Pestana Palacio do Freixo, Pousada & National Monument - The Leading Hotels of the World
10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at this beautiful and historic hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. We were delighted to receive a complimentary room upgrade, which made our experience even more special. The room itself was elegant, comfortable, and filled with thoughtful touches that showcased both charm and modern comfort.
The food was outstanding—each meal felt carefully prepared and full of flavor, making dining here a true highlight. The amenities throughout the hotel were equally impressive, striking a perfect balance between history and luxury. Every detail, from the décor to the overall atmosphere, added to the sense of staying somewhere truly unique.
We left feeling relaxed, cared for, and already planning a return. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable and luxurious experience in a historic setting."

"We enjoyed the spa options and the quiet environment made for a very relaxing weekend. We were able to visit a winery with assistance from the staff and drive through the beautiful Douro Valley. "
"We stayed here in the middle of a 14 day vacation. It was very relaxing, clean and awesome spa amenities. I especially appreciated the Turkish Bath. The rooms were very nice with incredible views and balconies. Great place to unwind. "
"I expected more to be honest especially for the prices. Ive used the spa facility before and that is brilliant but this was the first time staying. Lobby looks great but rooms need renovating. There was also a christmas party on one of the nights so music was quite loud and could be heard in the room thankfully it wasn't on till very late but still not what you expect when staying at a soundproof hotel. The spa hours are also restricted some days so we were unable to use the facilities during our stay. Other hotels have extended hours for guests and earlier opening times. "
Enjoy a stroll along the shore at Melres River Beach and Foz Cabril River Beach. Discover sights such as 516 Arouca Suspension Bridge, Passadiços do Paiva and Oceânico Laguna Golf Course - Vilamoura during your stay.
