Curia Palace Hotel & Spa

The bedroom was very well presented, the breakfast and dinner were amazing. The buffet is exquisite . The staff is very professional and friendly

Curia Palace Hotel is a 100 Years old hotel famous for Curia Spa and Waters. Here you will find a bucolic and romantic place to stay with the possibility to time travel to 1940. Don't expect to find modern amenities or fancy modern decoration. You will have the possibilty to see what was life when people had the time to enjoy leisure and fun, without technology. It sure will be something to remember on your trips.

The overall peaceful and restful atmosphere was exactly what we were hoping for. The building itself is a smooth trip through time. The pool is large and comfortable to use, even when the pool area is crowded. The staff are extremely accommodating and were attentive to details, trying to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.

I did not use pool and spa this time. The pool is outside and looks pretty good. There is also a tennis court. The hotel belongs to the "noveaux art" category of hotels. This hotel started business in 1927 by the hand and mind of a visionary man named Alexandre Almeida, who can be considered a pioneer in this business in Portugal. The breakfast is very good as well... the environment and the music in background filled in my soul. It was a very special for me and my wife. The village is very peaceful and is located in the region called Bairrada. The food is supreme in this region. e can also walking, running, and cycling around there. This hotel remains in the Almeida family, who has other emblematic hotels in the country, including the one in Bussaco, another charming place in the Bairrada region.

This is a charm hotel, with almost 100y, a time capsule designed to make us travel, rest and break all the stress. I think going on less busy days increase the rest, since can be busy at weekends.
