Hotel Santa Clara — Hotel in Vidigueira

The hotel is owned by a retired teacher. It is always clean and tidy but I must say quite dated. It is the only hotel in the town and is located on a quiet side street. The staff are very helpful and pleasant. Out of all their staff only Andre speaks English. He speaks an excellent English and is very obliging! ||||Vidigueira is a small town located near to Beja and populated by many older people. The young people move to the big cities for jobs. It is an agricultural area for olives and wine. ||||The hotel has a bar downstairs where locals come in the evening, and also a pool table which I have never seen being used. ||||There is free wifi but the connection is not brilliant. The TV is flatscreen however some of the channels are a quite unclear and fuzzy. This is due to issues with the TV card.||||I always take the suite room which has a lounge and a fridge and is very spacious. None of the other bedrooms has a fridge. ||||Its not a hotel for a holiday but it is very suitable for business people who are staying a few nights.||||Whilst the hotel is old and dated however considering the price it is very good...

Pleasantly surprised. Good welcome, nice room with a small balcony overlooking the little garden. Interior is all tiles and marble and well kept. Endless corridors! Room was a good size, with a little refrigerator in the corner. Well appointed bathroom with bath and shower. Wifi fast and stable enough for video streaming. My only minor complaint was the noise of the heating and ventilation unit, which I turned off and did without. ( I usually do, everywhere!) Extensive buffet breakfast offered, very good value. No restaurant but plenty of places to go nearby. Good supermarket five minutes walk away open all day every day. All in all a very good short visit.||There are only a few ground floor rooms, adjacent to the garden. Those less mobile may wish to ask for one. There is no lift / elevator...
