"We had a great time at Aalma da Ria. It’s about 10 minutes from Aveiro with the car. There is a main house, with kitchen and common spaces, and then there are the lodges. Ours had 2 sleeping rooms, bathroom, and a small pantry with microwave and coffee machine. The houses are within a green area that includes a pool.
Mariana was so nice and helpful. Everyday she prepared us a huge breakfast she was so nice and attentive.
Highly recommended."

Very spacious and well appointed suite, perhaps only missing more device charging locations. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast clearly one of the best ever and included. Location is great as the downtown is within walking distance and beaches very close also. Did not want to leave as the pool area was a true oasis.

Staff were very helpful, the hotel was a wonderful surprise. Al the amenities were an incredible touch. The room was very modern, never been to a hotel that had such incredible modern features.
The restaurant was delicious, the waiter went beyond his duties to make us feel special.
We were doing the Camino of Santiago and after completing it, rented a car in Porto and found this great town and best hotel.

This boutique hotel should win every award it is eligible to win! The interior design is exceptional and the staff are consummate professionals. The daily breakfast is fantastic with options for all palates. I will visit again!

Really appreciated the friendly staff at this centrally located hotel. The breakfast was excellent! Very comfortable bed and great shower. AC worked well.

We found this hotel to be very comfortable. Our room faced the main street but it was not loud at all. A little walk into the downtown but very close to the train. We took the train into Porto rather than drive and it was very efficient. The hotel staff were very helpful, especially the woman on the counter in the day.

Great staff and service. Very centrally located. Quiet and safe. Strongly recommend. Right now there is major construction happening across the street in a park which limits parking accessibility, but there was no noise impact while we stayed at the hotel.

We loved this lovingly restored old mercantile/home before we even walked in the door. The owner maintained all the original beauty and characteristics. He even arranged for a local restaurant to make the one meal we love and hadn’t been able to find. Breakfast was absolutely lovely surrounded by so much history.

Beautiful and peaceful place to stay. Our hosts could not be more polite. We had a wonderful stay, and recommend it to anyone who likes beautiful nature! We loved it!

I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff was so kind, helping with questions about public transport and other needs, and friendly. The hotel is close to a self service laundry too, which as a long traveler, was a big bonus.The hotel was very clean and freshly updated. It is close to the bus stop, beach and one block away from many shops and restaurants. I would differently chose this hotel in a future visit to Costa Nova
