Lovely hotel in the plaza with good size room. Breakfast was lovely downstairs and also tables outside. A little challenging to find the location as it is in the plaza so taxi drivers will drop you outside the plaza. The sign is small on the hotel. Very friendly staff.

What a beautiful hotel! Impeccably renovated from a former palace. The rooms are the perfect combination of modern and historic. The staff are very helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. They also provide one the best breakfast buffets that I have experienced. The location is right off the main plaza with many small shops and restaurants within walking distance. I highly recommend this hotel and can’t wait to stay here again!

Lovely breakfast in a Pousada at the main square

We enjoyed our stay and the breakfast was lovely. It is in the main square of the city and many restaurants and shops nearby. The two swimming pools were only opened 10-19 even if they said that they could keep them open longer, we were however not so interested in the swimming pools, quite small and too hot in the sun.

Wonderful hotel and lovely staff

Wonderful 3 night stay in this really lovely wee hotel. From the moment we walked through the door the staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. We had a superior room with large balcony and sunbeds. Bed was super comfy and shower was great. Breakfast had a good selection of cold and hot buffet items. Hotel is also in a lovely location right on the main square and has a plunge pool on roof top with lovely views. Can highly recommend and will definitely book if back in Vila Real DSA.

A perfect stay.

The location was perfect - right on the square. Parking is free, but less than a five minute walk due to the hotel being in a historic area with no street parking. From the minute we walked in we were greeted by exceptionally friendly staff who couldn’t do more to make our stay enjoyable. The room was beautiful and comfortable with many small touches that made our stay absolutely wonderful. I only wish we would have booked two nights instead of one!

Trendi decor, clean and fresh and good location. Staff was friendly and the room was nice but I found the bed a bit too hard (but that is very personal). Breakfast could be better in my opinion, not so much variety of breads, neither cheeses or yogurts and the hot food that had to be ordered came cold to the table.
