3-star hotels in Mafra
This shortlist gathers the 3-star hotels in Mafra, from the town centre out to the Ericeira coast. It is for travellers who want a straightforward base for the palace, the beaches and the surf, with guest ratings from 4.1 to 5.0 out of 5.
Staying in Mafra
Mafra is a Portuguese town whose centre is dominated by the palace and its adjoining basilica, and the same municipality runs west to the Atlantic, where Ericeira sits above the surf. The 3-star hotels on this list divide between the two: Mafra Hotel and Castelao are both on Avenida 25 De Abril, with Mafra Hotel also on Avenida 25 De Abril Nº 23; Vinnus Guesthouse, Sandhi House Yoga & Wellness on Largo Santa Marta and Casa das Aguarelas on Travessa Do Honrado are in the town itself, while Praia FLH Hotels Ericeira, Nesha Flats Ericeira, Beachtour Ericeira and the Villa Ana Margarida properties sit in and around Ericeira.
That split shapes who each hotel suits. Couples and short-break visitors tend to take the Ericeira addresses, where the sea and the sand are the point; families fit the apartments and flats that offer family rooms, cots and kitchens; business travellers are served by the Avenida 25 De Abril hotels with 24-hour front desks, desks and banquet space. The rural quintas and lodges inland suit guests who want a garden and parking.
