Casa Velha do Palheiro

We keep coming back. Beautiful building and gardens. Further enhanced by free access to adjacent botanical garden. Quality of rooms excellent. Dining is superb. beautiful golf course attached - not that we play but an attraction for those who do. Heated swimming pool with Spa and small gym. It ticks so many boxes for us.

We stayed as a family and loved the place. The gardens, swimming pool (heated!), tennis, the amazing breakfast and most of all the freindly staff! We will be back :)

In the middle of a beautiful garden, the cottage is peaceful to stay in. We appreciated also the food and good services. The golf is also great.

An incredible place with a stunning property and a magnificent garden – it was a pleasure to stroll around with our dog. The overall atmosphere is very appealing: tranquility, privacy, and a mature guest crowd, which is a huge plus as everyone respects each other’s space. I lowered the rating only because of the poorly designed “Do Not Disturb” and “Please Clean the Room” door signs. The wind kept flipping them, and as a result, we were woken up several times in the morning despite setting “Do Not Disturb,” and our room wasn’t cleaned when we requested it. We didn’t make it to the restaurant because of inconsistencies with room service—ordered a Caesar salad with grilled chicken but received boiled chicken instead, and the same issue happened with the sandwiches. Everything was tasty and well-prepared, just not what we expected. We would love to return and will definitely recommend the hotel. The wine was fantastic—we ordered some in Madrid and have already shared it with family! With great respect, Kseniia & Kiryl

a wonderfully relaxing holiday in a beautiful place which was just what we wanted. we don't often finish a holiday thinking we would like to do it all again!
