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.
