Hotel Palace do Capitao

We went to the restaurant on a rainy day and had an amazing lunch in a cozy room over looking the bay. The chef sat with us and helped order. The food was delicious the wine selections perfect. And the view was gorgeous, staff is amazing - beautiful hotel too.

The Storytellers palace is a small boutique hotel in Sao Martinho. I would say the perfect location- across the street is the beach The staff was helpful and kind. Unfortunately we didn't eat any meals at the hotel but we did hear great things about the high tea.

We always look for a special way to ring in the New Year, and we made the right choice staying at Storyteller's Palace. The hospitality is outstanding, even before arrival. I had a lot of questions about booking for the special NYE event and Marco promptly responded with lots of information about the exciting schedule. We were completely convinced that this was going to be something special. Then leading up to the holiday, I had a few more questions. Márcia and Miguel responded quickly so that we were fully prepared for our stay. Upon arrival, we had such a warm welcome from Márcia and Miguel. We had lunch in the restaurant which looks out onto the bay, a beautiful view. Our server was Iris, who answered any questions about the menu and provided excellent service. Marco even came out and introduced himself, and we talked about the exciting schedule for the evening. For the special NYE dinner, we had reserved seating where special care was taken to seat people together based on their language spoken, so we could enjoy nice conversation throughout the evening. There were so many delicious courses, but our favorite that evening was the duck. Then we enjoyed watching the fireworks from the hotel balcony, and moved to the DJ party at the Gatsby Bar--where we met more wonderful people, watched the bartender make cocktails like a movie star, and danced the night away. This was a New Year's Eve celebration to remember, thank you to everyone at Storyteller's Palace for this spectacular event.

We had afternoon tea here and it was just lovely. Delicious baked goods and sandwiches, together with an interesting range of teas to try! The staff are so friendly and helpful. They catered perfectly for my gluten free dietary requirements too! A perfect afternoon treat.

The Presidendial Suite (John le Carré) is the most cosy room with an amazing view facing the sea and an intimate private terrace. Many meals are required to discover all the dishes and fabulous desserts of the Green Room Restaurant.

To be honest, I don't have a bad thing to say about this hotel.  You are close to the beach. Everyone is so helpful, and friendly.  If you want, you don't even need to bother finding a restaurant for your meals.  Breakfast is excellent, and their ratatouille is amazing! Chef Marco's food is as tasty as it can be, and you should for sure try it, even if you are not staying in the hotel. Finally, their Sangria de Espumante com Frutos Vermelhos is top-notch!

This amazing hotel is located right at the seafront on the most convenient part of the long beach of Sao Martinho do Porto. It is simply the best and most beautiful hotel in town with an extremely welcoming staff and a true professional management.
