We are frequent visitors to Portugal and have experienced the usual range of good , bad, mediocre and absolutely dreadful hotels that can be found in any country. The Bacara Augusta is an hotel apart and delivers a quite astonishing standard of accommodation and cuisine for a very reasonable rate. Try it! A B , Sheffield UK more

The Bracara Augusta is truly Portugal's best kept secret. I had the opportunity to spend 20 days in 2 trips during November and December of 2008, and I could not be more pleased with my stay. Antonio (the owner) and his staff go above and beyond to ensure that your stay is nothing less than perfect. While I was there,... more

After the initial difficulties in finding the hotel as all the roads are up, street signs often non-existent etc., we were very impressed with this hotel, which had every comfort, including a bottle of water and fruit every day, flat screen TV, comfortable beds, masses of towels etc., We ate at their restaurant El Centurion and had a wonderful meal,... more

Whilst on business in Braga I have stayed here several times over the last couple of years. It is a great little, family-run hotel with friendly staff who work hard to satisfy guests.

The staff were prompt, accurate, friendly and very helpful on numerous topics. The hotel itself is well-placed, the room was comfortable by every imaginable criteria, and the food was beyond delicious. I have never... more

This hotel is a hidden gem in Braga! My wife and I had splurged on the Spanish leg of our itinerary on a pricey inn and on our way back to Porto, we opted to spend a couple days and nights in Braga. Our travel agent offered two locations with the Bracara Augusta being the least costly of the two.... more

Stayed for three nights April 2008. This place ticks all the boxes. Cannot recommend highly enough. Just dont tell anyone else about it... more

We just arrived from a weekend in Braga, which was made even more wonderful by our stay in this excellent boutique hotel. Loved everything about it --- the location (one can't get more central than this, BUT without the usual noise common in centrally located hotels), the ambiance --- a great fusion of old/grand and modern/understated, without the exaggeration of... more
