THE ONE Grand Hotel da Póvoa 4

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed 8 nights in September and was extremely happy. The Staff was super friendly, everything was very clean, good breakfast. The downfall would be that there is no private parking but plenty of options. You can bring the car to the front door to load and unload but just can't park there. There's the casino parking which is right there. The town is amazing, relaxing, beach across the street, walk and bike path, restaurants and everything you would want at a vacation or just passing by. 5 stars!"

10/10 Excellent
"This is a beautiful hotel. It looks like a castle, but is in fact the restoration of a very old hospital.many of the original elements have been kept. There are interesting little rooms to explore as you wander through the hotel. It is very spacious. This can lead to a few issues finding your way around, but that was a minor inconvenience. The restaurant served delicious meals and the breakfasts were excellent. The hotel is centrally located and I would certainly go back on my next trip to a Braga."
