The Literary Man Obidos Hotel
Dom João D´Ornelas, 2510-074 Óbidos, Portugal – Excellent location - show map
The decor in the hotel is books everywhere, it certainly lives up the name literary hotel. It is a very relaxing place with very friendly staff. As a gluten free person I was very looked after, the chef cooked from scratch my meal to ensure there was no cross contamination when we eat in the restaurant. And I was presented home made breads and treats for breakfast.
