Forte de São Francisco Hotel Chaves

Forte de Sao Francisco Hotel is truly a hidden gem that we are incredibly grateful to have discovered. This place is absolutely breathtaking. Each staff member contributes to the exceptional experience, and the fabulous on-site restaurant takes it to the next level. We arrived by bicycle while cycling the N2, and we were pleased to find a secure indoor storage area for our bikes. The only downside was that we wished we had more time to fully enjoy this tranquil haven and savor additional meals. Don’t hesitate—book your stay, dine here, and thank me later!

This is simple. Great hotel. Bedroom very good for us. Have been to this hotel many times. Pool is great when weather is good. View from pool is amazing. Breakfast was first class. Evening meal was first class. The hotel is full of character and history. We will be back.

What wasn't to like. A magnificent setting for a hotel, and a good base to explore Chaves and the surrounding area. We ate in the restaurant one evening (you have to book at reception), there weren't many other there but the food was excellent. As with other hotels breakfast is buffet style and the staff ensure that the food is refreshed on a regular basis. An interesting building in its own right.

Top notch, spectacular, tasteful restoration of a religious monastery. Beautiful decorations and artifacts. Unique and comfortable rooms. Superb swimming pool and views down over the town. Excellent breakfast. Amazing environment.

Rooms we're spacious and well appointed, clearly a 4 star hotel with its facilities, pool, general quality of everything. Excellent offerings at breakfast. Our 2nd stay as a touring group and will return again.
