Flores Village Hotel & Spa

Ribeira


Right in the historic thick of things is this stunning spa hotel, occupying a late 18th-century townhouse. The pick of its plushly understated rooms and apartments have balconies with cathedral views. Welcome extras such as a gym, spa – with a Roman bath and hammam – and a lush garden planted with camellias and fruit trees justify the price tag.
