Hotel Solar dos Mascarenhas — Hotel in Vila Viçosa

The hotel was completely booked, yet at 60€ it was a good deal. ||The rooms are spacious and comfortable, each having it's own balcony giving a nice view of the garden.||The lounge and reception area is in the old wing and rooms are in the new wing. There are a few halls to relax and enjoy after party next to the pool. The breakfast was sumptuous and filling. ||The receptionist was manned by energetic and welcoming staff. ||We had to extend our stay by a day and the hotel was completely booked that day. The owner allowed us to stay in her own mansion which is just above the reception area. That was very kind of her. ||The location of this hotel is very central, right next to city square.

Solar dos Mascernhas seems like a large mansion in the small town of Vila Vicosa in Portugal. The house was converted into a luxurious hotel, with a new modern wing built behind it.

We had visited on 31 May which is a tourist season in Vila Vicosa due to a long weekend. The hotel was completely booked, yet at 60€ it was a good deal.

The rooms are spacious and comfortable, each having it's own balcony giving a nice view of the garden.

The lounge and reception area is in the old wing and rooms are in the new wing. There are a few halls to relax and enjoy after party next to the pool. The breakfast was sumptuous and filling.
