Grande Hotel Da Bela Vista

Every year we visit the hotel for a weekend. The hotel has a wonderful vintage feeling, the social areas are spacious and the setting is amazing. The pool area is quiet, surrounded by beautiful vegetation and the water is sparkling clean for a relaxing swim. The restaurant's terrace is the perfect option for dinner while you can stay inside where it's cooler for lunch. The menu has 2 very healthy and tasty mains and the classical portuguese desserts are yummie. All the staff are incredibly helpful. We've travelled with small children, they had a great time too especially at the mini golf, pool and snooker, shame we couldn't hire the bycicles this time but a walk around the huge hotel gardens and woods was a good alternative. There is also a route of picturesque water mills near by for some 1-2 hour pleasant walk. I'd advise anyone who visits to book a couple of treatments at the SPA which is only 5 minutes away (on foot) from the hotel. Definitely one of the best options for whoever visits Minho and North of Portugal or for a couple of family who just wants to relax and enjoy the countryside this summer .
