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!

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.

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.

A great find!

Really loved this place. Beautifully situated and great room. Tasty and diverse breakfast. The staff were all lovely and spoke wonderful English. Marianna stood out as being really helpful and flexible regarding a small issue about which room we had booked. She could not have been more professional, friendly and helpful! Thanks so much!

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!

A fancy scam. Unfortunately and disappointingly we had to cancel our reservation after the first night. Despite booking a superior room we were given a standard room which is in another building rather than the one advertised. The hotel doesn’t mention anywhere that there are two buildings. Management and staff tried to lie that our assigned room was a "superior" room - very rude and disrespectful. Do yourself a favour and avoid this hotel.
