A major refurbishment of an old house has created 12 light and pleasant rooms along the lines of the current trend in Portugal: funky wall decorations and mirrors, bright accessories and modern bathrooms. The interior of each in some way reflects Tomar, from the town's convent to its synagogue. Breakfast costs €5. The best rooms have small patios and kitchenettes.
Wooden floors means there can be some noise, but otherwise it's a safe bet.
