"All round excellence. Perfectly placed to explore the region. Superb hotel. The architecture of the place (and the scale) just blew us away.
Trip type - Holiday
Travel group - Couple
Rooms: 5
Service: 5
Location: 5
Nearby activities:
Plenty to see & do in town, and the hotel is centrally placed for drives in the beautiful coutryside (although Viseu's string of roundabouts to get to the main IC can get a bit tiresome)
Safety:
Our experience of everyone we have met has been great. In general, people are very kind & friendly, welcoming to strangers, with very helpful gestures - smiles and great consideration for us & our poor Portugese language skills!
Walkability:
Uneven cobbled pavements need more care. All we wanted to do was nearby however, and the weather [October] was absolutely perfect - slippy cobbles could be another story.
Food and drinks:
Fantastic local traditional food, pastries, coffee & fine wines from the region - we have enjoyed exploring regional cuisine very much.
Noteworthy details
The lovely lady on night reception was an absolute font of knowledge of things to do in and around Viseu - really made our visit magical. Obrigado! The parking at the hotel was reasonable and secure.

"It was a nice experience, the hotel was nice a little far but quite nice and the staff were very helpful and very kind all the time
Breakfast was good 😊"
"Rooms were excellent and spacious. Very clean, smart TV, and tea and coffee available. No beer in the mini bar though? Amenities all looked good, made us wear swimming caps to just go in the pool?
Breakfast wasn’t great - limited choices and very busy. All in all a good stay and the rooms are great!"
