Solar Sampaio e Melo

This place is really well located in the centre of Trancoso and within the walls. I came for the medieval gathering that celebrates a royal wedding in the 13th century. The people are very proud of their legacy. This hotel is a mix of old and new throughout and the hotel boasts a charming games room, beautiful and cosy living room and a really serene breakfast area. The bedroom is modern and the bed is comfy and massive. The shutters means it is very dark. Rain forest style shower and the bath gel and shampoo are from local companies. The best bit is the pool and garden though which have all manner of comforts but if you think busy resort this is the exact opposite. All I can hear right now is the church bells, birds, some planes in the sky and the odd delivery van. It literally has everything you need to relax and take on the sun. Breakfast is perfect, good mixture of local produce and they cater for most countries. The cheeses are wide ranging, the yoghurt home made and one can hear the team work hard (but quietly) in the kitchen. Only reason for taking a star off is the A/C which I couldn't work for some reason. Also this hotel is next to the resteraunt that served me the best food I've ever tasted.

Cool little centrally located hotel that has very interesting architectural features.

Desilusão A receção do Solar foi muito rápida, sem explicações, simpatia e paguei um quarto duplo superior e colocaram-me num quarto duplo normal. Poderia ter poupado 10 euros.
