"Just left from an amazing stay as Casa Penhas. An absolute treasure away from the city with majestic views of the mountains. We went on a guided hike, used their heated indoor pool and had a couple massage - all extremely well done and with the utmost customer service.
Food was also delicious and plenty. They served an abundant buffet breakfast, snacks after our hike, and a top-notch dinner.
If you’re looking for rest and relaxation with amazing views, this hotel is for you."

"A comfortable room, excellent food both at dinner and breakfast, and an interesting property with lots of history. The legend of Inez and Pedro gave it a unique twist, and the numerous pictures of them by many different artists were displayed throughout the hotel. We also walked through the gardens in the back. They are probably beautiful in the spring and summer, but being October there were just a few plants still in bloom. We enjoyed our stay very much!"

"We really enjoyed our stay at MiraVilas. The staff were very helpful, the breakfast very nice. Its a quiet location with easy access to all the bike trails. The only reason for 4 stars is the kitchenette was poorly equipped and the burners did not work well."

The hotel has a spectacular position overlooking the river and historical centre of Porto. Service was excellent and not overbearing. Breakfast and dining generally were high quality. The outside pool area is lovely. You can walk down to the river direct from the hotel, where there are a lot of bars and restaurants - it is however quite a steep path, so perhaps not suitable for all. Thoroughly recommended.

We have just returned from a very pleasant stay at this lovely hotel. The staff were excellent, very friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was plentiful and catered for a lot of tastes. The hotel was very well located for an easy walk into the old town. Plenty of nice restaurants to try nearby. We would not hesitate to recommend the Pousada de Viseu and hope to return ourselves one day.

The hotel was excellent, tastefully renovated to high standards. The breakfast each day was fabulous, full of fresh choices each day.
Special mention to Alexander on the front reception - his personal service was exceptional from the minute we arrived.
I highly recommend this hotel - 5stars

Beautiful former palace, we arrived early (11.00) expecting to just leave our luggage but the reception staff checked and our room was ready. We were treat to a glass of port in the lounge (hall of mirrors) and then shown to our room with explanations of where all the facilities were located and how things worked in the room. Our guide left straight away no waiting around with hand out for a tip. The hotel is located about a 2 mile walk along the river from the centre but runs a shuttle bus at...

Location and size of Hotel fantastic for centre of Coimbra. Walking in the gardens you wouldn't believe you were so close to the city centre. Staff were excellent and very attentive.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at the Palacio da Lousa. Our room was big and spacious , the breakfast was comprehensive and catered for all tastes, there is good free parking at the back of the hotel and we had an excellent evening meal one night.

A bit of a climb or a few euro taxi journey from Penafiel's town centre, the Park provides very comfortable rooms – with bathtubs, WiFi and smart furnishings. Staff extremely friendly but a little slow – took them ages to look for (and not find) a map of Penafiel, explain things, etc. Spa consisted of two saunas, dry and wet, both quite large, and a nice-sized jacuzzi. Pool out of commission as there was an exercise class going on – no-one at reception said. Breakfast a spread of nice breads,...
