Arrive at Hotel Paulo VI and leave the car in its private parking before settling into a modern room with a private bathroom. Breakfast is served buffet-style, while the lounge bar is a place to stop for a drink in the evening. The hotel sits in a quiet part of central Rio Maior, close to the training centre, municipal garden and library. For work sessions, there is a meeting room with technical equipment, along with fax, photocopying and email services. The natural salt pans of Rio Maior are two kilometres away.
