Wonderful place to stay

The hotel has the most beautiful views. We were given an upgrade and had a room overlooking both the sea and a the famous church which overlooks the city. At the same time we had a welcome gift of wine, heart biscuits, and grapes. The biscuits and grapes were replenished each day. The breakfast at the hotel was quality and in a beautiful room. This hotel is recommended. The staff are very kind

Hard to beat the views from this historic hotel. Perched on top the mountain overlooking the city of Viana do Castelo and the river below is breathtaking. Staff very helpful and professional. Rooms a bit dated but clean and comfortable. You may need to get creative to charge electronic devices as outlets are scarce. Nice breakfast with wide variety offered. Transport to town on the funicular is available during the day, ample parking at the hotel.

Great view and excellent service. The room was comfortable and the hotel is clean. The breakfast is fabulous. It was raining so that made walking down to town challenging but I loved it.

Stunning location. Adjacent to the Basilica. Easy access to town via funicular, 3 euro return trip. Weather can be an issue, in particular the fog. If it’s foggy you won’t have any view of the basilica or the ocean. We were blessed with sun for part of our stay! The only place to eat is in the hotel and we found it to be very good and at a reasonable price.

This is a cool old castle, that needs some tlc. The pool is nice but didn’t have enough chairs and could use a facelift. Rooms were nice but ac was terrible.
