.....when you get there!! We had great difficulty in finding this place. The signage was not good but on the third time round the town centre we saw the sign which we had twice missed. The whole episode was not helped by the fact that several roads were closed for resurfacing. Anyway, once we arrived it was fine! Having stayed... More

The drive was long and tedious after several detours along the main highway on our way to Braganca. It was a worthwhile drive to this corner of Portugal. THe pousada was not well marked so we followed a nice family we met at the gas station to our accommodation for the next two evenings. It is a modern building but... More

We like to stay in Pousadas in order to get away from it all and this one did not disappoint. The minute you step inside out of the intense summer heat and are met by the exceptionally friendly receptionists, you feel relaxed. Our bedroom was spacious and well appointed , with a large balcony overlooking the swimming pool and the... More

We had been at the Pousada de Bragança some years ago when the Pousadas in Portugal were state owned. Now the Pousadas are private and owned by the Pestana Group and are relatively expensives. This one isn't built in a historic building and after privatization the Pousada was enlarged and has more rooms in a new wing. Now they are... More

So they charge for Internet here which in this day and age where you are paying over 100 pound for a room is ludicrous. When I asked for assistance in picking a wine I was told no. we haven't eaten in the restaurant so cant comment. The rooms are quite large and do have good views but not worth the... More

My wife and I stayed at this hotel on the way from the Algarve to the UK ferry at Santander Spain. It is ideally placed close to the Spanish border in Northern Portugal. Currently there are long road works into Braganca, but a new dual carriageway should be completed sometime in 2012 (hopefully!!). The hotel is quietly situated up a... More

My husband and i have just returned from a visit to Portugal and stayed one night at the pousada. Location is wonderful overlooking the castle and the pousada despite not being a historic building is very nicely appointed inside with a quaint country feel to it. The restaurant food however is extremely below standard and could be described as very... More

The building itself is nothing special in terms of appearance and character, being quite modern and purpose built. But it is built in an enviable position on a hillside overlooking the old centre of Braganca and at night in particular the illuminated backdrop of the citadel is a magical view. From the way we were virtually followed all around the... More

We had high hopes of Northern Portugal but sadly this was a big disappointment. A very expensive hotel with little to warrant the cost. 17 Euros for 2 coffees & ham sandwiches is more like Paris! The hotel is 70's style so looking dated. The castle view is nice but it is not that great a castle and there are... More
