The comfortable accommodations has a themed décor, in line with the seaside setting of the hotel. Free WiFi is available throughout the property. Next to the hotel is Café Farol, one of the area's oldest and most iconic eateries. Here guests can taste a wide range of traditional snacks, drinks, tapas and light meals. The attentive staff at the reception desk is available 24 hours per day. The property is just 164 feet from the emblematic lighthouse that the hotel is named after. Aveiro's center is 6.2 mi away.
