Our stay at Casa da Insua was a dream! The property is just stunning, with the vast gardens, vineyards, a pool, and even sheep grazing! The interior of the castle is its very own museum, with plenty of rooms and halls to explore. Our room was the perfect combination of historic charm and modern hotel luxury. We would recommend doing the wine tasting in one of the historic kitchens with Diogo, who was excellent! Our stay was one to remember.

Cleanliness was excellent. Would be helpful to have English written wherever Spanish is written. Service was catered to the Spanish guests. Overall I would give this hotel an 8.

Fairytales are real!

I was there for a friend's wedding, but took some extra days - it was so tranquil and special staying in a "castle". I'm definitely going back, since I didn't have time this trip to take advantage of the wine & cheese tastings, among other things. From the minute I entered the gates I felt like a princess and understood completely why my friend had chosen to have her wedding here.

Un parador excelente. Habitaciones amplias personal muy amable. La zona exterior preciosa para descansar y visitar, La casa tiene unos salones preciosos. Lo que menos me gusto el desayuno, muy caro para lo que es, no tienen variedad de cosas y de caliente solo huevos fritos, pero últimamente viene siendo la tónica en general de todos los paradores. Sólo hay enbutidos baratos y unos bienos quesos de la zona, algo de fruta y algo de bolleria.

2/10 Poor

Deux points très négatifs. Chambre : bruit au niveau du circuit de clim et impossible à arrêter extrêmement bruyant empêchant de dormir. J'avais promis à ma femme une nuit de rêve en 5 étoiles ce fut le calvaire... On est mal tombé, public essentiellement espagnol avec des enfants et très bruyant. Côté positif : Accueil très agréable, cadre agréable et atypique (le côté musée est attrayant) Piscine correcte. Dommage qu'il n'y ai pas un bar à cocktails digne de ce nom.

“Great” A place worth staying

Parador casa da insua was a great place to stay after visiting Aveiro, and onto Porto. The room, garden and the castle are very well maintained and in excellent condition. However, the check in and out took over 1 hour with a person ahead of us. The staff was extremely slow. There are very limited options for restaurants or grocery stores nearby. The gym is very poorly equipped. Wi-Fi connection was not reliable.
