Whether you want to collect beach glass or watch the sunset, Furadouro Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 0.6 mi (0.9 km) from central Furadouro. If you want to continue walking by the waves, head to São Pedro de Maceda Beach and Cortegaça Beach.
You might want to practice your swing at Oporto Golf Club, a golf course located 0.6 mi (1 km) from central Silvalde. Hotels.com travelers also say the area is walkable and has lots of nice beaches. If Oporto Golf Club doesn't quite scratch your golfing itch, Clube de Golf de Miramar and Clube de Golfe de Miramar are all just a short drive away.
Europarque Conference Center is worth a visit, located 1.9 mi (3.1 km) from central Santa Maria da Feira, Travanca, Sanfins e Espargo. Why not take a stroll along the beaches and watch the sunset while you're here?
"Very beautiful and clean hotel. So convenient to everything in town. The staff were so helpful, and friendly. We received a free bottle of wine for our booking which was very thoughtful.
The rooms were very neat and clean. We had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable."
"Loved the historical charm of the Palace!
The room was a little small - couldn’t open the wardrobe all the way because it was too close to the bed.
The bathroom was a good size. But the plumbing needs to be updated - the water pressure in the bathroom sink starts strong but then quickly weakens; the water in our sink smelled and tasted like old metal. The water in the shower did not smell/taste as bad, nor in the public water closets in the lobby.
The bed was too firm and uncomfortable for our bodies, but we took it in stride.
The walls seem thin, so we could hear neighbors walking the hall and bathing.
Room television had limited channels and none in English, so a little disappointed that I couldn’t catch up on world news.
Only Wi-Fi is in the bar/lounge.
Above is not to complain, but rather to inform other guests what to expect. I would visit again because:
* The staff were all very friendly and helpful - front desk, bellman (?), bar, and restaurant. We did not interact with housekeeping but they seemed pleasant from what we overheard.
* The continental breakfast was fresh and plentiful.
* Dinner in the restaurant delicious.
* There is so much to see on the forest property and it is so peaceful and beautiful.
* The young lady at the Convent reception desk was so sweet and helpful.
Again, the first part above is to prepare others for staying. It is definitely worth staying at least a couple nights. We will return someday! Obrigada!"
"We had the most wonderful stay here for 3 days over easter. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, every part of it is carefully thought out. The decor is gorgeous, rooms spacious with lovely high ceilings and it is immaculately clean. The grounds are stunning, service and staff exceptional, i cannot think of one negative thing about our stay. Breakfast was also excellent and dinner in the restaurant the same with very reasonable pricing too for a 5 star hotel. A couple of minutes walk away are a couple of pleasant local restaurants and if you have a car, lots of hikes nearby. We loved every minute of our stay and would return in a heartbeat. "
"Hotel de diseño con vistas estupendas al Duero. Tiene dos piscinas pequeñas, y un gimnasio y spa también pequeños, pero suficientes. El restaurante Raiva ofrece una comida y un servicio excelentes. El sumiller, Pedro, se portó especialmente bien con nosotros, explicando los vinos de la región y teniendo un trato muy amable. El hotel ofrece diversas actividades, como paseos por el Duero, excursiones, etc. Un lugar estupendo para relajarse y desconectar unos días."
