Fodor's Expert Review Pousada Viana do Castelo
Monte de Santa Luzia, Viana do Castelo, Viana do Castelo, 4901-909, Portugal
Perched on a wooded hill behind the Basílica de Santa Luzia, this 1920s-era mansion dazzles the eye. The gardens and terrace are a delight, as are the grand public rooms—especially in winter, when the fireplaces add crackling, romantic warmth to the lounges. Guest rooms are spacious and have glamorous marble baths. The restaurant serves regional and Continental cuisine and has sweeping views of both the countryside and the Atlantic.
PROS
- fine views of the basilica and the mountains beyond
- lovely gardens filled with flowers
- plenty of sports facilities
CONS
- location is a little isolated
- funicular stops running early
- pricey for the region
