Pousada de Estremoz Restaurant

Exceptional. When you stay at the Pousada Castelo Estremoz you enter a different world a world of serious history, a world of luxury, and a world of service courteous and friendly at all times. High praise for the lovely staff and fabulous visit; much enjoyed!

Arrived to have a look at the hotel for the potential to stay the following day. I asked politely to view the bar and was asked to pay 2 eur per person for such privilege. The audacity of the staff. I was profiled despite being a very well mannered and dressed english gentleman. I hope you change this outrageous policy before I document it in my upcoming newsletter about Estramoz.

Beautifully restored authentic castle. Luxurious rooms. Really well priced. We had a nice dinner and fabulous breakfast.

Staying in an old palace is a really cool experience, especially for those of us from the new world. The paintings, furnishings, tapestries, and other antiquities throughout the building really drove home the setting for us. The rooms are on the small side and they actually look a bit bigger on the website than they are in person. Our room had a bed, 1 armchair a side table with a wooden chair, and a TV with stand. The entryway had a closet system and the bathroom was large but awkwardly setup. The toilet was very close to the shower and the bidet took up prime real estate. The bathrooms would be much more useful and luxurious with the bidets. The views out of the palace windows were amazing and we were surprised to see horses, chickens, and farms so close to the castle still today. It definitely gave you that old world feel. Breakfast in the dining room was fantastic and the lounges throughout the main level of the hotel were great for an evening of relaxing. There was a small bar that was open relatively late, but the restaurant was closed during our stay in the evenings. We had a very nice time and would certainly recommend to others.

This is a nice, cosy place to sit down and drink a tea in the afternoon protected from the cold air of Autumn outside. The staff is nice, although they tend to disappear and you have to call them using a bell on at the bar
