We booked a "superior twin room" for this stay, which turned out to be a large suite on the first floor of a large, old stone mansion. Huge bedroom with a good heat pump, along with a frigidly cold bathroom and similar frozen sitting room. There's a large shared veranda at the rear as well. This would be 5-star accomodations in the summer, with the high ceilings and spacious surroundings. But only the bedroom itself had heat in the cold February of our visit, and we caught colds there during our stay. No on-site parking, but easy free off-street parking is about 130m away. A short walk to the castle, or to the centre of the old town. Lots of cafés and restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk. Fantastic breakfasts and staff -- incredibly nice people.

Stunning property! The online pics doesn’t give you the whole impression of this villa. The staff are warm and inviting! It even has a chapel in the villa. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else while visiting braganca. It’s across from the castle. Walkable to center of town and a wonderful very affordable breakfast! Free parking one block away.

Very special

What a find! I am almost reluctant to review this very special place but it's safe to say you will not regret booking on of the five bedrooms. Our was very large, with a separate sitting room and access to the cloister overlooking the lovely garden.

The place is similar to a bed and breakfast more than a typical hotel. Parking is off-site but there is parking close by. The place is close to the town center - plenty of dining and cafe options.

Just a lovely and unique property with a very special good feel. The grounds and shared balcony were added extras. The breakfast spread was home made and yummy. All great value for money too. We had dinner in the castle which was also very good.

Braganca gem

It's a grand old house that's been lovingly restored. Lots of granite and timber. The service was very personal. It's worth visiting Braganca just to stay there.
