Palacete de Valdemouro
Aveiro
A chic hotel near the center with a courtyard pool and a gourmet restaurant.
Aveiro sits on a lagoon on Portugal's central coast, and its canals, crossed by colorful moliceiro boats once used to gather seaweed, have earned it comparisons with Venice. The town is known for Art Nouveau buildings and for ovos moles, sweet egg-yolk treats in wafer shells. Nearby Costa Nova is famous for its candy-striped wooden houses.
Where to stay
Most small hotels are in the historic center, within walking distance of the canals and the old fish market.
Good to know
Aveiro is about an hour south of Porto by train. If you are driving, check parking with the hotel, since much of the center is pedestrian. The salt pans and lagoon are good for birdwatching.
