We stayed here on April 28, 2013. I had very much looked forward to this lodging since it occupies the inside of an old fort. The literature says this is one of the finest hotels in Portugal. It wasn’t even close to the finest that we stayed at on our 3-week trip to Portugal. In fact, it was near the... More

This is the first time we had ever stayed in a hotel in Chaves. We usually stay with family. I was pleasantly surprised with the accommodations at the Forte and would recommend this hotel. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Staff (when available) were helpful and courteous. Perks were free wi-fi, breakfast included and a beautiful pool! The Forte is well... More

The Forte (Fort) was built in 1668 to defend the region and prevent occupation from Léon (Spain). It is now a 4 Star Hotel situated in the historical district of Chaves, very close to the Chaves' Castle and bridge Trajano. Has two Restaurants, the "Taverna Tipica" specialized in regional cusine and the "Cozinha do Convento" overlooking the garden. Besides the... More

It's beautiful and very comfortable hotel is situated in the centre of Chaves so 10 minutes far from centre historical. It'a beautiful, comfortable and clean. Has the big swimming pool and with all this it's placed in the Fort of the 17th century. I'm absolutely sure that it's the best option for Chaves!

We stayed here on the first night of our honeymoon, on the romantic package, which included champagne and strawberries in the room, late check out, complimentary drink on arrival and breakfast, 120 Euros. We had a lovey big room overlooking the courtyard, enormous very comfortable double bed, the most wonderful soft rug (wierd thing to comment maybe, but it really... More

We found this hotel by coincidence and decided to have lunch there. Although it seems rather up-market, our lunch was incredibly good value for money. The pool also looked nice. We were surprised the restaurant was almost empty - don`t be put off by it!

A really elegantly restored convent with it's own private chapel.The staff were charming and helpful. The town of Chaves does not really have much to offer so one night here is plenty. We ate in the restaurant, which was beautifully decorated however, dinner was a bit ordinary. Originally when we asked for the wine list the waitress told us that... More

It is a very nice hotel, situated near the city center. It is an ancient fortress, adapted to a modern hotel. It is very well decorated and the staff is very friendly. The surroundings are very nice and it is easy and safe to walk around the hotel. Unfortunately I was there for business, not for pleasure, so I could... More

The hotel was perfectly managed, clean neat and quiet. And the restaurant, although too formal for my taste, was great too.We were served a complimentary platter of melon, serrano ham and cheese, which would almost have been enough for a meal on its own. Our main course was duck breast with citrus cream sauce for two, with boiled potatoes we... More
