Pousada Castelo De Óbidos - Historic Hotel

Iconic, fantastic spot, a very special time.

It was a bit scary driving up there.

unique experience

one should understand that the room is basic, its the stay in the castle that makes the difference

The breakfast was good. The staff extremely friendly and helpful

Getting there - the main entrance was closed so we had to drive through the town, very narrow, busy streets and difficult to find. We did however have excellent help from Luis who came out to save us! We were not able to book the restaurant for dinner.

This was a dream stay. Who has not had a fantasy of living in a castle? We booked long in advance to assure a room high in the castle. We were in a room at the parapet level with a private balcony on a small out pocket of the castle. A truly amazing spot. The staff gave great assistance since we drove up narrow roadways designed for horses. They could not have done more to make our visit exceptional. Of course a room in the castle is expensive but once in a lifetime it was worth it. The room of the top ranking officer is spartan by star ratings, but this room had a special quality not found anywhere..
