First things first - this pensao is hard to get to. It sits at the top of the hill, under the castle in the Alfana district. Getting up there doesn't take long but it's steep.

We were booked in for a week here in July 2003. Stayed the 1st night in a clean, front-facing room with great view, which was good value. We had been advised that we would need to change rooms after 1 night to get an en-suite room, which was not a problem. However we did not expect to find our things... More
