Vale d’Azenha sits in a natural setting five minutes from Alcobaça and ten minutes from Nazaré, with Lisbon an hour away. Its quieter location makes a starting point for exploring western Portugal and its culture. The hotel’s character brings traditional touches together with contemporary design, while rooms and suites look out over the surrounding flora. Business gatherings have a private, air-conditioned meeting room on the lower floor, set apart from other areas and described as having good acoustics. Events can take place indoors or outside by the pool. At Restaurante Golden, regional cooking includes fish and meat dishes, with a carefully selected wine list; the restaurant also hosts breakfast and special dinners.
