The Varzinn is a well-kept secret to the area. Locally owned and operated, the family seek to proliferate JOY in serving others. From our arrival to the property to their kindness when we needed a significantly delayed checkout- this property exceeded expectations! Domingos was working reception when we checked in and he is kind, friendly, multi-lingual and knows all the in-and-outs of local establishments. He is attentive to every question and made recommendations which we tried for a lunch at Marinheiro and Regata! Both were delicious and full of the same hospitality and customer-based service as we received at Varzinn. Breakfast buffet is more than sufficient and though ‘continental’ has a full variety for hot plate and cold plate food, bread, drinks, juices, lactose free, vegan, and many more options. A true gem, we hope to return as soon as possible and can’t wait to share more time on this establishment. The rooms are clean, balconies face a garden, and just delightful!

Nice hotel, beautiful garden, tastey breakfast!
Very nice hotel. Loved having a balcony off the room. Room was very clean and it had some English speaking television channels too. Beds are harder than what we are used to, but that was the case in all hotels we stayed at. The breakfast was very good, typical European restaurant with some nice additions, like bacon and eggs and three types of Juices. Would stay there again.

Great new hotel
Expected the town to be much smaller and hotels much simpler. But the hotel exceeded expectations - sleek, new, technologically intersting (e.g. you don't hang cards on your doorknob but use switches from inside, lights come up in the hallway when you step out into it, tv behind a mirror). Quiet location. Amazing breakfast, variety and quality truly unmatched. Terrace, garden .... plus helpful staff.

Good hotel, more suited to the business traveller
The hotel is reasonably modern, very clean and good value. Staff were for the most part friendly. Parking available and the breakfast offering was very good. The room was very clean, and was cleaned daily. Every room has a balcony. The hotel is situated on a side street, off a busy road and when outside there is quite a lot of traffic noise however you don't notice this indoors. The downside really is that the hotel bar is staffed by whomever is on reception and is not really used by guests. There is a very limited food offering, basic sandwiches and nothing else. Nice hotel garden, seating outside available and the wifi coverage in the hotel was excellent.
