Hotels Near Igreja da Misericordia Portalegre in Urra

Hotel moderno e bem localizado no centro de Portalegre, sendo fácil o passeio pela cidade apenas a pé. Quarto moderno, com muita luz e muito espaço. O pequeno-almoço é variado, mas gostaria de ver um pouco mais de cuidado com alguns detalhes, por exemplo, os sumos estavam pouco frescos e alguns alimentos um pouco secos, julgo eu devido ao calor… o colchão é quente e as almofadas são muito baixas e muito quentes também.

The location is perfect, out in the country, very quiet and tranquil with beautiful views from the balconies. The rooms are large and satisfactory for a 3 star. But, there are problems. Wi-Fi doesn't work reliably in the rooms. The hotel is beginning to look a bit run-down and needs reinvestment, furniture in the rooms is worn. There was only one employee in the whole hotel to serve customers. The food in the dining room (dinner) is HORRIBLE - whoever is cooking is not a chef, avoid eating in the dining room at all costs. For an overnight stay, or a longer stay the rooms are fine. Just find somewhere else to eat.

The hotel is located in a mountain city and only one gate (Portas de Ródão) can be accessed by car. After entering, please use the downhill passage on the left, and then proceed along the city wall. After passing the gate of Porta Este De Marvão, turn right along the city wall and continue uphill. After reaching the top of the slope, turn right into R. de Santiago Road. Note that when you see a small road on the right (ie R. 24 de Janeiro road), enter immediately (don’t miss it). Proceed for about 50 meters to see an eaves arch bridge, under the bridge is the hotel reception. Please note that there are only 2 parking spaces (coordinates 39.393559, -7.376018) opposite the front desk, this parking space does not need to go up and down stairs for luggage and luggage. However, if the parking is full, you can only park at the other 8 parking spaces (coordinates 39.393512, -7.375692) near the R. do Embique road down the front slope. This parking space needs to go up and down stairs for luggage. Therefore, it is recommended to check in early. If the parking space you are using is not ideal, it does not matter. When checking out, you can put your luggage on the side of the front desk first, then drive the car over to load your luggage, and then leave. Although the road will be blocked during luggage loading, everyone is like this, it does not matter, other vehicles will wait patiently. The mountain city is basically a one-way street, it is best to ask the front desk to leave the route, so as not to go the wrong way. The 24-hour front desk staff are enthusiastic, professional and satisfied. The internal facilities of the room conform to the website introduction and are comfortable. There are waiters to clean the room, take out the garbage, change the towels and make the bed every day. Satisfaction. The hot water in the shower is good and worry-free. There are no slippers in the room, please bring your own. The view and service of the hotel restaurant are very good. The breakfast is rich and high quality. Dinner is exquisite. There are two lounges, very comfortable, don’t forget to enjoy them. If you live in the building opposite the restaurant, you can go back and forth through the arch bridge, which is of great significance in rainy days. I tried the Casa do Povo restaurant in the city. The local crock-pot lamb (with pictures, easy to order) is very delicious and highly recommended. It is recommended that Marvão exit the Porta Este De Marvão city gate and go down the hill to the ancient Roman road of Portagem via the Convento de Nossa Senhora da Estrela. The trail takes about 2 hours. Most of the trails are shaded. It goes down the road, and the birds and flowers are scented. The front desk provides free trail maps to Portagem under the mountain, recommends local restaurants and provides the phone number of the taxi driver on the return journey. If you can’t get in touch, the Portagem restaurant waiters also have their own familiar taxi drivers (the return journey is about 20 Euros, acceptable), don’t worry. I tried Hotel Sever Rio e Restaurante Sever by the Portagem River. Only the tomato soup is delicious and generous, so I can recommend it.

Lovely old hilltop house with really friendly and helpful owners, although they don’t speak much English so conversing is tricky! Beautifully looked after and clean with a large lounge area which you can use to relax and a terrace overlooking the valley, what a view! We received a welcome glass of port and the breakfast was substantial and delicious. Parking is outside the house and requires nerves of steel to navigate the narrow cobbled lanes around the inside of the walls to the top! It’s very near the castle which is well worth exploring and has nice gardens for a picnic. You can explore the whole town on foot and a day is more than enough so if you stay 2 nights you have time to relax. There are a few restaurants and cafes in the area but some of them get booked up so it’s worth reserving. Marvao is not as much off the beaten track as the guide books would have you believe. My only gripes are that (1) the house is quite echoey inside and people coming in late can disturb the whole building, and I could hear the man next door snoring quite clearly which is a shame because it’s otherwise so peaceful here at night and (2) the lighting is quite dim, not good for older eyes reading.

«Monte da Esperanca» is een kleinschalig hotel aan de rand van het dorpje Esperança, vlakbij de Portugees-Spaanse grens. Wij verbleven hier 4 nachten in april tijdens een rondreis door centraal Portugal. Het hotel is super rustig gelegen. Wij hadden een smaakvolle twin kamer met comfortabele bedden, een bureau, een grote kledingkast, een kleine koelkast en een ruime badkamer met een ligbad en een buitendouche. Van het mooie zwembad hebben wij zo vroeg in het voorjaar geen gebruik gemaakt. Maar onze buurmannen hadden wel veel lol tijdens het zwemmen in het koude water. Het ontbijt was beperkt, aangezien dit ook een heel klein hotelletje is, maar de producten waren van een uitstekende kwaliteit. Een betere vers geperste jus d'orange heb ik misschien niet eerder in mijn leven gehad. Maar ook de ham en kaas waren uitstekend en de cake was volgens mij zelf gebakken. Verder kregen wij elke ochtend roerei en gebakken bacon, croissants en brood, yoghurt en vers fruit. De dames in de bediening waren uiterst vriendelijk en zorgzaam. Vanuit dit hotel hebben wij overdag mooie uitstapjes met de auto gemaakt: in het zuiden bezochten wij «Elvas» en «Vila Viçosa» en in het noorden het toeristische vestingplaatsje «Marvão» en het zeer gezellige stadje «Castelo de Vide», allebei gelegen in het uitgestrekte «Parque Natural da Serra de São Mamede» waar ook Esperança deel van uitmaakt. De laatste dag hebben wij een wandeling gemaakt vanuit het hotel. In het dorp Esperança vind je bij het postkantoor een grote kaart met de rondwandeling «PR1 ARR» van 15 km in 5:30 uur. Het is een schitterende wandeling die je door dit prachtige landschap leidt met talloze kurkeiken, olijfbomen, heuvels, in de lente langs bloemenweiden, schapenkudden en ook gieren die in de lucht hun rondjes draaien. De bewegwijzering is uitstekend. Alleen één keer, in het gehucht «Marco», ontbreekt een wegwijzer. Hier moet je vóór het allereerste huis rechts afslaan. Verder kom je tijdens de wandeling bij de Spaanse grens en ook bij bijzondere rotstekeningen, de «Pinturas Rupestres». Aan het einde van de wandeling kun je in het dorpje Esperança nog een drankje nemen op één van de terrassen van de café's. In het leuke stadje «Arronches», zo'n 10 km ten zuidwesten van Esperança, vind je verschillende goede en sympathieke en enkele uitstekende restaurants. Daarnaast vind je in Arronches ook café's, bars, kleine supermarkten, winkels, een apotheek en nog meer. Wij hebben genoten van ons verblijf in «Monte da Esperanca». Hopelijk komen wij nog een keer terug, ook vanwege de prachtige omgeving. En een hele lieve, grote hond hebben zij ook bij het hotel.
