 Hotel Rainha D'Amelia by Bwana_Brown
It was great to have free underground parking because the street in front of the hotel was fairly busy. Also, this was the only accommodation on our trip where we had a mini-bar in the room - I simply had to have a cold SuperBock beer after the long drive north! It was very reasonably priced at E1.30 compared to some of the mini-bars that I have seen in North America!
In the hallway beside the elevators, we found a shoe-shine device that would apply polish and then give it a good brushing to bring the shine out - my shoes really needed it!
We also enjoyed our 4th floor balcony overlooking the street. In the evening, it was very pleasant to sit outside and recount our days activities as we sipped on our wine!
Only a block or two away from the hotel was a supermarket, making it very handy to pick up supplies in the morning for our drive further north toward Monsanto. I was also quite impressed by the orange trees, bearing fruit, that Castelo Branco used for sidewalk greenery! I had never seen that before and now wish that I had stopped to take a photo! Imagine walking along and plucking an orange off!
As far as their meal service is concerned, see my Restaurant tip!
Our room rate was not unreasonable at E74.50 taxes included (US$95).

 Monsanto's Pousada by easyoar
The bar was quite a big room and the only dificulty we had was in finding somone to pay once we had had our drinks!
The building is a big old place with impressive architecture inside. I am sure the rooms would be of a high quality too. The picture here is the official Pousada picture as I couldn't find one of my own.

There really are places like that that you can stay in. Ask around the town when you get there and some one will find a place for you. Theme: Other
