Castelo de Óbidos, Obidos

Fun night in a castle, but with modern amenities. It is not a normal hotel, so prepare yourself, but the grounds and the town make up for loosing out on some of the creature comforts we are used to from similarly priced hotels that aren't castles. The breakfast spot had everything you could want and then some and couldn't have prettier views or nicer staff. The rooms in the castle are private and quaint and offer some exclusive views only to hotel guests. We woke up ate breakfast, walked as much of the wall as was possible - which is a lot, and then hit the road for the next leg of our trip.

You will be staying in a castle. If you want the experience it is worth it. It is not a good option for those with limited mobility, but if you can walk up a good bit of stone stairs you will be delighted with the accomodations and the friendly staff. Also of note our room was a bit musty smelling.

The castle restaurant is very promising as it is set in a beautiful setting. However, I have to say that as a family with two small kids we were utterly dissapointed. We always upon every entry into a restaurant whether it is kids friendly, and this one had a sticker and baby chairs right at the entrance. However, one of our babies vomited after eating soup and noone, literally noone helped whatsoever. I am not sure what happened to this world and people and employees in general, but we cleaned our table, paid the bill and left. We didn't even manage to try our served plates nor did anymore offer to wrap them up. We are really dissapointed and Pestana hotels are no longer on our list. The brand does not deserve it's respect. Not to say that we changed our smaller kid on the bathroom floor! There is nothing to facilitate you there, so stay away if possible. The only thing Pestana doesn't understand that small people grow too and they will not be recommended to go to such places.

Charming location, but I missed some of the comforts such as extra blankets and tea making facilities in the room. Also, there is no bar or coffee area to get refreshments outside of mealtimes. Pack light as you'll have to carry your luggage from the car park

Just amazing, the castle with its fantastic dining room the views and the food. And also the room where perfect
