Vila Vicosa Hotels

"Good place to stay with dogs, lovely park nearby."

"Nice room, friendly staff. Parking on square nearby was no problem. Breakfast only as from 8.30."

"Breakfast was awesome , cleanliness and facilities . If you are traveling with a pet , even if they are a Pet Friendly Hotel , you have to contact the hotel directly to verify if they have pet friendly rooms available . We were lucky they have one at the time of the check in , but indicating that on Expedia, was not enough ."

"Overall this is a beautiful property with the potential to be a wonderful resort, but they just aren’t sure yet what they want to be. They advertise as a tranquil, quiet escape, but they also cater to families. While we were there the place was completely overrun with screaming children. And inattentive parents. There was no where to go on property that was peaceful or quiet, including the spa, They have rules for kids (limited hours in the pool) but they are not enforced so it was difficult, (impossible) for adults to use the pool. The lobby bar area was overrun with families on Saturday night so there was no where to go to have an adult dinner (the dining room was full with families and kids running around). I love kids, but was looking for a peaceful two day getaway. I hope they can figure out a way to accommodate everyone on this lovely property."

"An administrative nightmare. I booked rooms through Expedia and twice sent a rooming list direct to the hotel (which was acknowledged) with all guest details and room allocations, however the information was not entered into their system and when my colleagues arrived late (we were competing on Portugal Rally so technicians, engineers working into the night) they were told there were not enough rooms. Colleagues had to share 3 to a room when accommodation had been booked and paid for well in advance and my contact details had been shared several times. I tried to sort this out the following morning, in person at the hotel reception, which was a difficult process and still not successful. I would not recommend the hotel for a business group booking, they don't have the resource to cope with the booking process and it caused a lot of issues."

"It was lovely and memorable and we truly enjoyed our stay and visit. The property's location is amazingly breathtaking, the staff attentive and professional and the food was wonderful. The breakfast buffet provided a variety of delicious bites for a diverse palate. Strolling or driving around the town was fun with something amazing to discover at every corner. Although the heating system didn't work too well and the windows weren't able to close efficiently, it was expected and managed by drawing the curtains closed. The room had some dust and cobwebs along corners, window sills etc., but it's a historical place, so again, expected. The bed was very comfortable and there was ample space for storage. We wished we stayed a few more days because it was worth the experience. The views from the room were magnificent. A bottle of wine was provided and that made for a sweet souvenir. Thank you Pousada Castelo de Estremoz for an unforgettable accommodation. "

"Really good experience"

"Everything was perfect "

"It is advertised with two restaurants, one a cafeteria. After a long hard drive from Santander to Badajoz. On arriving my partner tried to check is both in having to compete two ridiculously long forms, never having to do so before. I was seated as l am disabled they needed my signature. On here return to the desk, the clerk dicided to check in a goup of six. NOT impressed. On asking what time the restaurant was serving dinner the answer was it's closed. No expliction or apology. Use the cafeteria only to find it was in the adjoining service station. Again NOT impressed. At breakfast there was a container for hot food in which Nothing appeared in the 45 minutes we were there poor selection with over ripe bananas on disply. "
