Perhaps our expectations were too high but we were very disappointed. Yes, the castle is beautiful, in a very special location, but for us it ended there. In the common areas and rooms the upholstery was frayed and the carpeting stained. There were, quite literally, clumps of dead bugs lying in the folds of the gorgeous draperies. The a/c in... more

Everything about this place is very unique, including, yes the drive up to the castle, with hair-spin twists and turns, but that is all part of the breathless experience that you won't forget. We had a lovely room, almost a suite, with a separate sitting area, handsome bath, and ceilings that must have been almost 18 feet or higher. The... more

What a beautiful place this is! The room was comfortable and lovely. We loved the hotel and town. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Driving there up the hill was a little confusing and hairy at times, but definitely worth it. more

We stayed 3 days in this Pousada last December and had a pleasant vacation. It has a beautiful location and scenery on the top of the hill, inside the castle. Pousada’s interiors, corridors and rooms looked like a museum (paints, pottery, tapestries) and we felt like returning to its ancient days. However, in my opinion, it needs some remodelling works... more

We decided to stay at the Pousada de Estremoz because it had some very good reviews. Maybe our expectations were too high but I have to say were very disappointed. Our room was not what we would have expected from a 4 star hotel. It was all very basic and the bathroom was in need of reburbishment. The pool area... more

Stay at the Pousada Reinha Santa Isabel and feel like royalty for a night. My wife and I had a lovely night at the Pousada in October 2005. Our room - on the second floor was not terribly large - but with high ceilings and antique furnishings - it still had a luxury feel. Our window opened up to the... more

We stayed in this lovely Pousada for my birthday and it was truly a birthday fit for a princess! The rooms were lovely with their antique furniture and wonderful vistas. The staff was just amazing as each and every person we met seemed to know what we were celebrating! The restaurant's food for both dinner and the breakfast was fantastic... more

A jewel of a place - sumptuously furnished and decorated rooms, taking you centuries back into time; grand corridors and halls (not to mention the marble tower that dominates the Estremoz skyline, with superb views from the top); luxurious dining hall, with very friendly, courteous and attentive staff and excellent regional dining; excellent breakfast buffet (weather permitting, in a lovely... more
