"This place is unbelievably beautiful and wonderful. The hotel uses nautical flags instead of room numbers as a nod to the town’s history. The rooms are large, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The breakfast was a very good European style breakfast. What really makes this place is the staff. Albert checked us in and then gave us a brief history of the hotel and explained different sites around town. After walking around a bit, we promptly booked a second night. This will be my go to when coming to Viana do Castelo "

"Overall 5 stars but I do want to give a few pointers… if you get there after dark know that the parking will be before you reach the actual hotel building. It’s dark so it will be a little challenging for you to recognize. Once you find the parking it will be super easy. Make sure you get the gate code, room number, and all the check in instructions after you book the reservation because this hotel is self contained which means there will not be a person checking you in. The whole hotel seems brand new. Very clean. Bedroom and bathroom is very small but enough for a short stay. Bed is very comfortable and breakfast has everything you need for a good start of your day! I would recommend this place and would stay there again for sure! "

"I stayed in this fabulous chocolate hotel in early October when I was walking on the Camino way. After a 10 mile day of walking, it was wonderful to get there and berated with a wine spritzer with chocolate shavings, delicious chocolate bar, and a beautiful hotel. The breakfast was included and was absolutely fabulous. I highly recommend this place. "

"We had a view of the cathedral - outstanding! "

"Very helpful and accommodating staff. A little further out of town, however good dining option. Lovely hotel."

"I have wanted to be here since reading James Michener's "Iberia" (he mentioned this at the end of his book) and it did not disappoint. Just spectacular all around!"

"The property was fantastic! They went over and above for us when we forgot our swimwear in the town that we stayed the night before by sending one of their staff to pick it up for us. We appreciated it so much and we were able to use their amazing spa they have because of this. Thanks so much!! "

"The reception was very nice and very helpful for us (we don’t speak Portuguese). Clean hotel and delicious breakfast."
