Curia Palace Hotel & Spa Reviews

I had a good experience, except in the reservation. I have payed for a king rom but i stayed in a classic room. I had detect this diference when i have made the check out. I complained in curia hotel and the say that reservation was comunicated for a classic room. I hope that you could explain and give me a compensation for this reservation error. I hope hearing from you soon. Kind regards João

Very beautiful hotel that really manages to take us back 100 years in time. Magnificent spaces and a very good breakfast. However, there is one big drawback: the water in the shower did not heat up enough, which makes bathing unpleasant at this time of winter.

Beautiful historic building. Beautiful surroundings. Rooms are good but would like more comfort and cleanliness. Pillows were not very comfortable. Food selection in buffet is good.

It is important to clarify that the check-in time is 3 in the afternoon. We went earlier and we had to wait although the receptionist later told us that it could be 4 o'clock. The facilities were very nice and we didn't like the food very much. There are restaurants in the area that are more worth it. Breakfast quite good

Excellent service Everything as expected

I really liked the hotel

We stopped for refreshment. We had tea & coffee. No pastries or cake available so we opted for toast. I think they had run out of butter as well. We had to move as they were rearranging the furniture! I used the toilet. The less said the better. Smelly & dirty. After coffee we went for a walk in the grounds. HORROR - neglected birds in a long aviary. Kept in apalling conditions. A small paddock of deer lying down in their muddy feces. Bleating, crying. One chewing on dry stalks. We quickly left before becoming permanently emotionally scarred by this disgusting scene.

The pool area was closed for renovation and we were informed after booking. The rest of our experience was good. The room was large and clean, the staff were friendly. There was a conference happening when we were there so the main areas were very crowded. The restaurant was only serving a buffet that night. Not too much around for dinner options that is walkable, but we drove a few minutes and found a friendly place with a great back patio.

There was no working air conditioning, no working pool, or spa. The golf course was shut down about 5 years ago. Most of the photos are not accurate and misleading. We were supposed to stay for 3 days. We were so disappointed, we only stayed 1 day. This was false advertising at it's worse.

This stay in Curia Hotel, was actually in the ir of 2005 i believe. But still in my memories, I remember the grandiosity of the building, the very high floor and the space mixed with stories and te years give you peace just siting, and enjoy the surrenders. Nice services, nice staff, don’t lose de massages options and the restaurant if remember a good experience

I’m here right now and this is not a great hotel….the wifi is really bad, there is nowhere close by to grab a meal, the hotel has a very bad vibe, the wifi only works (barely) when the tv is on…the golf part of the hotel is non existent, pool is closed …I’d suggest you stay somewhere else as this nowhere close to any amenities

I travelled with my partner for a wedding in July 2022; we stayed for 3 nights. Arrival/Departure This was really smooth and the staff were friendly. Room We had a corner room that overlooked the pool and the drive. The air conditioning didn't work throughout our stay; we were told that it wasn't working in the entire hotel. Given that it was July, this was really disappointing and the room was stuffy. The double vanity in the bathroom was a nice addition. Food & Drink We only ate breakfast at the hotel; which was a simple but delicious buffet. We didn't eat dinner at the hotel as it seemed expensive. Location We stayed for a wedding; there isn't a huge amount in Curia but it's very charming. The building itself is so grand and there are lots of old photos and books on display which was interesting to see. Staff The hotel was short staffed but everyone was working really hard. Facilities and Entertainment We used the pool one morning, it was a little chilly. We were told the spa and the golf course were closed which was a shame. We enjoyed a few drinks in the hotel bar, this seemed reasonably priced for a hotel.

Amazing place to spend some quiet time. Great amenities, staff is wonderful, awesome restaurant and breakfast. Spa was closed. Bar restaurant had the best Americano ever. Outside setting area was awesome. Highly recommended.

The accommodation and room were good and comfortable. As for the worst restaurant, it will be impossible to find too bad. Dinner several pressures to schedule dinner and when the time was set, we checked that there was availability. Chanfana we all know that this dish is served very wet, cooked in a red wine marinade, served without a drop of sauce or cooked too long and heated in a microwave too dry. Inedible. Grilled octopus at most would have been served 100g per dose. It's too fibrous and hard, the only thing that got away with it was the wine, a reserve Esporão, one of the desserts, rice pudding, was like ice cream, really cold. We would never forget to eat again after this experience, not even for breakfast. Too bad and too expensive when you pay €40 per person without eating. Next we went to the town to eat some quality sandwiches.
