this is a very elegant hotel, which opened just years ago in what used to be a hospital, located in a religious complex of historic and artistic significance - and rare beauty. The repurposing has been done with taste and intelligence. The hotel has a lot of personality and offers a unique combination of amenities, for instance a historic cloister/internal courtyard but also two modern open air swimming pools and an indoor one.

Very nice place in biulding of the old hospital with historical elemets inside. Special atmosphere. Sweeming pool and rest zone. Very comfortable. Also good breakfast. Is situated almost at the heart of Braga.

The rooms in the palace side are super nice with tall ceilings, comfortable beds and spacious bathrooms. Make sure to stay in one of those. The breakfast was very good and the hotel is beautiful with an amazing courtyard. The location could not be better right in the city center with access to all the pedestrian streets of Braga. Highly recommended.

The beautiful location, conveniently in the centre of the city so I could explore on foot and easily visit relatives nearby. The very comfortable, quiet, clean, air-conditioned room. The delicious breakfast served in lovely surroundings. The garden and the swimming pool. Above all, the faultless service: polite, efficient staff - thank you.

Good location in the historic center of Braga. Very nice room, excellent breakfast. The historic building that it’s located in is awesome. Lovely spa and outdoor pools.

The location and staff here are what standout and make this a fantastic place to stay. Staff were very helpful when we had questions, and went above and beyond (thank you David O.) when we ran into problems with our car rental. The location is in the middle of the most historic parts of Braga. Rooms are very clean, well-kept and nice enough, but the historical building itself is what makes the stay worth it. It was enjoyable wandering around the place and “discovering” this and that nook, corner or room as we stayed there.

The hotel is embedded with a church and was rebuilt upon a medieval hospital. Hence, it's like living in a monastery while walking in the wide area of corridor, courtyard, bar and restaurants. Besides, the backyard swimming pool looks fabulous. The excellent location allows an easy hangout around the beautiful downtown of Braga. The buffet breakfast is very good, but the exceptional is the internal restaurant with an upper level of classic Portuguese cuisines and reasonable price.

This hotel is so unassuming when you first arrive and go through that doors. The reception/ restaurant area was once a monastery and it is absolutely beautiful. The rooms are all spacious and modern and very quiet. There is a small playground for kids, apart from the outdoor pools (adults/kids). The one night we were there, we chose to have dinner at the hotel restaurant which was so well priced, yet fancy and so tasty. Our daughter was never an issue and welcomed everywhere. The breakfast also had a wide selection of french fruits, breads, ham, cheeses, juices and included a chef making omelettes and pancakes. With regards to location, the hotel could not be more central. Literally in the central piazza of Braga. Staff were super helpful in suggesting, best route to see see all attractions, We will most definitely be suggesting this hotel to friends and family and looking out for more Vila Gale hotels.
