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.

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.

“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.

Very comfortable and historically interesting.

Great bones. Missing written information about the lineage of ownership and history of this very elegant castle.

Great service. Wonderful wondering around grounds and in buildings. Gardens need work.

Hidden Treasure

Decided on 2 nights stay at this location. Did not know about it previously, Found it on Hotels.com. It sounded great. It was great. The whole atmosphere was great and steeped in history. The gardens and grounds were great to stroll around in. We booked the standard room which was very nice and clean. Bed was a little firmer that we would have liked, but still managed to sleep well there. Its best feature has to be its restaurant. We dined there on 2 nights and each of them were totally outstanding. Pricy by regular standards, but you don't get regular standard service and food. Great value for a Michelin Star which it was. It was terrific. We had the best white wine we ever had, that was produced on location there. If you want to just get away from it all, and have time for yourself, or as a couple, go, you will not regret it. If you get tired of the hotel, take a wander outside the gate and you will find a little local bar where you can get a glass of wine for fifty cents.
We did not get to see the cheese or wine making as its closed at weekends. So we made up for it by sampling generously.
