2nd floor, Av da Liberdade 738; s/d €23/45; )
Cobbled together
from a few big apartments in an art-deco building, this friendly place was recently conver-
ted from guesthouse to hostel. Rooms are fresh and clean, decent and simply furnished.
They vary greatly in size and light; some have balconies and private bathrooms.
Casa de Santa Zita
( 253 618 331; braga@osz.pt; Rua São João 20; s/d €25/36; )
This impeccably kept pilgrim's
lodge (look for the small tile reading 'Sta Zita') is open to all and has an air of palpable
serenity. The sweet sisters offer bright spotless rooms with ironed cotton sheets and hard-
wood floors, and breakfast served in a stone arched dining room. The only drawback is a
midnight curfew.
