Just got back from a wonderful stay here. The guesthouse occupies a 19th-century building with wrought-iron balconies, and in a way, a stay is like stepping back in time to an era of friendly, pension-style accommodation. The building is full of paintings, antiques and so on, and has a lovely shady garden at the back. The rooms are simple, but very comfortable, with contemporary comforts such as air-con, wifi and modern bathrooms. We had two rooms at the front, which came with sea views from the balcony. The location is right in the Zona Velha (the old town), away from most of the big hotels, with the main restaurant street is just steps away. There's also a miradouro with spectacular city and sea views directly opposite, as well as a cool bar/cafe with a terrace. But perhaps best of all are the hosts – friendly, funny, helpful and knowledgable (but not in any way overbearing). The communal breakfast was a delight every morning! I can't recommend Vitorina Corte highly enough!
