We enjoyed the historical ambiance of Solar do Castelo Inn and the special attention to things like some port at our bedside, a delicious breakfast, and a very nice sparkling wine on the patio in the evening. The peacocks are fun, and they did quiet down after dark. Furthermore, the location by the castle, actually part of the castle, is amazing and the museum in the cistern is very nice. As much as we enjoyed the visit, there were two things that kept me from giving a perfect rating. The first is that the historic location makes the hotel very difficult to access and when we tried to call to get a ride back up to the hotel after a day of sightseeing with our arms full of packages, we couldn't get anyone to answer the phone. The second was that the bed was very firm and even though the information said it could be adjusted, that didn't happen even after I requested it. In short, I think the hotel is great for historical ambiance and cultural inclusion, but not quite as good at comfort.
