The dinning room, banquet/ breakfast room are in another building. The dining room is perched like a huge greenhouse on top of this walled town with fabulous views across the Minho to Spain. 08/08 mp Some of the rooms and suites have their own courtyards, all within the Palace walls, giving you the impression of being in a small private village.
