Stayed in hotel alegre for 7 nights having booked direct through hotels own website. They responded promptly to all questions via email and were really helpful. The hotel itself was very traditional, lovely and clean and the staff couldn't be more polite and helpful. The traditional continental breakfast was lovely from the fresh bread to the range of fruit and jams etc. It was set in the centre of a lovely little town which was a handy e base for our needs but within easy reach to Some of the bigger towns and cities. Would definitely recommend and would happily return again. Many thanks for our lovely stay.
Really nice hotel with an interesting history within easy walking distance of the Bussaco forest. We walked all morning through the forest and up to the battle sites – some great views. Large room, well equipped bathroom, all very clean. Lovely pool area – used pool both days, with interesting bandstand style shaded sitting area. Plenty of parking both in the hotel car park and on the road outside. A little difficult to find but should have checked photo before – a large pink building with a fine staircase about 100 yards along the road from centre.
An old hotel with a huge story with it. Recommend it. The city is also very nice to visit. The decorations is very vintage and very pleasant. There are also a lot of locals to visit in that area like Parque Natural do Buçaco.
We stayed at this hotel for three days and were fairly happy with this place and its surroundings. The weather was poor for the time of year, but the owners and staff can't help that, can they? Nor could they tell us they did not like the weather, as we do not speak a great deal of Portuguese and we did not encounter any member of staff who spoke English, French, Dutch or German. Still, everything went smoothly. Alegre is old style, with a lot of dark wood and the smell of wood polish that seems to go with it. You still get a good deal for what you pay: the amenities are OK, our room was not too big, but satisfactory for a three night stay in an area where you can visit a lot. There is a small pool, a (rather cramped) parking lot and buffet breakfast well supplied (egg is baked/cooked on request). Luso was well located to visit Aveiro, Coimbra and Conimbriga, while Busaco and the Vineyard area are worth a visit in their own right.…
Spent a werkend here and just loved the place!!! It is an old style hotel but its charm is soemthing worth seeing. The swimming pool is not that big but I believe it is enough for the number of rooms of the hotel. It has everything you need and the mattress and sheets are soooo good!!! The breakfast is very good and fresh with a good variety of bread, cakes, ham and cheese. The chocolate cake is probably the best I have ever had (not too sweet and so fluffy). Eggs, sausages and bacon are also available and freshly made which is a plus compared with other places I have been before where the eggs and sausages are left there and you end up eating them cold. The stuff were very nice and helpful and suggested nice places to visit. Mata do bussaco is a couple minutes away. The location is also very good as you are 5min away from all the local amenities like restaurants, cafes, bakeries etc. It is great value for your money and it is a very quiet place!! Ideal for a long weekend for relaxing and resting. The only downside while we were there is that the bar was not open. …
