Usually located on the outskirts of a city the Portugal castle
hotels are some of the top destinations in Europe. Most of these
castles were built in defense from the Moors and the Spaniards
way back in 13th century.
Visiting a castle hotel in Portugal will give you a feeling that
you are in the 13th century because these castles have hardly
been modified and therefore the architecture is the same as it
was when the castle was constructed. Rooms will be clean and you
will find traditional Portuguese décor in the rooms.
Some people might question about being on the outskirts of a
city that they may face some transportation problems, but to clear
their doubts I must mention that these castles have adequate transportation
facilities and also the public transport in Portugal is very well
spread out and will help you to reach any part of the country.
The Portuguese castle hotels are very well equipped to host marriages
and engagements as well. Palace Hotel do Bussaco is one of the
best known castle hotels of Portugal which is located in Luso,
Beira. This castle hotel has a magnificent location and at the
same time it is fairly cheap.
There are others like Forte de São Francisco, Pousada
de Alvito, Pousada de Palmela, Pousada de Vila Nova de Cerveira--Dom
Dinis, Pousada de Óbidos, Pousada de Crato--Flor da Rosa
etc. Most of these hotels are located in Alentejo or in Lisbon.
The hotel staff will provide you with excellent service which
you will relish.
The rent of each castle may vary and this completely depends
on your budget the type of castle you want to choose. These castle
hotels have an excellent view and are built in acres of land.
One can enjoy indoor and outdoor activities like playing various
games, gym, spa etc. I am sure if you are here for a holiday with
your family, you will enjoy your stay in these castle hotels.
The best part of these castle hotels is that they include breakfast
along with your stay. So be prepared to have bread, cheese, cold
meats, juices, fruits in your breakfast buffet. Communicating
with the hotel staff might be a bit of problem with you because
mostly people speak Portuguese, however some of them understand
English.
To be on the safer side it's always advised to learn a bit of
Portuguese before you visit Portugal because it will then be a
lot easier for you to communicate with the people there.
