We found ourselves on top of the world. A wonderful building with a fantastic view, the Atlantic on one side and the mountains on the other, and the Lima river emptying itself in the ocean.

Beautiful place to stay and understand it historical but could still use a little modernization.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

This hotel is absolutely worth visiting, and paying extra for a room with a sea view is highly recommended. The views are fantastic and truly incredible, making the room upgrade completely worth it. The hotel has a great atmosphere that exudes class, complemented by excellent service throughout our stay. The pool area is beautiful, and the rooms themselves are wonderful—just make sure to book one with a view. There are also nice amenities on-site, including a billiard table. As a tip for future guests, it is a good idea to ask the staff when the breakfast room is least crowded to avoid the rush. While the breakfast itself was good, the coffee machine was slow, which unfortunately created a bit of a queue. Overall, a great experience. Don't miss out on exploring the property and the nearby spots to take in the spectacular scenery.

Great room and very helpful staff. Brought us a fan to the room because the AC was turned off for the winter. The view from the room was breathtaking. Really comfy feeling at the property and cool things to see just a short hike or funicular away. The breakfasts were nice, rooms clean and comfy bedding. Would definitely go back to visit and stay. Just a chill place... especially in the off-season.

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!

First visited this Pousada in 1997 and said if we ever come bs k to Portugal we must come back to this beautiful panoramic location. We were very pleased with our reception, room and the great breakfast and dinner. Even better than we remembered,

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.

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.

I will start with the service at the front desk. Wow! this is what hospitality should look like at every hotel. The front desk manager helped solving some problems upon arrival, since we were traveling by bike on the Camino de Santiago. He made sure that the bikes could charge overnight and they even moved them to the storage area themselves, while we were changing clothes in our room. Provided water for our flasks the next day. All of this, while being friendly, calm and helpful. He arranged a taxi for us to get to/from the village downhill (the road is a steep 5 kilometer stretch). Congratulations! We will never forget this level of service. Breakfast the next day was wonderful at the main restaurant, which also enjoys breathtaking views. the buffet had a wide array of local and world delicacies. Don’t overthink staying at this property. It is well worth it.

It’s all about the location at the top of a mountain overlooking a jewel box of a church. This grand hotel was built in the early 1900’s. It has been renovated but is definitely an older property. Room was comfortable and the view was AMAZING. Breakfast was wonderful.

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!!

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.

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
