Best spot to stay in the region, with amazing views from every room. Not far to drive to beaches.
Pros:

Best spot to stay in the region, with amazing views from every room. Not far to drive to beaches. Castle in town is quite well preserved too. The in-house restaurant has an amazing set of share meals, the steak was the best we had in Portugal.
