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.
