We received a very warm welcome and the host took time to explain the map and the must-sees to us over a glass of port wine.
The location of Casa Antiga is very central and about a 10-minute walk from the center's first hotspot.
The nearest bus stop is a 5-minute walk away, and the nearest metro station is 10-15 minutes away.
The rooms are very spacious and clean, the staff is very friendly.
Unfortunately, it was very badly soundproofed and our room was located directly across from glass containers and the night owls loudly passed by it which made it very difficult to fall asleep and sleep through the night.
This is not recommended for sensitive people. Furthermore, we noticed that a very good breakfast is probably a matter of opinion.
According the reviews we were expecting more variety and healthy options.
The premises in the dining room are very small, so that 2 larger groups cannot have breakfast in there at the same time and had to go out when the morning temperatures were still cool.
There should be more space here.
Nevertheless Casa Antiga has a unbeatable prime location and we felt very comfortable with the staff and room.
