Our take
I recommend Hotel dos Loios for travellers who want a central, modest base in Santa Maria da Feira. Balcony rooms with views of the castle, air conditioning, an elevator and a 24-hour front desk cover practical needs, and the buffet breakfast adds regional specialties. It is a two-star hotel, so I would not expect a pool, a spa or an extensive restaurant. The appeal is the location and good value for exploring the town and the wider Aveiro district.
- Ask for a room with a balcony facing the castle to enjoy the best views of Santa Maria da Feira.
- Take advantage of the breakfast buffet to sample local specialties before heading out for the day.
- Use the central location to explore the castle on foot and easily reach nearby attractions by car.
