Fodor's Expert Review Santana Hotel & Spa

Taking full advantage of its location on a hill high above the Rio Ave, this modern lodging's rooms all face the river and have their own balconies. The decor is sleek and modern, with rich colors adding a touch of luxury. A wide range of massages and other treatments are available in the well-equipped spa, and you can book outdoor activities like kayaking and diving in the lobby. The restaurant offers a good selection of national dishes and views of the Convento de Santa Clara.
