Lonely Planet "The factor that sets this place apart from several similarly historic hotels is the relatively large garden. While hardly a park, it is large enough for a short stroll and has some attractive corners." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Centrally located...the Jan Brito occupies an attractive 16th-century building with a stepgabled, brick façade."
