This squat, mint-hued town house resides in the heart of Foz, just a short amble from the sea. Its bright, wood-floored, beautifully refurbished rooms sport naturalistic wall coverings and are kept immaculate; the best of the bunch have balconies. Homemade treats and fresh-pressed juice appear at breakfast.
