Visual feast !!! is just a part of entire impression. This place is delivering amazing experience as well as creating unforgetable memories. Get your senses ready … Telling too much may spoil a mysterious charakter of this „rabbit hole”. „Alice, You have to decide, whether to get in or not”.

Lovely hotel and lovely conference rooms! Each room in the castle has its own personality, and this is refreshing to experience! Animals all around and the perfect place to host an offsite! Lovely staff and food as well

Best experience ever! The hotel is one off a kind, the decor and design off every room is unique, where ever you look something new catches the eye. The restaurant and food was great both dinner and breakfast

Meal was Good but loads of salt flakes on most things which was a shame as otherwise would have been good food. Place really quirky but I felt the owners were forcing their ‘ cool dream’ on customers. Breakfast a choice of 6 things that were fatty and sugary mostly, bar melon. Lack of choice and my wife left hungry as she couldn’t eat anything but the melon. Beds comfy though which was good .

Sé Catedral (Cathedral of Lisbon)

The Cathedral of Saint Mary Major, often called Lisbon Cathedral or simply the Sé, is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in Lisbon, Portugal. The oldest church in the city, it is the seat of the Patriarchate of Lisbon. The cathedral has survived many earthquakes and has been modified, renovated and restored several times. It is nowadays a mix of different architectural styles. 

The site where it stands was the principal mosque of Lisbon when it was an Arab settlement. The construction of the cathedral started around 1150, three years after the city was conquered from the Moors during the Second Crusade. Shortly after the victory the English knight Gilbert of Hastings was named bishop of the city of Lisbon.

One good reason to visit the Cathedral is to visit its charming cloisters located in the back. There are several tombs in the cathedral, the most notable of which is the beautifully sculpted tomb of Lopo Fernandes Pacheco and his wife.
