing cobwebs in the room with high ceilings.
The breakfast was great, they give flipflops and "roupão" that was amazing. The hotel facilities are beautiful as well and the staff very kind.
Location is amazing. Penela is lovely town and the hotel is in the countryside very close.Staff are great and attentive.Value for money.
Possibly trying too hard to be “designer”.The gardens are abit “tired” and the decking is not good in laced. But I was there in Winter, so…
Staff were very friendly attentive and helpful, the room was very spacious and very clean
We tried to book a massage for myself and my husband when I booked over 6 weeks previously but they were unable to get 2 masseuse available for a couples massage.We had asked for the invoice to be sent via email but this hasn’t arrived yet.
The staff are exceptional. Very polite, friendly, and welcoming. They spoke really good english, and nothing was a bother. The breakfast was good, the scenery was beautiful, and the walks you find where amazing. I loved our stay.
The only thing I would have liked was a comfier bed and ideally a double bed and not too singles. I found the matteress really hard which i woke up to my back hurting.
Good room and bathroom. Both very spacious. Good buffet dinner. A very nice garden surrounding the hotel. Great place to rest.
An electric plug was missing next to my side of the bed and there was no table lamp either. There should be a door to get to the swimming pool instead of passing through the spa!
Good breakfastcomfortable bednice surroundings
dated roomscrazy design not matching Roman topicno information of need to have a swim cap for using pool and jacuzzi
Everything was superb. The staff were great, very helpful & courteous, the breakfast was excellent, evening meals were lovely too. The spa area also was great, very relaxing massage by a lovely lady.
Maybe a little less jazz than was played constantly in the restaurant and bar areas - but just not our favourite genre of music, not a problem at all.
The location is very convenient for us but the hotel itself is spotless and breakfasts perfect.
Almost Everything. From the History of the building, the food, staff accommodation .Very comfortable bed. Beautiful linen. Staff remembered us from our visit a year earlier which was lovely. Good parking and location just off the A13.
We would have liked tea making facilities in our room. The bar service can be a bit slow but no big problem,
Surrounding nature! Great buffet dinner! Super friendly staff!
Breakfast wasn’t bad but I missed the homemade bread. also when there’s a lot of people at the same time, the food should be replenished faster.
Very good
The breakfast room is too crowded, it’s advisable to have more staff (specially on holiday season) and to schedule slot times for guests, in order to avoid overcrowding
The indoor swimming pool was nice, and the diner buffet was very good. The room was ok
The room was a bit noisy, not sure if it was the ventilation or the fridge.
Supper nice and quiet hotel to wake up with the sound of the river the runs below,fun decor simulating the rise and fall for the roman empire by different design for each floor level,nice spa to relax after along day of travel and really friendly staff.
Very pleasant hotel in a nice quiet location. excellent staff and delicious food
