Last week I already shared what I brought back from this Parador but I promised to show some pictures of the hotel itself:
The stone staircase to the lobby.
The inside patio.
A view from the back garden.
A pond full of water lilies.
A larger pond with a swan.
In fact there were two swans, one was a bit more aggressive than the other (the hubby almost lost his fingers when feeding them some bread crumbs).
A ballroom with a piano and a huge fireplace.
The Japanese room.
The portrait room.
The old kitchen that is now only used for wine & food tastings and workshops.
A huge clockwork that occupied two stories (the pendulums went all the way down to the previous one).
Our bedroom: the bed was huge and high up, I almost needed a staircase to climb on it.
And we were upgraded to a junior suite (I'm still not sure why?) so we had a sitting room that we never got to use.
There still was much, much more to visit, so if you've liked the hotel so far I'd recommend you pay it a visit if you're ever in the area. The town is called Penalva do Castelo in Portugal.
