We stayed three nights in this classy hotel. It was a very special stay in a magnificent castle. The premises are kept meticulously clean and are just beautiful. All the furnishings were just beautiful. The bedroom was spacious and beautifully appointed and the bathroom was beautiful, all in marble, and very clean.
You need to pull into a relatively narrow gated area and then press a button and they will open the gate for you to get in. We overshot the first time, because it was not easy to find.
The location is very good. You walk all the way downhill towards the centre, the market and the Ribeiro area in approximately 20 minutes. Restaurants and shopping is nearby, so is public transport. There is a Metro station not too far away and for convenience. There are a few abandoned properties in the area which look sketchy at night, but that doesn’t take away from the area in my opinion.The staff at reception was friendly and helpful. The staff at breakfast was also super kind and accommodating. The only thing is that you have to carry your luggage up a few flights of stairs, as there is no elevator in the hotel itself (only to get from parking to reception).Breakfast fast plentiful and healthy with a great selection overall. They had an amazing selection of sweet pastries. We loved our stay at this hotel and can highly recommend it due to its spectacular ambiance. We would definitely return and stay here again.
