Espiunca Hotels

"The staff was most welcoming, efficiant and helpful. The balcony with river view was wonderful. The complimentary bottle of wine in the room was special."

"Always the best staff and service at this great hotel , we are sorry to be home . "

"Balcony view was brilliant very relaxing place to stay "

"Rita was so knowledgeable and engaging. All of the staff went above and beyond. "

"The property was renovated, very clean, great amenities, very easy to check in and check out, all automatically. The only thing we would highlight is, because it's right in front of a church, be prepared to be woken up at 7am with the bells, we certainly couldn't sleep in the morning. "

"The hotel is in great condition The staff were outstanding and accommodating We loved the location in the valley and did a wine tasting close by which was excellent "

"Great"

"Breakfast was a bit shambolic. Scrambled egg, bacon, mushrooms and sausage for a cooked option is lacking somewhat. Even with such little hot selection it was rarely replenished meaning a wait. When the hotel is full, they'll never cope with thr size of the kitchen and the restaurant. That was the only disappointing thinking. Other than that, a faultless stay. "

"Absolutely stunning, historic property. Exceeds expectation. If you like Four Seasons, this far outshines. Property, accommodations, staff, and location are outstanding. We stayed in beautiful hotels in Portugal--this one is far/away the finest. Location is in the center of the historic, beautiful, charming village, which cannot be missed for meals, strolling, photos, etc. Highly recommend making the trip to the Arouca Geo Park for the Paiva Walkways and the suspension pedestrian bridge--experience of a lifetime!"
