Independent in Cerva from AU$105

"The hotel was difficult to find but once we were there, everything was fabulous. "

"A hotel set in beautiful surroundings. The staff were very friendly and welcoming to us and the dog. The room was a good size and had a balcony with a hammock and lake view. The breakfast was good, with freshly cooked eggs. The food in the evening was a bit limited; only one choice of a main meal but there were numerous bar snacks and sharing platters. Not really a problem though, as there was a restaurant 5 minutes walk down the road. In all a very enjoyable stay"

"This was such a special experience. Every member of the team tested us as friends and family. The hotel is beautiful as are viniards. It is to find a better view and it is in every direction. We really enjoyed the 15 course dinner. And their Wellness center is the state of art. Thank you dear friends at Casa De Calçada. We very much loved our time with you"

"Nice hotel in good location. "

"Great place to relax, eat and drink nice wine. The accommodation was unique, spacious and comfortable. The restaurant had an outside terrace with lovely views. The 5 course tasting menu with paired wines was fantastic and the young waiter who served us was humorous and extremely knowledgeable about the wines. The service he gave was exemplary. However, during our 2 night stay we encountered a significant number of other staff who could do with more training regarding service and general attentiveness (not just in the restaurant but mainly around the hotel when coming across staff. I would expect them to greet you, etc and not just walk past). The pool area and bar was nice but there was not enough shade or sunbeds and the youngish bar tender was rude to some guests. Overall we loved everything about the hotel but it was let down a bit by some of the staff."

"5star experience! Wasn’t our first time there. And it definitely will not be our last!! "

"We chose this hotel due to its proximity to the historic sights and the walking trails. Also convenient to good dining options. The breakfast was really good as well. Nice, clean and affordable. There is no parking on-site but they have access to parking garage spaces in the same block for additional fee. "

"Amazing mountain location, bike-friendly property"

"Staff at the hotel were superb.. I read some of the comments about five star hotel in previous reviews while the hotel itself may not be a five-star the staff and the service is easily five-star… I laugh at some of the comments…. if you want little slippers and matching housecoat, look like a prince and princess, then go to Palace… the meals were suburban with the first class chef from Brazil… when I came to the restaurant bar you couldn’t want more for service and quality…. awesome place for a weekend getaway… so inconvenient to get to some of the winery for tastings, but make the best of it…."
