Hotel di Miranda do Corvo

Dear Duecitania owners, Your hotel is magnificent and I LOVE it. The architecture, the details, the workmanship are superb. Your natural pool and surroundings are stunning, and, very importantly, your staff are lovely, nice, helpful. Ah yeah, also the spa! Unfortunately, you need to look for another chef and another maintenance manager. Why change them? Because food and hospitality require love: love of taste, love of detail, love of choice, love of attention to detail. Because maintenance needs love for things that work, are clean, have square angles where required. And the love is lacking in the food and in the maintenance. 1. We arrive in our room on the 3rd floor; the wifi is abysmal, the fridge does not work, the water pressure is miserable, and the towel racks need to be tightened and squared up. And in the spa, the barrier to walk down into the jacuzzi must be put back in, the sauna and the vienne shower are still not working since last time we came. Also, can men with long feet have appropriate slippers? Your maintenance manager (if you have one) does not walk around looking at what works and does not work. And does not teach your staff to do the same and tell him or her “hey the towel rack in room 314 needs tightening “. There is no love. 2. For a place like the Duecitania, the menu is really poor. And the quality of the food average. The cheeses/sausages in the mixed platter do not honour the richness available in Portugal, the chicken in the (very small) Cesar salad is sad and dry. The bread of the hamburgers equals in quality what is found at McDo. When we arrive at breakfast, there is no brown bread. Yes, it comes just later. But why do we have to wait? Same with the bacon.. arrives later. And why have to ask the staff to cut the grapes bunches into manageable sizes? Here as well, the chef does not care and does not teach the staff how a well managed restaurant runs. No love. So, please, get your act together. It is not difficult, if you have the love.

I'd like to say that this hotel has been one of the most pleasant surprises I've had in a while. This was a last minute decision, as I wanted to take a few days of with my wife. We were looking for a place to relax, but at the same time we wanted to explore and hike. Well, the surrounding mountains were breathtaking, the historical shist villages, the waterfalls, the river affluents, and the magical castle of Lousã gave us all the outdoor experiences we were looking for. The hotel itself, amazing ! We stayed in the new area, the bedroom was very spacious, the bed was super comfortable, the bathroom was great too, the TV, well a bit outdated to be honest. The restaurant - Wow ! The breakfast - Wow ! The indoor pool and Spa, very good. As to the staff. Warm Kind Welcoming Polite. I'd like to say that Dona Laura that helped us during breakfast deserves a raise. Thank you for the very nice stay you've provided us.

The hotel is one of the lovliest I have ever been in Portugal (25 visits). Very unique, has a history and lovely drcorated. The gardens are great to stroll and the entire atmosphere is suberb. Rooms are comfortable and the meals are tasty. I did not give it 5 points due to 2 unprofessional acts that were made by the hotel. A suitcase of one of my travelers was missing and apparently was found a day later in a wrong room - The hotel has not find a way to express apology. The same traveler forgot shoes in her room that were found by the hotel but they never let us know that they found it ( for 5 days). In spite of that the hotel is highly recommended

Nice, big hotel with great views over Coimbra. This hotel is situated on a hill a little out of town. Our room was medium size with a K Size bed and a good sized bathroom. We stayed at this hotel as part of our tour with a group. Bathroom had a shower over the bath. No tea/coffee making facilities. Safe in the room. At night we could hear a lot of noise coming from music down below the hotel and other noisy guests in the passage ways. We had dinner at the hotel but found there were not enough staff to cater for the group ordering drinks. We were also unable to go to the bar to get a drink as it was not staffed.

The hotel is standard ibis. Staff is nice and speak English. Bar is open 24 hours. Parking is €8. Right now, there is construction by the river blocking views. Staff is great…. I left my purse in the bar, and they called the room to tell me and say they’d keep it at reception. They also helped with map and recommendations for restaurants.

Beautiful historic hotel, comfy rooms, clean, quiet, fast hot water, loved the elevator, perfect location, nice breakfast, delicious coffee. The highlight was how helpful Louisa was with our confusing issue with the trains going on strike. She immediately researched our journey and found us solutions. I was amazing and will be forever grateful! From the moment I explained our predicament she went above and beyond to help us. The hotel alone was fabulous but Louisa is the diamond in this palace!

Hotel is by beach . Room is big and clean. Breakfast is very good. The supermarket is in next door. The town Sitio near Nazare is on the cliffs. The views are very beautiful and looks down the beach and town. It worths the visit. The parking on the hilltop is limited but if you go there early , you are still able to find place to park. The receptionist is very good and helpful. When I arrived at the hotel in the evening, I found flat tire. The young guy worked at the front desk helped me to call the rental car company to solve the problem. I definitely recommend this hotel to friends.

This is a lovely old palace. The rooms are big and visually comfortable, and the bed is huge. The area around is lovely so why not a good experience? The the building outside looks perfect and the common areas look good too, but the room smells really bad of old and dusty carpets and we couldn’t leave the windows open because the road in front is noisy with fast cars passing by. There is no insonorization between rooms and with the corridor. We woke up with our neighbours in the room in front of ours. Definitely not a 4 star in that regard. The bathroom is nice and it has 4 star perks but smells terribly do to lack of pipe sanitation. It’s not just charmingly old, it really smells bad. The woods are splitting and it looks like the building was renovated in the 1990s. We were quite happy to be there because it’s really a lovely palace located in a beautiful area but we couldn’t rest properly. They are charging too much for what is being offered.

Большой номер с очень удобной постелью , завтрака могли бы быть вкуснее. В номере не хватает тапочек
