"Corpo Santo was by far the best hotel I have stayed at, and I have stayed at many five star hotels. I cannot gush enough about how much I enjoyed the amenities the hotel offered. The room was comfortable and provided a “pillow menu.” Mini bar drinks were included. The shower had unique lighting with accompanying relaxing soft music. Turndown service and cushiony slippers were provided.
A hot tub, sauna, and Turkish bath were available to guests as well. A beautiful and unique sitting area was available below ground that showcased an ancient foundation uncovered during the construction of the hotel.
But the best parts were the plentiful snacks provided at all hours, the excellent restaurant, and the complimentary activities. There was a free two hour walking tour each day with a knowledgeable hotel employee (Sergio) who rivaled any tour company. In the afternoon, I participated in wine tastings, a gin tasting, cheese tastings, and a chef demonstration in the kitchen of salmon preparation with a tasting. There was a cocktail hour in the lobby every day with a cocktail of the day and appetizers.
The breakfast that was included in our stay was phenomenal. The breakfast was not a buffet but rather attentive table service with plentiful options. They served the best Eggs Benedict I ever tasted. All of the delicious breakfast offerings exceeded expectations.
The dinner at the restaurant was outstanding as well and we received a discount as hotel guests.
On our last day when we had to leave before breakfast, the hotel packed us a delicious breakfast with juice, yogurt, fruit, a sandwich, bread, and chocolate mousse, even though there was breakfast in the lobby. The hotel staff were so generous, attentive, and kind. We enjoyed meeting other guests at the hotel during activities. So much was included in our stay and we were thoroughly comfortable and entertained.
I was sorry to leave but look forward to returning to Lisbon just to stay at Corpo Santo again. Thank you to the hotel staff for a memorable vacation!"
