Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Bejense
Rua Capitão João Francisco de Sousa 57, Beja, Beja, 7800-451, Portugal Fodor's Choice
Founded in 1889, this little inn along Beja's pedestrian shopping strip retains its old stone doorway covered in vines and vibrant pink flowers. The entryway and lobby—along with some rooms—are lined with gorgeous hand-painted tile murals of country life around Beja. A common room upstairs has a long brick fireplace and wood beams, the perfect spot to sip a complimentary glass of port in the evening. Rooms are flowery and spacious, and some have lovely wall murals. The abundant breakfast of homemade cakes, fruit salad, toast, and eggs is served in a bright breakfast room on the second floor.
