Hotel Dona Maria1 is one of our favourite pousadas. Each poussada tour will not be complete without visiting this hotel. The restaurant excites us every time we dine there. The room, the atmosphere, the personel, it is all perfect.

We stayed at the Pousada as part of our Son and Daughter-in-laws Wedding Celebrations and it was indeed a beautiful place with overall very attentive and friendly staff. Our only disappointment was that we were not informed on arrival that we needed to reserve tables for Dinner in the Restaurant and therefore had to arrange room service for the Honeymooners and their small child and wait until 10.30pm for the rest of our party who included two diabetics one of whom was 91yrs of age before we were able to obtain any seating in the Restaurant which by this time was coming to the end of service.

Place was very nice, great atmosphere. We had a bad surprise at billing time, when be booked the room we asked for half board treatment, well we eat for half board with a poar menu and then we had to pay for the dinners. They told, because an offert, the half board was included only for the first day, the other days was not included. Up to now I dont had any explanation on why, with a confirmed email with price and half board treatment, I required for booking, I had to pay that extras. I show the confirmation email to the reception but they dont care about that, they told me that I had to pay and that’s it. At the end I judge the check out so bad as was so nice was the stay.

We really enjoyed our 2 nights stay at this lovely poussada. The staff were most helpful and and the room was lovely. We were a little upset when we could not find the restaurant, and were told that it was across the main road in the Palace buildings. However the restaurant in the Old Kitchen was glorious and so was the food and service.

Queluz was so central for touring the area and I can certainly recommend this Poussada.

We stayed for 6 nights in early June 2011. We received a warm welcome and were offered a quiet, clean, comfortable, spacious, well appointed room on the ground floor. This was tidied and cleaned efficiently on request.

The restaurant adjoining the Palace was delightful and we very much enjoyed our first meal there.
Hotel staff were extremely helpful with maps, travel advice and local information.

We enjoyed our stay very much.

This was our first Pousada and the beginning of our stay in Portugal. Really enjoyed it, the welcoming was good,we were able to have coffee when we were waiting for our room. Dinner in the gorgeous dining room was amazing, worthed to stay and dine. They kept all the ancient elements and decoration. Rice pudding was awsome, we didn’t find any other pousada that had it. Thought it was one of their local dish….Worthed the stay.

We stayed at a number of Pousadas (Quelux, Condeixa, Viseu, Sagres) and at the first the receptionist was an exceptionally helpful person (my wife had had a fall and bent her glasses, she also advised about food and what to see in Coimbra). At Condeixa the reception was average, the food we had heard was not very good and the breakfast coffee and offerings matched that description; the Visu reception had difficulties with English and my wife’s Portugese though the gentleman there was very good and the person serving gluten-free charming. The reception at Sagres was not friendly at all and why pay extra for a view when the place is near empty? The food at Sagres was average though the breakfast very good.
Back to Quelux for superb people, food and explanations

Everything was at its best at the Pusada in Queluz or we would not have stayed there alredy 4 times and we will be back there in Sept. 2011. We visited the Palacio de Queluz across the street. The Palacio and the gardens were great.
