Beautiful and quiet. A truly relaxing stay. The grounds were spectacular and the staff were friendly and welcoming. We hope to be back again soon.
Susan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay at Casa da Insua was a dream! The property is just stunning, with the vast gardens, vineyards, a pool, and even sheep grazing! The interior of the castle is its very own museum, with plenty of rooms and halls to explore. Our room was the perfect combination of historic charm and modern hotel luxury. We would recommend doing the wine tasting in one of the historic kitchens with Diogo, who was excellent! Our stay was one to remember.
Jessica, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Cleanliness was excellent. Would be helpful to have English written wherever Spanish is written. Service was catered to the Spanish guests. Overall I would give this hotel an 8.

Fairytales are real!
I was there for a friend's wedding, but took some extra days - it was so tranquil and special staying in a "castle". I'm definitely going back, since I didn't have time this trip to take advantage of the wine & cheese tastings, among other things. From the minute I entered the gates I felt like a princess and understood completely why my friend had chosen to have her wedding here.
Evelyn, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

very disappointing!
1. the rooms are naked and very uncomfortable! no mirror, no coffee machine, no cups, etc. bathroom isn’t comfortable at all! 2. we paid quite high price, and didn’t get value for our money.

Un parador excelente. Habitaciones amplias personal muy amable. La zona exterior preciosa para descansar y visitar, La casa tiene unos salones preciosos. Lo que menos me gusto el desayuno, muy caro para lo que es, no tienen variedad de cosas y de caliente solo huevos fritos, pero últimamente viene siendo la tónica en general de todos los paradores. Sólo hay enbutidos baratos y unos bienos quesos de la zona, algo de fruta y algo de bolleria.

Deux points très négatifs. Chambre : bruit au niveau du circuit de clim et impossible à arrêter extrêmement bruyant empêchant de dormir. J'avais promis à ma femme une nuit de rêve en 5 étoiles ce fut le calvaire... On est mal tombé, public essentiellement espagnol avec des enfants et très bruyant. Côté positif : Accueil très agréable, cadre agréable et atypique (le côté musée est attrayant) Piscine correcte. Dommage qu'il n'y ai pas un bar à cocktails digne de ce nom.

El sitio es realmente precioso lo que al local le falta mas encanto, cuando llegas al anochecer hay muy poca iluminacion en la recepcion y el comedor todo marron oscuro y una decoracion muy sobria incluso la zona que da al comedor de noche podria estar con un poco de iluminacion Pero el personal y la estancia muy bien

“Great” A place worth staying
Parador casa da insua was a great place to stay after visiting Aveiro, and onto Porto. The room, garden and the castle are very well maintained and in excellent condition. However, the check in and out took over 1 hour with a person ahead of us. The staff was extremely slow. There are very limited options for restaurants or grocery stores nearby. The gym is very poorly equipped. Wi-Fi connection was not reliable.
