"Small family-run hotel located at a small village. Very well maintained. Room was really comfortable, and breakfast was delicious. It is also conveniently located very close to the PR7 hiking trail. Other highlights of the region, such as Ponte Arouca, are within a 45 minutes radius. I waa happy to stay there. Just beware that there is no restaurant in the hotel nor within walking distance, and neither a supermarket nearby."

Top Candal Hotel Reviews

Portovella

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay, amazing views, great value, fully equipped bungalows, and awesome shower facilities. Breakfast is served in your bungalow every day, at a time you choose. The staff are friendly and helpful; note that reception isn't open 24 hours, so you'll likely need to call at check-in or use your room phone anytime you need help, as the office is unattended most hours off-season."

Pousada de Viseu

10/10 Excellent

"All round excellence. Perfectly placed to explore the region. Superb hotel. The architecture of the place (and the scale) just blew us away. Trip type - Holiday Travel group - Couple Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5 Nearby activities: Plenty to see & do in town, and the hotel is centrally placed for drives in the beautiful coutryside (although Viseu's string of roundabouts to get to the main IC can get a bit tiresome) Safety: Our experience of everyone we have met has been great. In general, people are very kind & friendly, welcoming to strangers, with very helpful gestures - smiles and great consideration for us & our poor Portugese language skills! Walkability: Uneven cobbled pavements need more care. All we wanted to do was nearby however, and the weather [October] was absolutely perfect - slippy cobbles could be another story. Food and drinks: Fantastic local traditional food, pastries, coffee & fine wines from the region - we have enjoyed exploring regional cuisine very much. Noteworthy details The lovely lady on night reception was an absolute font of knowledge of things to do in and around Viseu - really made our visit magical. Obrigado! The parking at the hotel was reasonable and secure. Hotel highlights Luxury, Great view, Quiet, Great value"

Douro Royal Valley Hotel & SPA

10/10 Excellent

"An unforgettable experience in the Douro Valley. The views from the property are simply stunning, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay special — personalized touches throughout made it feel like far more than just a hotel stay. The chef's dinner was a true highlight, and the wine tasting experience was expertly guided. The only reason this isn't a full five stars is the more rural location means a bit more travel time to reach — but that's also part of what makes the Douro so peaceful and worth visiting. A beautiful, memorable stay we'd happily repeat."

Dajas Douro Valley – New opening

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is set on a hillside facing the Douro River. Our room had an incredible view. The place is quiet and well-maintained. Our room was clean and had all the amenities of home. We enjoyed the buffet breakfast and they offered to make you eggs and pancakes. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Candal?

The best area to stay in Candal is directly within the village itself, or in the nearby larger town of Lousã for more amenities.

Candal village is a small, traditional schist village located in the Serra da Lousã mountains. It's characterised by its unique dark stone houses, narrow, winding pathways, and the Candal River flowing through it. The village is compact and can be explored entirely on foot, offering a tranquil escape.

Couples seeking a peaceful retreat will find Candal village an excellent choice. It's great for those who enjoy nature walks, with trails leading directly from the village into the surrounding hills. The quiet evenings and scenic views provide a relaxing setting.

For travellers who prefer a wider selection of restaurants, shops, and a bit more activity, Lousã is a good alternative. It's about a 15-minute drive from Candal and offers larger accommodation options.

When is the best time to go to Candal?

The best time to visit Candal is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) months.

During these periods, the weather is pleasantly mild, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking along the well-marked trails that crisscross the Serra da Lousã. You'll avoid the intense heat of summer and the cooler, wetter days of winter, ensuring a comfortable experience exploring the schist villages and natural landscapes.

Couples looking for a peaceful getaway will find these months particularly appealing. The fewer crowds mean a more intimate experience as you discover the rustic charm of the village, enjoy local cuisine, and take in the scenic views of the surrounding mountains. It's a great time for leisurely strolls and photography.

For solo travellers seeking adventure and connection with nature, spring and autumn offer excellent conditions for exploring the region's hiking and cycling routes.
