Stray off the beaten path to discover the 'Venice of Portugal' on a stay in this lovingly restored 18th-century palace. Once home to novelist Eca de Queiroz, the property showcases both the old and new, with a central staircase draped in red carpet, ceilings featuring original stuccos and themed rooms named after the writer's imagined characters.
From the gourmet Prosa restaurant to SPA Moments (complete with jacuzzi, sauna and Turkish bath), indulgence could not be easier at this sophisticated haven. Choose between the outdoor or indoor pool, enjoy some quiet time in the cosy library or grab a drink at the stylish bar before heading out.
Beyond the hotel, unearth the secrets of Aveiro, home to romantic canals, colourful Moliceiro boats and captivating Art Nouveau architecture. Should you wish to venture further afield, Portugal's beaches are within easy reach and Porto is less than an hour away.
