Fodor's Expert Review Casa de Serpa

Its labyrinth of passageways, whitewashed walls, vaulted ceilings, and interior open courtyard reflect the Arabic influence in this 200-year-old manor house near the Igreja do Salvador. The breakfasts are special with fresh orange juice, honey from the region, and queijadinhas (cheese tarts). The manor is in the center of town and within walking distance of restaurants. Owner Miguel Bentes has several apartments on an adjacent street, which are a good choice for large families or groups who want more space and access to a kitchen.
