Ran China

Fantastic 17th century bed and breakfast next to the amazing 14th century cathedral, all within the old walled Centro Historica area of the city of Guarda. Beautiful room with typical Portuguese furniture, super comfy bed, gorgeous linens and a bathtub! The owner Elena and her staff are exceptional and provided extra special care while I had a lousy cold. Drop back in time and stay at this magical location.

Anonymous United States of America

Very helpful and friendly staff. Lovely quiet room with a window. We needed to leave early, before breakfast, so a lovely goody bag of breakfast to go items was left out for us.

Colin France

Lovely hostess - even cleaned our room each day. Fabulous room and nice breakfast provided. Great central location and off street parking included. A lovely old building but with modern amenities.

Russell Australia

This small, traditional hotel is ideally located just off the old square in the old town. It is fitted in classical style, spotlessly clean, with parking right outside the door. The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. The breakfast in the adjoining coffee shop was of local produce and was traditional and delicious. This hotel does great credit to everyone involved in its operation. It throughly deserves its very high rating.
