A beautiful hotel with tastefully designed rooms.Very attentive staff.The breakfast was amazing.We preordered it the evening before because of covid restrictions and to be honest it was way more than we could eat but very fresh and tasty.The hotel has a lovely swimming pool.It also offers pizza and bar food in the evening if you don’t feel like traveling to Fundão.Would highly recommend.

Although we did not stay in the hotel we stayed in our motorhome at this wonderful vineyard. The hosts could not have been more hospitable. We sampled their delicious organic wine. Had fresh bread delivered each morning. Views of the vineyards, idyllic setting. We will most definitely return during the season when everything is fully open. Thank you Lenders family for making it such a memorable visit.

Excellent hotel

Reviewed By tomamokan

This is an excellent hotel. The room had a long counter alongside one wall making it easy to keep organized. There was a well equipped bathroom with a nice bathtub. The bed was comfortable. My only quibble is that removing your key card turns off power to all outlets, making it impossible to charge a device without leaving a key card there.

Maybe a 3* in the making

Reviewed By uk1theo

Great place, I was pleasantly please when I arrived, parking was a bit of a pain, it was available locally but was street parking, and a short walk to the Hotel. The Hotel was a pleasant place to be, impressive reception and the Staff were very Covid aware, which gave a good feeling. Rooms were sizable and comfortable, with en suite bathroom. Breakfast was included in the price, and a very nice breakfast, more Continental than 'Full English' but plentiful, fresh and tasty. Think this is shown as a 2* hotel, easily a 3* but overall a really nice place to stay. Handy walk into Castelo Branco. Certainly worth a visit, nicely priced to.

We were a party of three, staying in a triple room (2 twin beds + sofa/bed). The hotel is located at one of the highest points of the city. The rooms are modern and well decorated/designed. It is recommended upon booking the room, to reserve a table in the super popular and very successful restaurant of the hotel.

Great small hotel, a very nice surprise

Reviewed By LUIS F

I booked directly with the hotel and the price was very atractive, more if we think it's middle August. The place it's not obvious to find but the indications from the hotel are precise. If you have big bags ask the support of the hotel they help you in the moment. The hotel it's open since march and it's like an old building transformed in a boutique hotel. The patio it's also restaurant, has very good street art in the walls. The service it's very, very friendly and fast. Very beautiful inside with decorated corners, with Covilhã town motifs. In the last floor there's stairs for a patio with a fabulous view of the town and surroundings. The room it's big, very good bed and pillows, with a perfect isolation from the gourmet restaurant in the patio. Good breakfast, next time I'll have dinner.
