Description
Spectacular Views with the Hotel Viana Do Castelo
The Hotel Viana Do Castelo, set high on Mount Santa Luzia, combines early 20th century elegance with spectacular views over the old sailing port of Viana do Castelo and Portugal’s Atlantic coast with its long sweep of sandy beaches. The view from the Pousada, with the temple of Santa Luzia in the foreground, is one of the most famous in Portugal.
The National Geographic magazine wrote ‘Santa Luzia is blessed with one of the world’s finest panoramas, perhaps bettered only by those of Funchal and Rio de Janeiro, both in Portuguese speaking countries’.

We visited for two nights at the end of June and thorougly enjoyed our stay. In all areas the staff were attentive and helpful. The room was complete with magnificent view,( especially in the morning when the valley was covered in mist).
A very small point. The front desk rang me twice to ask if we were OK, on enquiring why, I was told I had pulled the assistance cord in the bathroom. I had thought this was the switch cord for the extractor fan ! At our next hotel across the border in galicia, there was a similar cord, but red and with a red ring.
May I suggest you emergency cords are similarly coloured to save your staff concern.
Apert from that we enjoyed our holiday especially the introduction to the area in Portugal
Un lugar espectacular en el que nos trataron estupendamente! Volveremos!!
we stayed in this pousada one night at the end of June. We recommend it as a worthwhile choice first of all for its location. We had a comfortable room with a wonderful view over the river, town and the beautiful church of Santa Luzia. Efficient and attentive staff. Don’t miss the funicular from the pousada down the mountain to the city of Viana. Not far from Viana we visited Valencia near the Spanish border and Guimaraes, both worth the drive. We had a very pleasurable stay!
highly recommended. Worth of every penny.
