Staying at Rainha Santa Isabel means stepping directly into the rich past of Óbidos, as the hotel is set within the town's ancient walls. The property itself is an authentic Portuguese house, offering a genuine sense of place. Each of the 20 air-conditioned rooms tells a story, with themes inspired by Óbidos' history, complete with phrases on the walls and author pictures, complemented by traditional wooden furnishings.

Our take
I would choose Rainha Santa Isabel for a stay inside the walls of Óbidos, in an authentic Portuguese house with only 20 themed rooms. The fireplace sitting room is a good place for an evening drink, and breakfast comes through room service. A rating of 7.6 is modest, so expect character rather than polish. There is no pool or spa, so choose it for atmosphere.
- Explore the historic walls of Óbidos right from your doorstep, it's a unique experience.
- Take advantage of the cosy sitting room with its fireplace for a relaxing evening drink.
- Consider the airport shuttle for convenience, especially if you're arriving from Portela Airport.
