"Good stay"

MS Collection Arouca Mosteiro de Arouca

10/10 Excellent

"This is the nicest European hotel we have ever stayed in. The building is fabulous, really nicely converted with lots of thoughtful design choices. The rooms are lovely, beds super comfy, nice big fluffy towels. Great indoor spa facilities (we had a brilliant couples massage) and the outdoor pool is the perfect place to swim and relax with a cocktail. There are loads of nice places to sit and relax inside and outside. Staying here feels as comfortable as being at home. The breakfast is delicious, lots of choice and everything high quality. Room service food was great, the food in the restaurant really delicious. All of that aside though, what really makes this hotel special is the staff. We had brilliant service from the second we checked in to the moment we checked out. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble and the service felt personal and attentive. We had hired an electric car, charging it was no trouble and in fact the receptionist offered to take our keys, charged the car overnight and parked the car back in the car park. We were lucky enough to be able to have a late check-out too - again this was no trouble and the team were happy to accommodate us. Don’t miss the club room - a lovely space to relax with a book (there are plenty), watch tv and enjoy a complimentary cup of tea and slice of cake. I’m hoping MS Collection expands their luxury hotels elsewhere so we can explore more places while staying in luxury!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Espiunca?

The best area to stay in Espiunca is right in the village centre, particularly near the Paiva River and the start of the Paiva Walkways.This area is the heart of Espiunca, offering direct access to the main attractions. You'll find a cluster of guesthouses, local restaurants, and cafes along the riverfront, making it very convenient for exploring. The village itself is small and easily navigated on foot, with the main road, Rua Central, running through its core.For couples seeking an active and scenic getaway, staying in the village centre is ideal. You'll be just steps away from the entrance to the Paiva Walkways, a stunning 8km boardwalk trail along the river through dramatic landscapes. After a day of hiking, you can enjoy a meal at a local restaurant overlooking the river or relax at your accommodation.Travellers looking for a tranquil base to explore the region will also appreciate staying here.

When is the best time to go to Espiunca?

The best time to visit Espiunca is during the spring (April to June) and early autumn (September to October) months for pleasant weather and fewer crowds.During these periods, the temperatures are comfortable for outdoor activities like hiking and exploring the Paiva Walkways, which is a major draw for the area. You'll find the natural landscapes at their most appealing, with lush greenery in spring and the changing colours of autumn. The rivers are also at a good level for water sports if that's something you're interested in.For those looking for a quieter experience, avoiding the peak summer months of July and August is advisable. While summer offers warm weather superb for swimming in the river beaches, it also brings more visitors, particularly locals on holiday.
