A beautiful small hotel in a carefully restored ancient building from the 15º century. Perfectly located in the centre of Viana do Castelo. Friendly staff and efficient rooms and bathrooms. Parking is available (outside only) in a reserved space close to the station (ca. 100m). Breakfast is okay, buffet regularly filled up and good variety. A pity that the restaurant... More

Staff were helpful and the breakfasts were good. There are plenty of restaurants and a modern shopping centre close by with a cinema. Recommend hiring a car to explore... More

Renovated for use as a hotel in an imaginative, artistic way with lovely modern paintings and rugs and modern sculptures. The hotel is convenient to the train and bus terminals , near all shops and restaurants , and near the beautiful historic center. Besides... More
