Palácio Ludovice Wine Experience Hotel
Perfect location, beautiful king size rooms, amazing and friendly staff . The only thing I would improve is their gym. It is very basic and not many weights.

Good location. Very clean. A list of local places to buy groceries and getting around would’ve been very helpful. The beds were not very comfortable, but fine. Great shower and kitchen amenities.
