Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Belsol

The views of the Rio Zêzere and the mountains beyond are the selling point of the gleaming white Hotel Belsol. Stone terraces lead to swimming pools and landscaped terraces. Local businesspeople favor the restaurant for its excellent Portuguese food, including trout fresh from local waters. The guest rooms have rosy wood furniture and floors that make a nice counterpoint to the contemporary fabrics. You will need wheels if you stay here—the hotel is around 8 km (5 miles) from town on the main N18 road.
