Hotel Casa São Nuno — Hotel in Ourém

Absolutely loved staying at this hotel! Efficient, polite and helpful staff. Nice lobby area. Simply-furnished but clean and comfortable rooms that reflected the theme of pilgrimage in this town. I love the fact that they have a crucifix in every room! Everything worked well in the room and the beds were very comfortable! We had a room with a stunning view of the grounds and the sanctuary. ||The hotel is situated in a quiet area, far from the noisy pilgrims who, unfortunately, very frequently forget that this is a pilgrimage town! There was ample free public parking on the road outside the hotel and a hotel-owned private parking area just across the road. Walking through the hotel’s grounds and the picnic area of the sanctuary will lead you to the back part of the Basilica of the Rosary. It’s a short, pleasant walk - around 5 minutes. There are coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance of the hotel.||The buffet breakfast was standard continental fare. Nothing fanciful but plentiful. No hot dishes. Fresh fruits like apples, oranges and bananas were available. It was self-service which, to me, wasn’t ideal during this pandemic. The staff should be the ones serving the food to avoid many different hands handling the serving tongs/ladles. In addition, every time clients want more food, the food should be served on a clean, new plate. This is just to avoid the serving tongs/ladles from coming into contact with soiled plates and then being returned to the clean food dish. It prevents food contamination. A few other hotels in Fátima actually practise this at their buffets which is really a very hygienic practice! The restaurant area was large and tables well spaced-out. The hotel also provides half board and full board. Apart from breakfast, we didn’t have any other meal there so cannot comment on the quality of the food. We did, however, notice many Portuguese come for meals at the restaurant. Lunch or dinner costs €11/person.||The best part of this hotel was the on-site beautiful chapel with the presence of the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament! Masses are said here every morning (7.45 a.m. on weekdays). It was such a bonus for us - to be able to start the day with Mass! Beautiful! The Masses are said in Portuguese and the ambience is so serene and spiritual with the community (priests, nuns and lay religious) present there that you feel at peace and one with God. ||In sum, this hotel is a good candidate for those wanting to conduct their own private retreat. It has a quiet, spiritual ambience and is very good value for money as breakfast is included in the room rate. I highly recommend this hotel, especially if you are looking for a peaceful stay. Excellent...

Came here with my wife and two daughters on pilgrimage with a larger group. We stayed off and on for 12 days, between occasional trips out of town. In short, we loved this place. Why?||The front desk agents couldn’t have been more hospitable, helping us fax documents to complete a business transaction; and helping us navigate our way to specialty shops in town.||The rooms were nothing fancy (who needs it?) but whistle clean and comfortable. We slept well, whether we used the AC or the fresh night air to stay cool.||The food was fairly uniform, but prepared well and served well. Breakfasts specifically exceeded our expectations and fueled us well until lunch. We were also delighted to have wine with every meal.||Best of all, there was a pretty little chapel on site for quick and wonderfully quiet visits to pray. Can’t get more convenient than that!||All this at a value price! You will love...

Stayed here in May for three nights with three beds. It was very comfortable except that it needed another, third place, to place luggage for the third person in the room. The air condition worked very well. There was plenty of towels in the bathroom. We all had plenty of hot water to shower. The breakfast was a nice spread of meat, cheese, fruits and pastries. The dinner was very good as well. It is extremely convenient to the Fatima Sanctuary. It was perfect and a safe walking distance to attend the evening processions, Mass, or Adoration at the Sanctuary. We had no problems with noise or traffic noise. Would come back again. We highly recommend this hotel. We were warmly greeted upon entering. We were quickly and efficiently checked in. The attendants spoke English and...
