This is a 3 star hotel that should be rated 4 star. It has all the amenities required with the exception of the indoor swiming pool. They only have the outdor one. Went there for a private event and had no expectations. A new wing provides for updated rooms.
Another plus: it has a massive,historic garden.
The negative is also related to the hotel age. The tenis court needs a review, and also some buildings require revision or upgrades.
The restaurant is good, but that region is known exactly for the good food, so you can never go wrong.

We stayed for just 1 night but found everything perfect. Location in the park, lovely pool, cosy bar, very large bedroom and bathroom, historic thermal baths next door. Very relaxing.

We stayed here for 1 night after a very long drive. we stayed in a suite which was immaculate and clean with modern touches and a lovey verandah. The hotel is surrounded by trees and has such a calming feeling which made us feel restfull & unstressed. We had eaten in mealhada (suckling pig) and so did not try the food in the hotel. Breakast was good and there seemed to be a lot of "oldies" as this hotel is known for health qualities.

I would recommend this hotel as a good stop between Lisbon & Porto and to try the local Bairrada wines and suckling pig.
