We stayed here for 2 nights at the start of the tour. The public areas in the main building are absolutely stunning with large rooms, high ceilings and period furniture and we fervently hoped our room would be in this section. Sadly we were put in the garden wing where the cheaper rooms are, but this was only to be expected given the very reasonable cost of our tour! Our room was very nicely decorated with every amenity and the only (minor) problem was that the garden location meant a lack of natural light and an over-abundance of ants. The wine tasting before dinner in the hotel bar is a nice touch but drinking on an empty stomach was probably not the best of ideas for us that night! We had dinner included in the hotel on our first night and were allowed to chose 3 courses from the evening menu and were also given a choice of water and wine. I think the items we consumed added up to 70 Euros per person. The food and service were very good, but definitely did not justify the high cost.
We chose to eat in town on the second night, at a restaurant down some steps from the Largo da Portagem (I think it was called Aeminium)
