O Revelim — Hotel in Almeida

This new and well-conceived guest house offered modern rooms inside a renovated traditional building that blends right into the medieval streets in the heart of the great fortress of Almeida. I was pleasantly surprised, doubly so to find it was only steps from the great walls I had come to see.||||The proprietors, a professional couple, are conscientious and evidence of their emphasis on quality and tasteful design is everywhere: the superb bed and linen, the sleek bathroom and shower, the shared sitting room on each floor (each with roaring fire), the rooftop deck with views over the surrounding plateau, and the inviting lounge/bar/breakfast room. This is above average accommodation suitable for a romantic getaway, a weekend in the high country, or the mature traveller exp!oring the region, as i was.||||I had a quiet night, even though most of the rooms were occupied, and enjoyed the included light breakfast buffet.

What more could I ask so...

It is also smack in the middle of the old town, so walking around is already a true historical and...
