Hotel Villa Garden Braga

We stayed one night at the Hotel Villa Garden Braga but I would have liked to have stayed longer. We were due to stay in a standard double in the modern annex but got upgraded to a suite on the 3rd floor of the actual villa. This was a lovely period style room (18th/19th Century) which had 2 double beds and full length French doors leading onto a Juliet Balcony overlooking the garden. It had a small seating area, again with French doors leading onto a Juliet Balcony and a nice size bathroom. We opted to have half board and, although we seemed to be the only guests who were dining and the fact that they had 3 functions on that evening (Saturday), the staff were very attentive and the food was lovely.

Central location: easy access to many historical sites; great parking. The building itself is lovely. We were disappointed that one of the beautiful antique iron lamps that previously adorned the outside staircase was removed.

Ambiance

Breakfast was outstanding. A great variety, especially the fruit, which was exceptionally sweet all round. Also loved the easy of the parking. given issues with parking we experienced in the other Portuguese, Spanish and French cities we visited on this trip.

The hotel old architecture and artwork inside is very charming. Location is excellent just a short walk to the Praça da Republica (old city).
