Castro Verde Royal Basilica of Castro Verde Hotels

"Very good indeed"

"Perfect for our needs."

"My stay here was the perfect finale to wind down from an extensive road trip of Lisbon, Nazare, Aveiro and Porto. The grounds, lobby and room exceeded my expectations. Staff was friendly and welcoming. My room, all on 1st floor, was sparkling clean with a view of olive trees. Mini fridge partially stocked with plenty of extra room. Air conditioned as well. Nespresso coffee maker available by request. On site restaurant and bar well appointed with excellent cuisine. I enjoyed a massage at the on property spa. Play area for kid's including kids swimming pool. Indoor and outdoor pool for adults. Stable of horses available to ride. Free winery tour with tastings was my favorite. Of course i purchased a case of their wine. Walking trails also. Set amongst green rolling hills. Come and enjoy."

"Wonderful stay. Thank you for hosting us. "

"What an idyll in the middle of nowhere seemingly. Perfect for a quiet and relaxing get away from it all holiday. Perched on its own hill this accommodation looks over the surrounding area onto olive groves, sheep and to Ourique in the distance. But this doesn’t mean there is nothing to do. Ourique, a 10 -15 minute drive away has supermarkets and restaurants and the coast, with less crowded beaches than the Algarve, is only 45 minutes west (by car). The accommodation is wonderful with a kitchen that has every utensil you might need, three large double bedrooms (two with aircon - which we did need at times as the thermometer topped into the 40s) and a comfortable lounge and mezzanine. Outside the kidney shaped pool was clean and very refreshing and the surrounding poolside had beds for all to relax on. The hosts appeared twice a week to clean the pool so it was always delightful. Bikes are available for use and a table tennis table. Clear skies at night to watch the Milky Way and shooting stars. What a great break. Wonderful helpful owners with useful suggestions for restaurants and places to visit."
