The owners, Fernando and Paula, were just wonderful. You could see the thought put into every small detail, from the ceramic coffee and tea mugs, to the room decor, to the calming music during breakfast. Breakfast was simple, with quality ingredients, and delicious. The bed was exceptional. They even have a pillow menu! Overall, an exceptional place to relax and rest, with easy access to Aviedro and Porto.

Location, rooms (bunk beds) are not cramped, towels and linen provided even in shared rooms, place to wash/hang clothes to day, great restaurant downstairs, staff was always nice and helpful.
I liked Ovar. It is small and close to other places of interest. I took a day to return to Porto by train, to photograph the tile work in the Sao Bento train station. I did a little shopping, ate in some of the many restaurants and took more photos at the Blue church, Capela das Almas, Chapel of Souls. I also went by taxi to Valega to photograph the tile work on the church there. It is amazing. I read later that it is best to go at dusk due to the light. But I didn't get to see the inside. Check the times it is open.

Carnival in Ovar is fantastic!
Carnival in Ovar is fantastic! I am from the US so carnival is a new phenomenon for me. I really enjoyed the parade and, much to my surprise Ovar is a really nice town. There are lots of beautiful tiled buildings, the beach is really nice and I spent more time in Ovar than I was expecting. Not many restaurants were open due to carnival, but we went to a local place called PH which had a special meal for carnival. It wasn't the best meal I had in Portugal, but given the circumstances it was a good find.

Lovely old town with obvious investment in restoring it to...
Lovely old town with obvious investment in restoring it to its former glory. Check out the school of arts and crafts in the old paper mill and its exhibitions. Make sure to try the traditional cakes Pão de Ló de Ovar. A walk around searching for the lovely tiled houses is also a must. Nearby Ria is worth a visit, make sure you catch the short (car) ferry at St Jacinto to Aveiro.

Ovar is a wonderful area, especially for beach lovers.
Ovar is a wonderful area, especially for beach lovers. There are several great beach towns to explore, many new nature preserves and beach walks...and all of them feature restaurants with amazing food! Only half hour drive to Porto and you can easily take a train into the city and use the clean and safe subway system to get around the city for sightseeing.
I stayed at this hotel five years prior to this last visit and it was just as beautiful as I remembered it ~ you are literally steps from the beach! Unfortunately, I became ill with food poisoning and spent most of my time in my room. When checking out I was in need of something easy on my stomach and the front desk agent immediately called the kitchen and they put together a grilled ham and cheese for me! It was such a kind gesture and so appreciated! Definitely made a customer for life!
Immaculately clean! The owners have thought of everything you could possibly need for your stay.
Nothing is too much trouble, from changing the times of breakfast to suit guests plans, accommodating dogs of every size and breed, to asking if you would prefer something different for breakfast!
I should mention, best hotel hairdryer ever!!
You leave feeling that you have been so well looked after by everybody here. Great value for money with little extras you wouldn’t expect! A real gem!
That is a house, only three bedrooms, so there can't be more than three couples at once. Good wi-fi, several bathrooms, two balconies, it is nice that prohibited outdoor shoes inside. I really enjoyed the kitchen, all the kitchenware was available. Really nice manager. The style of the hotel is adorable. Wooden floor in the rooms. It was really clean in the house. There is a feeling that the owner spent much time thinking how to make customers experience as nice as possible.
leanor is the loveliest of hosts, ensuring everything is satisfactory and following-up and through with clear communication. i love staying here every time i am in ovar+furadouro. it's truly a magical spot with a magical host and staff (esp theresa, who is the housekeeper with the best smile:)¹
¹ extra shout out to the kitchen design: a proper layout for anyone to whip up a decent meal.
Sérgio was an outstanding host! He was so accommodating and helpful. He responded quickly to emails. He was extremely kind. The location of the apartments was perfect. It was in the center of the city but not too loud. Right outside the apartments was a courtyard attached to a great little cafe and a restaurant. The best place to stay if you stay in Ovar!
The pool was great (pretty chilly in early may but we went in a few times), private fully fenced garden and only 5min walk to the beach/9min to the shop, 5 mins drive to big supermarket in ovar. We were greeted on arrival & shown around. The beds were comfortable & clean. Washing machine in out house and drying rack available. Netflix & fast internet.
Everything was cool. Location at the end of Ovar near the beach. The host met us near the apartment and showed everything. The complex has outdoor and indoor pools. Arriving on a weekend, it was difficult to find a place for parking. The host offered her place in the private underground parking.
The room (and the hotel as well) appears to have been newly renovated. My room has a balcony overlooking the river. There is a medium-sized supermarket next to the hotel which is really convenient for some drinks or snacks. The staff was very friendly, helpful yet efficient.
This is the best decorated place I've ever been in my entire life. It was so charming! The bed was comfy and it was perfect for our last night in Portugal before going to the airport.
