O hotel é lindíssimo tendo em conta que era um convento/mosteiro e foi recuperado mantendo a traça de granito, e decoraram o interior com madeira. Uma combinação perfeita. Além disso, encontra-se num alto com uma paisagem lindíssima, de onde se pode ver toda a cidade de Vila do Conde, a Nau Quinhentista e o rio Ave.
O serviço de alta qualidade, sempre com colaboradores disponíveis para nos ajudar ou esclarecer de alguma questão. Fizeram um upgrade ao quarto e estavam sempre a mimar-nos.
O pequeno almoço muito variado, e com alimentos de muito boa qualidade, numa sala igualmente soberba.
Sempre que fazíamos uma sugestão ou um pedido, era imediatamente atendido.

I spent a weekend at The Lince Santa Clara and it was an exceptional experience. The hotel is stunning, set in a beautifully restored convent and has a luxury decoration. My room was comfortable and beautiful. Breakfast was outstanding with high-quality buffet and à la carte options with plenty of variety. I also had dinner at the Oculto Restaurant, which was also a great experience. The spa area with an indoor pool, relaxing spaces, sauna, and steam bath is amazing. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. Highly recommended!

The quality and beauty of the restoration of the hotel is amazing. The rooms are gorgeous, as good or better than Four Seasons. The spa facilities are excellent (although a hot tub would be a welcome addition). The staff is extremely well trained and attentive. The breakfast was amazing. Really a beautiful and peaceful place to stay.

This is an incredible hotel. The conversion is inspired, creating a stunning and stylish environment but at the same time relaxing and soothing. Clearly a lot of money has been spent on the design, but the result is one of the most beautiful hotels I've ever stayed in

Ignore any negative comments on this hotel, it is fabulous. All the staff were helpful and friendly. The rooms are lovely and have everything you need. Breakfast is probably the best I have had in Portugal. The outdoor pool is small but has lovely views. Sun loungers are really comfortable. We had a fantastic meal in Oculto - expensive but a wonderful experience. The only downside on this hotel is it is expensive but we felt it was worth the cost.
