What a pleasant surprise! Our first night on the mainland after eight nights in Madeira, we decided to stay in Tomar, a beautiful city with a gorgeous church/monastery of the Templars dating back to Prince Henry. Part of our objecive was being reasonably close to Fatima, which it is. We didn't know what to expect at this property, which some people complain about because it's modern. Yes, contemporary, and gracious and clean, with room A/C that works perfectly, exceptionally comfortable beds, good service and a splendid breakfast buffet.
We could easily have eaten here, since the restaurant seemed quite fine, but we were more in the mood for the hustle and bustle of a local place. The concierge sent us to an establishment, packed SRO with locals, just a few hundred yards away on the river, and it was exactly what we wanted. I had the greatest goat, my wife a local fish. A spectacular choice.
We should mention the room. We decided we'd like an upgraded room, so we paid for a deluxe accommodation. It was huge, twice the size of a standard room, and had a very large and well appointed bathroom. I actually think our stay couldn't have been any more pleasant at a Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton, and the price was certainly right.
