Penalva de Alva Hotels with Airport pickup service

My bad review about this place is not about the service, the rooms, or the location. It is about something far more serious: food poisoning and contamination with SALMONELLA and E. COLI. I had the pleasure of staying at the hotel spa without leaving due to its remote location (I mention this because I had lunch and dinner at Aqua Village). For dinner, I had wild boar from the menu and gave my daughter a bite to try. To my surprise, we spent the entire night vomiting and had diarrhea the next day. When I checked out, I informed the front desk, and they apologized. Last week, I was diagnosed with Salmonella and E. coli, and since then, the diarrhea has not stopped. This was the only incident where I felt unwell. My biggest issue with them is that my ex-wife contacted them by email explaining what happened, and they played like it wasn't there where I had the problem. I find this VERY SERIOUS and am writing this so future customers are aware of this and AVOID EATING THERE because if something happens to you, the management will blame it on somebody else instead of taking actions. There are other dining options in the area that are likely to be more responsible regarding such a DELICATE MATTER. Avoid eating here.

The location of this hotel is very remote, more than 70 kilometers from the University of Coimbra, driving more than an hour. Don't decide if you don't have a car. The scenery on the road is still good. The hotel was converted from a monastery. In a very remote town, the hotel has a swimming pool and a vineyard. Breakfast is still OK. After the check-in, the front desk can help arrange dinner. The service staff took us on a tour of the hotel and there was a small church inside. The overall is good, it is far.

We stayed here because we heard that the spa was interesting. And it is -it's presented in a fun way with caves and pools and very good saunas, steam rooms and showers, though it has more of a fun holiday atmosphere than a truly restorative 'serious' Spa. We stayed at the hotel and the room was comfortable. Most if the staff were friendly, and the quality of the food was great, the buffet breakfast deserves a special mention because there is EVERYTHING on offer - really excellent. Tarnishing the experience a bit was the fact that we met one waiter who essentially flounced off because we said we couldn't speak Portuguese, and could be heard mockingly (and quite loudly) echoing us by saying 'we don't speak Portuguese' to his colleague. The colleague then dutifully came over and served us very politely and pleasantly in English, but we were left feeling a bit unwanted and out of place to be honest -its simply nit feasible to speak every language! So, a bit of a mixed bag but definitely worth a try if you're in the area.

Hotel in the centre of Seia with large parking and good breakfast. A good starting point to the natural beauties of the Serra Estrela Natural Park. Big room (take one on the 4th floor with a view of the valley), ok bathroom (bad was a little bit rusty and could use some renovation). No restaurants close to the hotel, just fast food options. We ate in Manteigas on our road trip through the glacier valley - cheap and tasty.

Tenho profundas ligações familiares a esta zona do país (Viseu/Mangualde/Nelas), e talvez por isso, procure desde há muitos anos, o Hotel da Felgueira para descansar e usufruir das termas que funcionam muito bem. O enquadramento do hotel é muito agradável e a piscina uma mais valia, mas considero uma falha grave que não se tenham lembrado ainda de construir umas pequenas escadas ou rampa de acesso à água. Pior ainda... Nem mesmo nas escadas que conduzem à zona do bar e piscina existe um corrimão! Lembro aqui, a dificuldade de locomoção sentida por boa parte dos hóspedes e a idade de muitos dos que frequentam esta unidade hoteleira. Há uma outra questão que gostaria de apontar, refiro-me à falta de qualquer tipo de atração por simples que fosse (pelo menos) às Sextas e Sábados à noite. Já houve tempo em que presentearam os hóspedes com um ”mimo” do género e não tenho dúvidas que essa seria uma boa aposta da administração do hotel. Para terminar, quero realçar o conforto dos quartos, e o esforço desenvolvido na recuperação e melhoramento de muitos deles. Quero ainda enaltecer o profissionalismo e simpatia de todos quantos trabalham neste hotel, desde o serviço de limpeza aos empregados de mesa e ao atendimento na recepção.

A wonderful hotel even in these trying COVID times. Check-in was seamless, the staff could notava-se been more friendly and courteous. Room was clean and spacious. We even got to enjoy the lovely indoor swimming pool. The food at the restaurant was top notch. The overall aspect, service and meals, I would day, are comparable to any of the finest Portuguese pousadas but at a more reasonable price. Also, the location, in the highest Portuguese village in the Serra da Estrela was magnificent. Crisp, clean mountain air. No snow-capped mountains this time but still beautiful surroundings. We highly recommend this gem of a hotel in a picture postcard setting
