"In this rather quite city this at first sight somewhat unimpressive set of buildings making up a villa from the 16th century I found a kind of calm that new hotels cannot give you. Charming rooms, a calming courtyard and a garden that feels like a park results in an enjoyable atmosphere. But you will not get services that larger, modern and more luxurious hotels can give, but I did not miss that one second. Likewise, breakfast had all you need, but not more, and was in an cellar built with arches built with bricks that at least looked roman to my untrained eyes.
The area was quite in early March, but there were many smaller restaurants nearby, and a large outlet-mall at the outskirts of the city.
After a longer vacation travelling around much of northern Portugal I was looking for a place to relax, and here found the perfect place!"
