9.6/10 Exceptional! (99 reviews)
Modern, Clean, but the Hotel Parque in Front are 1/2 price. The cons is the breakfast, good but too expansive, better place to eat 500 Meters or less. I walked to Padaria Saudades…. Two eat for 9 euros, and very good quality and service.

This is a great retreat. The house is an odd set up, but was very fun. The location to the city was nice. The beaches nice. Close to a grocery store and food options. Very happy with our choice here.

Popular places to visit

The Church of Santa Lucia, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ, is located on the hill of the same name in the city of Viana do Castelo. The church was built on the site of a small medieval chapel, known as a pilgrimage site for people with eye diseases. The construction of the temple lasted from 1904 to 1959. The eclectic-style Miguel Ventura Terra project combines neo-romanticism, neo-Gothic and Byzantine architecture. It is generally accepted that the architect was inspired by the forms of the Sacre Coeur Basilica in Paris. To the foot of the church at a height of 195 meters above sea level there is a line of a funicular built in 1923. Tourists can take the elevator to the observation deck under the very dome of the church. A panoramic view of the Lima River valley, mountains and the Atlantic Ocean opens from the platform. In 1927, National Geographic magazine named this species the third most beautiful in the world.
