"Vila Santa Cruz Guest House" is a Local Accommodation, with 9 rooms, located in a secular building on the corner. On the ground floor you will find the traditional Santa Cruz pastry shop, and above on floors 01, 02 and 03 is our establishment with entrance at Rua Largo de Santa Cruz, 36. Right in the heart of Braga. Its interior was remodeled and kept the characteristics of the construction of the old doors and windows. It does not have an elevator, however, as you climb the stairs, you can enjoy exclusive photos of the city's sights. We have two rooms with a private bathroom and with an incredible view. The other rooms share another 3 bathrooms which are divided by floor. The high ceilings, the arrangements of the windows and doors bring a lot of ventilation and elegance to the environment, making the place unique. From some of our rooms you will be able to appreciate the beautiful Church of Santa Cruz built in the 17th century that shows the beauty of the Baroque style. And, if you have a good view, you can still look for the roosters of one of the most mysterious stories in Braga. According to the story, there are three roosters on the baroque facade of the church and the “marriageable girl” who finds them is guaranteed a marriage. If you want more exclusivity, you can also close some of our floors to spend your family holidays in the historic center of Braga. All rooms have minibar, Smart TV, internet. Come meet and you will be delighted.
Hello, welcome, may the Good Humor be contagious and the smile constant. We wish you a great stay and if you like you can extend your vacation, check our availability, it's always good to have happy happy guests. If for some reason you are not pleased, we are sorry, we are trying our best, but we know that there are situations that are not in our control, such as the church bell ringing at seven in the morning, or the bathroom light going out later. 5 minutes (we want to help the planet). If you can take care of the room as if it were your own, we would greatly appreciate it, as everything is prepared with care, therefore, it is not allowed to smoke inside the property and the beautiful women can use the makeup remover and tissue available in the bathrooms to remove their makeup. , and remember any difficulty in turning on the hot water, the TV, or the heater, you can contact us by Whatsaap or by Booking we are always ready to help. Of course, after an intense day of sightseeing in the beautiful city of Braga, or even work, it's always good to have silence after 10pm to recover your energies with a great night's sleep, and be at peace with your safety, because only those who are registered guests and employees can enter the property and the cameras on the stairs have the hard work of fulfilling this surveillance task. Oh and finally, before I forget, if you need to leave early at check out, please don't forget to leave the tourist tax on your desk or locker (the great fortune of 1.50 euros per person per overnight stay ) and the value of consumption if any, and the keys on the door of course. Greetings, Ivania Marconi.
