Hotel Praia was a great stay for my wife and me while visiting Nazaré for three nights in early…read moreOctober. The hotel is in a great location, has convenient on site parking, puts out a great breakfast in the morning and has large, clean and quiet rooms. All this wrapped up for a very reasonable rate. Hotel Praia is centrally located across the street from the town's indoor farmers' market. The beach is two blocks away below the hotel. Along the way is a super market to stock your room and pick up any beach supplies and a great gelato store on the corner. The cross street above the hotel offers a pharmacy, hardware store, several clothing shops and the police station. To reach the hotel via car from the main highways, follow the signs to Nazaré then just drive into the town on the upper road that parallels the beach and make a right turn down the hill. When you see several taxis waiting, the hotel will be on the right side with the garage entrance just past the lobby entrance. The parking garage is super convenient and included in the nightly rate. It is the tightest garage though that I have ever navigated. Even in my small BMW 1 series sedan, I could not make any of the turns to the single lane ramps in one shot. Just be careful and you can escape without damage. Luckily we never encountered someone going in while we were headed out or vice versa. Breakfast is offered starting at 8am in a large room off the lobby. There are lots of tables to choose from. Each of the mornings, the offering was the same scrambled eggs, bacon, numerous cold cuts, cheese, breads with a toaster, fresh fruit, cereals, several juices and a complicated coffee machine. It took my wife three days to master that thing. Our room on the top floor was large and offered a side view of the ocean and beach from the balcony. The bed was comfy and the room blissfully quiet. We never heard anything outside our room or next door despite the hotel hosting a tour group on our first night. The bathroom was nice with plenty of hot water for the shower and even a stand-alone bidet. The room has plenty of storage, but only four hangers, a room safe and mini bar frig. My only gripe was the 24" wall mounted TV that was barely viewable from across the large room. We found everything to like about this hotel and all for a super reasonable rate. Do check them out if you are planning a visit.

Wow! Luz Houses was a pleasant surprise! The entire grounds are meticulously curated and are just…read morewonderful. Our room was well appointed, comfortable, and - candidly - significantly exceeded our expectations. We were prepared for a little ... funkiness. We found none. The staff at this charming report were super responsive, communicative, and thoughtful. We wish we had a few more days to just soak in all of the quaint aspects of this property. Strongly recommended!!!

The gem I found on my trip to Portugal. Very clean and very beautiful place in a secluded area…read morethat's within walking distance to the Mary Shrine and more. We did not have to take taxi because the staff showed us a short cut through the woods to one place and through a parking lot to another. The breakfast provided in the morning was good and nice. There's a pool and also a small farm with goats in the back yard. The taxi driver that took me here on my first day was impressed that I was lucky to be able to book for a room/unit at this place and she also mentioned that it's a very nice place. I totally agreed. One thing that I can't understand how a mistake took place when we hung the sign on the door asking for no cleaning but they still came in to clean when we were not there. The privacy sign we had on the door was taken inside that's how we knew someone entered our unit while we were away. Besides that everything else was a 5-star!
