My wife and I plus two friends spent 4 nights 8th-12th November 2009 at the Albergaria Dias. It is just a shame it was not longer. The service at this small hotel is beyond reproach and they must have all been to charm school. Nothing is too much trouble. The owner makes a point of checking with guests at breakfast... more

We were keen to use the local bus service and the receptionist not only lent us a bus timetable but also the giro cards needed to top up our travel requirements and advice on how to go about it. We were greeted on arrival with a welcome... more
