The Forte de São Francisco as the name says is inside a fortress and is beautifull from outside. Inside there are some parts where they used part of the fortress and are beautifull, but our room for instance was in a new part not very beautifull. The breakfast was good but we didn't try the restaurant for the other meals.... More

What a lovely room, with much space between the tables that are topped with crisp linen tablecloths and china settings. Unfortunately the kitchen doesn't match the decor. The dishes we had for lunch were mediocre to poor. Part of the problem is the English translation of the menu. Example: grilled lamb chops came out breaded! What an untasty surprise! The... More

The Hotel was kind and let us come even after the usual time of when the gate closes ( Honeymoon perhaps) . The entrance is amazing and there is a wide area,very traditional and a church. The whole complex is very elaborated and has strong cultural heritage. A must see. The rooms are very well decorated and comfortable. The bath... More

This hotel is set on a unique spot, an old fort, right at the top of Chaves. Rooms are spacious, trendy, having a nice balanced mix of old/new. Bathroom was *huge*. The room was clean but definitely not at its best: found hair on the carpets and not just one or two. Forget having free internet at this hotel. For... More

Beautifully restored interiors where many artefacts from the old monastery have been preserved made for a sublimely calm and relaxing experience. En-suite rooms were spacious and air-conditioned, offering panoramic views of the countryside. A beautiful breakfast was included in the room rate - this was a real treat- and the swimming pool was certainly amongst the best around. Staff were... More

The hotel presents a very pleasant surprise to the arriving visitor. It is set within the walls of an old fort, which houses the church of Sao Francisco. Unusual! The room was fine but of moderate size, with hard matresses. Cannot recommend the Restaurant. Two failed attempts to provide an edible steak resulted in no charge for the first evening... More

This is a beautiful hotel in a beautiful little city. Well situated, and in an historical place, that is well perserved. With friendly staff and a good restaurant and a typic tavern with great food from the region. Good breakfast with a beautiful view. Friendly rooms, not too much. More

We stayed here one night. It was awesome. The clerk on duty, Mimosa, was fabulous. She gave us a tour of the fort, and she knew so much history about the fort, and the town of Chaves, Portugal. The on-site chapel is amazing, and it has a secret tunnel. More

It was an amazing experience to stay in a beautiful hotel inside the walls of a fort. The hotel has restored the chapel and maintained the grounds nicely. It has a beautiful swimming pool area (although the pool was cold and not heated when I was there). And the rooms were amazingly clean, beautifully appointed and quiet. The food and... More
