"To manage some dietary restrictions, we wanted a hotel with some meal preparation facilities. We chose the Casa Do Contador and we could not have been more please. Prior to arrival we contacted them for some information. Their responses were almost immediate. Upon arrival, we found it to be a small but very charming hotel built upon a former elementary school. Tomas checked us in, carried out luggage to our 3rd floor room, and showed us all the facilities in the room.
For a very reasonable price we had a full suite. It included a large bedroom plus a second room with a couch and a full kitchenette. The kitchen had a induction stove top, microwave, refrigerator, toaster, and kettle plus all the pots and pans and dishes one would need. It was all we need to prepare small meals. The daily continental breakfast was fantastic. Two baskets of bread, butter, jam, eggs, fruit, vegetables, yoghurt, pastries, juice, milk. Slight variations were made each day to make it more delightful. It often provided us enough for small snacks to take on outings. The TV service was extensive with multiple language services.
The lobby had 24/7 coffee service. Behind the hotel was a small garden, pool, and rest area. It was a delightful spot to spend a sunny afternoon.
Tomas also provided useful recommendations on car rentals, parking, and local shopping and services. The only negative was the rather steep stairs to get to the upper levels but that was a small price to pay.
