Solar do Alambique

Good food, interesting history, well appointed rooms, exceptional surroundings with a very warm and friendly welcome.

Our family stayed at Solar do Alambique in late May of this year for one night, right before our visit to Porto from Lisbon. Let me say this as an understatement - the hospitality and generosity that our family received from Helena and Armindo at Solar do Alambique is beyond description. They drove us back and forth between the property and the Aveiro train station despite that they had to attend to other events already scheduled at the property. We were also invited to a dinner party which the best local food, including a roast pig, and wine was served and where we enjoyed a company of new friends from Portugal, France and Canada with some of them we still keep in touch till this day. The distillery on the property was making aguadente during our stay, so we were lucky enough to learn how the fabbed spirit is made and also got a chance to taste it a bit. The suite we stayed in was so spacious with a nicely laid-out room arrangement, modern amenity, a jacuzzi, and a skyline over one of the rooms. What our family experienced at Solar do Alambique was first-class all around. From now on, whenever we come back to visit Portugal, a stay at Solar do Alambique (hopefully more than just one night) will always be part of our itinerary.

This was a great choice of hotels to explore the region of Aveiro. A beautiful place to kick back and relax, pool area jacuzzi gardens all lovely. In addition you have the perfect host and hostess.
