Vila Gale Collection Braga Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This is a beautiful hotel. It looks like a castle, but is in fact the restoration of a very old hospital.many of the original elements have been kept. There are interesting little rooms to explore as you wander through the hotel. It is very spacious. This can lead to a few issues finding your way around, but that was a minor inconvenience. The restaurant served delicious meals and the breakfasts were excellent. The hotel is centrally located and I would certainly go back on my next trip to a Braga."
