Cro Hotel Rural  

Tucked into Rapoula do Côa in the Sabugal area, this family-friendly small hotel sits in Portugal’s quiet Beira interior. Historic draws like Vila do Touro Castle and Alfaiates Castle are within easy reach, making it a great base for local sightseeing.

Built in 2015 with just 30 rooms (including three junior suites and one suite), the hotel keeps a relaxed, modern-rural vibe. Rooms offer air conditioning, flat-screen/satellite TV, a minibar, safe and hairdryer, and public areas are air-conditioned. The property is wheelchair-accessible and features a lift, a sunny terrace and a peaceful garden.

Soak in the spa and wellness facilities (available for an extra charge) or book time in the swimming pool — one hour per person per night is included, with additional hours available by arrangement at a discounted rate; swimming caps and slippers are required. There’s free breakfast each morning, on-site parking, 24-hour reception, room service and newspapers. Wake up to terrace sunshine and stroll the garden before heading out.

Business and conference services are available, and guests can stay connected with free Wi‑Fi throughout the property.

An on-site restaurant serves guests and rooms include minibars. Start the day with the complimentary breakfast and then explore local eateries nearby.
