I was so pleased with my experience at Hotel Conde d’Agueda. I am walking the full Portuguese Camino central route and the fires made it impossible for me to continue for a few days. Staying at this hotel made all the difference. Because of the fires, the hotel was actually short-staffed, but you wouldn’t really know it. Florbela was just the sweetest. She had a lot to manage, but she never got frustrated with the guests. She made sure I was taken care of, as well as the other Camino walkers who also had to stop walking and stay there. I watched her pay close attention to everyone’s needs, learning their names, and making sure they were taken care of for dinner and breakfast. She chatted with us and made jokes and made sure we checked out the really cool features of adorable Agueda. I personally loved the church in the park that she recommended I go see. Luciana was aLeo amazing. She remembered my name and took care of me at dinner, which was delicious, by the way. She and Florbela helped organize my taxi to the next town and I will really miss their hospitality. The public lounge areas are great and my room was lovely. It was a nice sized room and bathroom, with a great view of the town. The Portuguese are going through a very stressful time right now with these fires and a lot of their friends and families are directly affected by them. To extend such hospitality to foreigners goes above and beyond anything. I was truly touched by all of that. I highly recommend this hotel!
