Fodor's Expert Review Casa do Outeiro Arts & Crafts Boutique Hotel

This cheerful little hotel in one of the quietest areas of Batalha offers superb views of the historic monastery and the valley below, and it's especially popular with families because of its game room and two small pools. Guest rooms are individually decorated with touches of vibrant color and artworks, and have private terraces. There's no restaurant, but guests may dine in, thanks to an arrangement with several local restaurants, and there's an honor bar in the cozy lounge—with ice cream!
