Hotel Acta Moa- New Opening
The room was spotlessly clean, the staff was welcoming and helpful. The only complaint was the airplane noise, don't know if they are over a flight path, but very negligible since great bed to sleep on!!!

Locke de Santa Joana
Beautiful hotel, great rooms. Perfect location! Close enough to the water and tourist areas but far away that’s its quiet. Be sure to grab an espresso and pastel de nata at Balcão do Marquês right on the corner!
