Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Casas da Bela, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above the 3rd floor) to minimize street noise from the main road. Additionally, opt for a room facing the rear of the hotel for a quieter experience.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor, especially those near the lift or service entrance, as these may be noisier due to increased foot traffic.
Best views
Guests can enjoy views of the surrounding area, with rooms on higher floors offering a better vantage point of the town and the ocean in the distance.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and above are likely to be quieter due to the hotel's layout and the fact that higher floors are typically farther from the main road.
🔊 Noise notes
As Nazare is a coastal town, rooms may also be susceptible to some ocean noise, particularly during peak surf season.

Top Attractions in Nazare
💡 Rent a sun lounger for €5 if you want comfort. The beach gets packed by midday in summer; come early or late afternoon.
💡 Go on a Sunday to get in free. The museum is small—allow 45 minutes. Pair it with a wander through the adjacent streets for the real vibe.
💡 Walk up via the winding lanes behind the church—it's a workout but you'll see the best azulejo tiles. Bring water; there's no shade on the terrace.
💡 Arrive before 10am for the best light and fewer crowds. Bring binoculars; the surfers look tiny from the top.
💡 Walk around the fort walls for the best angle on the waves. Check the surf forecast; on calm days it's still scenic but less dramatic.
