to get started.

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.

The host and staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The rooms are very comfortable and quiet and clean as were the common areas. This place is a real gem. Can't beat the location in the heart of the historic city. Walking distance to several good restaurants. The breakfast was delicious. Great value.

The ambiance, the location, the woman who ran the place, the cat, the dog, the parking and staying in 17th century building with it's own chapel. How can you beat that?

Breakfast was fine in the tea shop next door. Our only mistake was thinking 'English Tea Shop' means have an English cup of tea which was not like we have at home. Our own fault!

Martin

The staff was really helpful. When I asked for some drinks and ice (there was no mini bar) she made all the effort to get me some for the evening.

The car park is made up of very old stone which means it's uneven. Perfectly OK for any normal car but need to exercise caution with anything low. Guarda is a a difficult place to navigate and it's very easy to take a wrong turn and then you can be in difficulties.

The wifi was weak, and the breakfast didn’t open til late on a Sunday but was ok.
A lovely room in a lovely old house next to the cathedral and main square. The host has little English but it works! Breakfast is in the cafe next door and pretty basic, but ok. There’s a fabulous Winebar a few doors down that is well worth a visit for tasting and restaurant recommendations.

Just be aware that the hotel is on top of the hill next to the cathedral. Quite a steep treck on a motorbike up cobbled streets. Would be fine by car. And access to the hotel rooms were by a flight of very high steps. Think an older couple or people with a disability would find it difficult. Unless they have a different access to accommodate people with difficulties walking.
Family run hotel who couldn’t do enough for you. Beautiful hotel and rooms. Spotlessly clean and stunning decor in the bedroom we were allocated. Lovely breakfast in the cafe next door, run and owned by the owners. Really comfy beds. Parking is in the buildings own courtyard.
