Wonderful place to stay
The hotel has the most beautiful views. We were given an upgrade and had a room overlooking both the sea and a the famous church which overlooks the city. At the same time we had a welcome gift of wine, heart biscuits, and grapes. The biscuits and grapes were replenished each day. The breakfast at the hotel was quality and in a beautiful room. This hotel is recommended. The staff are very kind

Great hotel.
Hotel beautiful but decor a little tired. Still in good shape! 5 Star for the hotel, 10 out of 5 Star for the staff. They were outstanding and the off season rate was unbelievable. If we return to Portugal it is on our list for staying!!

Stunning location. Adjacent to the Basilica. Easy access to town via funicular, 3 euro return trip. Weather can be an issue, in particular the fog. If it’s foggy you won’t have any view of the basilica or the ocean. We were blessed with sun for part of our stay! The only place to eat is in the hotel and we found it to be very good and at a reasonable price.

This is a first class hotel with responsive amd friendly staff. The location can be spotted from miles away at the summit of a very high hill above which provides wonderful sights of the city and river. The dinner was outstanding and the staff attentive.

Great views and lovely historic hotel.
Great view and excellent service. The room was comfortable and the hotel is clean. The breakfast is fabulous. It was raining so that made walking down to town challenging but I loved it.

This is a beautiful property with amazing views over the town and ocean. The hotel is lovely, a tad dated but it is beautiful.
It is a twisty drive with switchbacks up to the hotel for those with my fear of heights!

The hotel sits at the top of a little mountain and has spectacular views. The service is great. Food is delicious and they serve a wonderful breakfast buffet. I hope to stay here again. You can take a funicular to go into town.
