Lam Hotel Fortaleza de Almeida occupies a seventeenth-century fortress, with furnishings and décor that recall its past. From the terrace, the view takes in Almeida, a historic village laid out in the shape of a twelve-pointed star. A dedicated space is set aside for special events, while the lounges provide room to unwind or read. The à la carte restaurant focuses on traditional regional flavours, with a bar for a drink and a breakfast buffet featuring fresh local produce. Almeida’s Military Historical Museum and village centre are both a short walk away.
