Hotel Casa da Nora

Casa da Nora is a quaint boutique Hotel only a few km from Leiria. The property itself is sort of magical being located in an old mill right next to the Lis River. The grounds are beautiful, lots of greenery landscape, beautiful pool area, with a lot of old rustic accents. The restaurant is a must try with amazing local traditional dishes, and a great selection of wines. Must eat al fresco to enjoy the outdoor patio! We stayed in a Queen room on the second floor, it had a balcony with views to the River! Magical! The room was very clean, cool with AC, the bathroom was spacious, and it was very peaceful! We will be staying again for sure! Being a local born and raised in Leiria, I can say this is probably the nicest hotel in town, however it is a few minutes to drive to the center of town, but so worth it! The staff was also very friendly and attentive and they even allowed us to check in a bit earlier! Absolutely right commend!

The restaurant is truly incredible. Some of the best food we've eaten in Portugal. Location is very pretty, on the edge of a small river. Pool/garden area very peaceful and pretty. Nice option for covered outdoor dining right by the river. The hotel in general feels more like someone's very well-maintained home rather than a hotel. We stayed at the end of summer but it felt very cosy and are planning to come back in the winter.

Occasionally it took a small wait to get someone's attention as the reception wasn't always manned (but it's not really a traditional hotel in that sense).

A gem. Everyone was absolutely lovely, the place has a wonderful location and very comfortable room. They even let us dine in the restaurant even though we arrived just a couple minutes before the kitchen closed. Everything was just very very lovely, very clean and well maintained. Do book a table at the wonderful restaurant and ask for a room with view to the river/Nora. Magical!

Nothing.

Dinner was more traditional Portuguese so you have to enjoy food cooked with oil. Continental cold breakfast was plentiful but no cooked food offered. Room initially had to be changed because we had difficulty getting bags up to the top floor with no elevator available. The changed room was more than sufficient.

Excellent location on a river with amazing view of the watermill at the property, one of the best restaurants in the region and the list of superlatives could continue. We are thankful for a wonderful stay at Casa da Nora

Fantastic hotel & restaurant, clean/comfortable rooms, great air-conditioning, swimming pool, continental breakfast, superb value.

Not too much to do in Cortes, but close enough to Leiria for when you want the crowds. Cortes is lovely village, with a couple of Cafe choices across from the Hotel, but not much other choices for dining other than at the Hotel.

A small hotel with a very popular restaurant. Well situated for day trips  to the monasteries and the coast.  Offstreet parking in a pleasant pool area make for an enjoyable stay.

The bathroom in my room was a bit on the small side, but fully functional and the AC was a little finicky

rooms with enough space for luggage and big bath room with good water preasure. cats running around the entity, very cute… breakfast was fine with fresh fruit and great bread! we also enjoyed a meal in the Restaurant, which was just amazing and not expensive for their quality (big portions btw) :) great!!

there was no space in the shower to put shampoo and stuff, but well… not a big thing ;)

Great restaurant for lunch and evening meals, Nicely presented and ample breakfast in a seaprate room. Staff very friendly and helpful. We had a top floor room with view over the river, which was very nice and well appointed.

We really enjoyed our stay. With a car it is a very good place to visit Leira, Batalha and Fatima. We also recommend to eat at least once in the restaurant for lunch or dinner, this was absolutely delicious. The breakfast is includes in the price and fabulous. During our stay the weather was not very good, so we didn’t use the swimming pool, but on a hot day this must be great.

No really disadvantages
