Curia Palace Hotel & Spa

History, excellent breakfast! Dinner too! Indoor pool and Spa very modern!

The architecture of the palace is very beautiful. The breakfast was great! The furniture around the hotel in the common areas are beautiful and probably from the 1920s when the hotel was built. The room we had was small but it had 2 sinks and a nice bathtub/shower. The view of the inner courtyard could have been improved with flowers. You had to get there by car. The restaurants are limited in the area unless you have a car. There is a cafe and a Turismo (Tourist information) across the road. You can have supper at the hotel for 21 euros, or go to the neighboring hotel and eat there. It seems like a safe location, and you can walk around at night.

Es un hotel con todo el encanto de un centro tradicional de vacaciones portugués. Muy familiar. Personal extraordinariamente amable. Instalaciones nada sofisticadas aunque correctas.

El hotel es un edificio maravilloso, con aire decadente.

El hotel en general está bastante bien, tendría que mejorar algo el desayuno ,sobre todo el "zumo de ¿naranja?" .Otra cosa a mejorar sería la piscina exterior, le falta algo de limpieza en cuanto a bichos y hojas flotando. La habitación que nos tocó era amplia, con luz, con una tv moderna que te suministra el wifi, y un baño amplio también.

This is a very unique hotel tucked away in the central part of Portugal. The facility was the perfect location for us because we were attending a family event in the area. The location was also ideal if you are traveling between Porto, Coimbra, Anadia, or anywhere in the area. The hotel, pool, and grounds at the front of the hotel were beautiful. The staff was very friendly, helpful and there was always someone at the desk who spoke English. The room was adequately comfortable and we appreciated the air conditioning. The breakfast was especially appreciated and had many choices of foods and drinks available. We did not eat other meals at the hotel, but the dining room is available throughout the day. When we travel to see family in the future, we will stay here again. One disappointment was that the golf course is closed even though it is advertised and there are many signs in the area promoting the golf course. Maybe this closure is temporary as we did see that the course is being watered and somewhat maintained.

Outstanding in every way! Lovely trip back to an earlier more elegant time. Exquisite breakfast served in an opulent setting. Delightful common areas, helpful staff, spa and bikes. A wonderful experience. Also enjoyed dinner in the very elegant dining room.

Excelente hotel para relaxar.

This castle is so pretty from the outside, and so disappointing and badly managed on the inside. List of problems: bad room - we got two single beds when we ordered a double. View of concrete wall. No hot water. Bad water pressure. WiFi wasn’t working in our room. Bad smell in the room. Everything is very old and badly maintained. Bad “spa”. Jacuzzi is cold. Swimming pool is full of chlorine. Bad showers. It’s not really a spa. And again, everything is so old. Staff are trying to be helpful but it seems their hands are tied. The building is beautiful and has so much potential, that bad management is ruining. Bottom line - worst value for money in a long time.

Loved this hotel. It was like stepping into an Agatha Christy book.
