Family friendly Hotels in Mealhada, Aveiro District

"Breakfast was excellent! Exceptional staff! Small pastry shop across the street had coffee available in the wee hours. A lot of small shops in the area were closed, so not a lot of tourist activity. Good walking shoes are a must for anywhere in Portugal! "

"Staff were amazing, and the history of the property! Gardens! Driveway! Incredibly kept well with so much effort that the gardeners, and supporting staff take to make this historic property open to us!"

"Nice hotel y great staff"

"room was clean and staff very friendly and helpful"

"Absolutely beautiful! Words cannot describe the opulence of this place. Rooms were clean, comfortable, but a bit dated (the blow dryer????) don’t pass up the opportunity to stay here. It’s a PALACE! Literally. The details in the decor, the grounds, the staff were amazing. Cannot say enough about this place. If you have the chance to stay, even for one night, DO IT! You won’t be disappointed. "

"Nuno, the Manager, was well versed in English, helpful, and knowledgeable about the area. He provided us good guidance to explore the hotspots in the area. I would not recommend driving through this area unless you are willing to accept a few surprises with the GPS and locating the various attractions, including your hotel! I would recommend walking within a 10 minute radius of this hotel to find and explore various restaurant choices for food. Don’t settle for the first one you see!There’s a beautiful 19th century castle within 15 minute driving range of this hotel. Highly recommend a visit quite a bit of interesting short hikes and springs and waterfalls around the palace. However, I wouldn’t recommend staying at the Palace hotel. Food there is pricey. And it is very secluded. Just get a couple of drinks or a sandwich at the palace hotel, which will allow me an opportunity to take some pictures of this architectural marvel! Highly recommend visiting the natural holy water, spring! Quite unique, and all of our travels are around the world! "

"Very comfortable beds no aircon but great windows to open for fresh mountain air. Bathroom needs a complete refurbishment very poor. "
