“The view is incredible”

Reviewed 8 September 2012 via mobile

This Pousada is in line with many others but the position on the mountain makes the experience incredible. We would thoroughly recommend a visit as part of a tour. The roads from Porto and Braga were really good so OK for the hire car tourist. Make sure you have an upgraded room (not a standard) so that you have the... More

Unforgettable breathtaking views, a relaxing atmosphere, stunning rooms and a friendly reception service is all you need to be charmed by this Pousada..
