Hotel Mestre Afonso Domingues

Enjoy modern comfort at the Hotel Mestre Afonso Domingues located adjacent to one of Portugal’s sightseeing gems the 15^th-century Monastery of Batalha built to commemorate King João’s victory over the Spaniards (whose forces outnumbered his by 5 to 1) at the great battle of Aljubarrota. The monastery is one of Portugal’s highlights, so it is a tremendous advantage to be able to park your car at the hotel and walk across the square to the cathedral. The hotel is decorated throughout in a light and airy contemporary style. The bedrooms are of average size, with high ceilings and relatively spacious bathrooms. One room is specially adapted for the handicapped. Some of the bedrooms have a remarkable view out to the abbey. At night the vista is especially magical, with the lights from within the cathedral illuminating its stained-glass windows. The restaurant also overlooks the abbey and features an outdoor terrace, which is especially enjoyable in fine weather. The Hotel Mestre Afonso Domingues provides an ideal base for visiting Fátima to the east and Nazaré to the west. The hotel is part of a network of hotels partially owned by the state.
