This is a beautiful property with amazing views over the town and ocean. The hotel is lovely, a tad dated but it is beautiful. It is a twisty drive with switchbacks up to the hotel for those with my fear of heights!
Patricia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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

The view is obviously unique, we could spend hours looking at the view. The staff are always professional and very helpful. English spoken by all.

Stunning views. Staff were extremely accommodating. Restaurant a bit pricey but expected. Rooms were spacious. The carpets could use a little love but overall perfect stay. FYI it is not walking distance to anything

Vistas deslumbrante serviço aquém do expectável

A Pousada tem, sem dúvida, uma localização privilegiada e uma vista magnífica, criando uma atmosfera especial e tranquila. A piscina é excelente, embora o acesso à mesma se faça pela lateral do edifício, passando por uma zona de serviço — o que quebra um pouco a experiência, especialmente num espaço com estas características. O pequeno-almoço é bom e variado. No entanto, o atendimento da recepção ficou muito aquém do esperado, recepcionista nada simpática (uma menina jovem mas com pouco jeito para interagir com os clientes). Para um hotel onde pagámos 253€ por noite, esperávamos outro tipo de atenção ao detalhe: não fomos recebidos com uma taça de espumante e também não havia ninguém disponível para nos ajudar com as malas desde o carro até ao quarto, algo básico num serviço desta categoria. No geral, o potencial da Pousada é grande, mas há aspectos importantes na experiência do cliente que precisam de ser revistos para corresponder ao nível e ao preço praticado.

MAJESTUEUS GEBOUW EN LIGGING

Geweldig mooi gelegen hotel met prima accommodatie. Restaurant is goed, een meer wisselende menukaart zou de keuzes kunnen vergemakkelijken. Ook het laadpunt voor EV is een pluspunt.
Jef, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

La Pousada está en un sitio privilegiado. Es un edificio con mucho encanto, pero se siente muy gastado. Le hace falta una reforma. El cuarto de baño es muy antiguo y las cañerías dan olor. Reservamos una habitación para tres adultos, pero la cama adicional era muy incómoda. Estando el hotel con muy baja ocupación, nos instalaron en una habitación sin vistas al océano. El desayuno y el servicio de limpieza bueno. Tiene una relación calidad/precio mala.
FCO. JAVIER, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It’s all about the location at the top of a mountain overlooking a jewel box of a church. This grand hotel was built in the early 1900’s. It has been renovated but is definitely an older property. Room was comfortable and the view was AMAZING. Breakfast was wonderful.
lorrie, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

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 hotel.

Hotel beautiful but decor a little tired. Still in good shape! 5 Star for the hotel, 10 out of 5 Star for the staff. They were outstanding and the off season rate was unbelievable. If we return to Portugal it is on our list for staying!!

Hotel maravilhoso e super bem localizado. Pena que o serviço, talvez pela época que fomos, deixou a desejar - Com exceção do moço do café da manhã, os funcionários me pareceram nos evitar. Não havia funcionários disponíveis parecia. O ar condicionado do quarto não funcionava.

Hotel datado: aparência de muito antigo. O quarto não estava totalmente limpo, havia teias de aranha no closet. O café da manhã não era nada de especial, apesar de não ser ruim e ter boa variedade. Pouca voluntariedade dos funcionários com os hóspedes lusófonos.
Felipe B, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Vue imprenable étant sur la colline. Le funiculaire à 5 min de marche est très pratique pour aller dans la vieille ville sans la voiture. Lit confortable, chambre spacieuse
