The value for money at this hotel was excellent, and the room itself was superb - clean, warm, and full of charm. The location in the heart of the old town was perfect, and the staff treated us with the utmost friendliness and helpfulness.

Fantastic location in the heart of the city, just steps away from the main attractions and restaurants. The building itself is full of history and charm, with beautiful antique furnishings. The private terrace in the back yard is a perfect spot for relaxing and enjoying the sun. The breakfast, served in a nearby establishment, was delicious with fresh bread, homemade jams, and a variety of cheese and ham. The friendly and welcoming staff made me feel at home throughout my stay.
The hotel could be difficult to find if you are arriving by car, and there are some stone steps to navigate to reach the front door, which might be challenging for those with mobility issues. The heating in the rooms and common areas could be improved, as it was quite cold during my stay.

We were delighted with our stay at Solar De Alarcao. The charm of the historic property was evident in every detail, from the tastefully converted rooms to the delightful terraced gardens. The hostess was incredibly friendly and made us feel so welcome, even though we couldn't communicate in the same language. The comfortable room and excellent bathroom added to our enjoyable experience. And let's not forget the highlight of our stay - the breakfast in the elegant tea room. It was a feast for the senses, and we left feeling satisfied and ready to explore. we highly recommend this hotel for a truly unique and warm Portuguese experience.

I recently stayed at Solar De Alarcao Villa for a weekend getaway. The 17th-century bed and breakfast is nestled in the old walled Centro Historica area, next to the stunning 14th-century cathedral. The room was beautifully furnished with typical Portuguese furniture, and the bed was super comfy. The linens were gorgeous, and having a bathtub was a lovely bonus. Elena, the owner, and her staff were exceptional, providing extra special care during my stay. The time-traveling experience and magical atmosphere made this stay truly unforgettable.
Recommend this hotel.

The room at Solar De Alarcao was absolutely stunning. The highlight was definitely the original 17th-century wooden ceiling, which added a touch of history and charm to our stay. As a family, we felt a sense of wonder and appreciation for the craftsmanship that went into creating such a unique feature.
Personally, I found the TV in the room to be a bit outdated. However, I understand that some guests may not mind this and prefer to disconnect during their stay.

The terrace was a great place to relax and enjoy the garden, while the breakfast made with regional products was a nice touch. The living area with leather armchairs added a touch of luxury.
Blankets straight from the 17th century - so trendy right now. I loved feeling like I was sleeping in a time warp.

Personally, I wasn't a big fan of having a TV in the room. But hey, that's just my preference.
