Top hotels in Centro Histórico
Grande Real Santa Eulalia Resort
Very quiet, lovely hotel for great value, food options not the greatest but it was out of season so understandable, staff all very friendly and accommodating. Would absolutely visit again but probably in season. We loved our visit to Portugal and found all locals very friendly.

The staff was sweet. ...
