The location of this pousada-hotel allows for easy access to the real summer palace of Portuguese royalty across the cobbled street. The palace is well worth a visit and don't miss walking around the grounds. It is also a convenient drive to the nearby fairytale area of Sintra. The hotel itself offers comfortable very high-ceiling rooms with very historic tall... More

This was our first stay in a Pousada and a great way to begin. We were given an excellent ground floor room. The building is the original guard's quarters for the Palace, which is across the road. A visit there is well worthwhile to see both the Palace interior and the gardens. At least one dinner shlould be enjoyed in... More

Having stayed in an excellent pousada in Tavira we thought all pousada's would be of a similar standard, sadly they are not. Despite the grand name and being formerly part of the palace this pousada is in need of a refurbishment and the staff give the minimum required, in contrast to Tavira where you are greeted with a big smile...

We had booked a suite which was excellent value considering the size and fittings , good view over to the main palace buildings , on arrival we received a complimentary bottle of Sparkling wine, a plate of fresh fruit each and a selection...

The Pousada is excellent. Friendly staff provide a warm welcome, and couldn't be more helpful. Our comfortable room (great beds), at the end of the top floor corridor, provided good views to the army barracks at the rear, and a sideways view of the Dona Maria Pavillion from the other side (two walls had windows). The windows had original features... More

We stayed here for one night in May 2010, but shortage of time meant that we needed to revisit the area and stay for two nights. As usual, the standards were high. We had a room at the back (201) which was very quiet except for the persistent hum of some equipment in the room next door. The mini-bar was... More

We stayed here with our three children (13,11,9). The Pousada is easy to find (across the street from the palace) and parking is easy (large parking lot in front of the Pousada) Rooms are clean and have a great atmosphere. Staff is nice and very helpfull. Only downside is the road right in front of the Pousada (ask for a... More

We stayed al the Pousada Dona Maria I recently and there is only one word yo describe our staying: wonderful. The pausada is located just in face of the royal palace and in fact is obtained by the rooms once used by the chambermaids. The rooms are reasonably large while the window is quite small (but still enough to enlighten... More

This pousada is located just in front of the ancient royal palace of Queluz.- Staying here is look like staying just in the palace, (it was infact a part of that) The rooms are cozy and very clean, the hall is baroch and very comfortable. In the night the atmosphere is simply like a dream. A special note for the... More
