Very high level of hospitality. Impeccably clean and tidy. Not every 5 star hotel can brag with this variety of hygiene supplies found in the bathroom. The host, a noble-looking Portugese senhiora, did her best to accommodate my requests despite the language barrier. The interior of the villa is fancy, borderline boujee :).
Casa do Riacho offers accommodations in Esposende, 1.5 miles from Praia de Ofir and 1.7 miles from Esposende Beach. With mountain views, this accommodation provides a patio.

Very well contained, with everything you need. The Host was amazing and helped me through my stay! Even took me to grocery, to a dinner spot and showed me the area! Provided bread for my breakfast!

All the good restaurants are outside Esponsende - mainly in Apulia. A nice little hike or short taxi ride. Bridge to Fao needs some TLC, at least if you walk over it. Fantastic views, but the rusty bits on the footpath high above the water are somewhat anxiety-inducing (and I even heard that from experienced Camino walkers ...) Would not walk over a second time ...

Esposende was one of the best places to stay that we have had on this trip for the Camino de Santiago. The people that run the hotel are wonderful and very friendly. Everything is very clean and they have a great lounge with a good kitchen to make what you want. I would recommend them and their rooms to anyone going to that area.

We thought everybody had left town.
We thought everybody had left town. The whole place was strangely quiet and deserted. We struggled to find an open place to eat. It was early September. A lot of derelict buildings.
Just about good enough for a one night Camino stopover.

We are an elderly couple who have been to the area many times since 1975 and never tire of it. It has not suffered overdevelopment like many other resorts. It is a great place to relax and enjoy the food and laid back style . The surrounding area such as Ponte de Lima is superb so a car enhances the experience.

Esposende is a nice little town and a cool spot for kitesurfing. When I was there it was quiet and relaxing. I couldn't find amazing places for lunch or dinner actually, but some nice local patisseries instead. Having said that, there is some offer, just not to the level I was hoping. The coast is nice, the wind strong, people are nice too, and it is very close to other nice towns in the north of Portugal

Very nice place with nice sea and the special cakes from Fao. If you are in Esposende you have definitely to go to get some "Clarinhas de Fão". Fão is on the south bank of the river. You can find them in a very small "pastelaria".
The facility was very clean and nicely designed. The bed and room were very comfortable. The staff was very kind and attentive, always available and helpful. They pay attention to details that make it safe for guests. We were riding our bicycles on the Camino de Santiago, arriving extremely tired after riding 60 km and they had a safe place to store our bikes, making everything easy for us. We highly recommend Hotel Mira Rio.
Indira and her father are super kind hosts. Indira even drove me to the bus terminal in Esposende on the day of my departure.
The hostel is quite new, located in a quiet area and comprises a garden where you can enjoy the meals.
The double room I booked was nice and clean, the bed comfortable.
The wonderful sand beach can be reached on foot in about 20 minutes.
All in all a hostel I can really recommend Hostel do Alto Fao.
This is truly a great hostel.
It has the best of both worlds.
The comfort of a hotel and the friendliness of a hostel.
Plus there is a nice pool, a great beach with dunes, and a superb sea food festival right next door (the later takes place beginning of August)!
And last but not the least, the owner Sandra is very flexible (we had to shorten our stay and she agreed to the reimbursement).
This property is in an excellent location, very close to all types of little stores and the beach. It is also a very good value. We really appreciated having an outdoor deck, even though the wall was so high, there was no view, it was really nice to be able to get outside. Comfortable bed and nice quality linens.
Really nice hotel with the nicest staff.
Everything was clean and tidy and you were welcomed in a very nice manner
The room was clean and in a good size
The town is very nice, with bars, cafes and restaurants - everything in walking distance from the hotel
Lovely hotel! Food was great, although understaffed, everyone was very nice and offered great service. It was a pleasant surprise to stay in this hotel after a long walk in El Camino de Santiago. I would definitely stay again!

really nice place to stay
Neat and clean, central location to beach, restaurants and market. Nice staff and a special thanks to the nice woman in the morning shift who made coffee for me before breakfast opened!
They accidentally put me in a men’s dorm. Staff solved the problem and gave me a room to myself. Also packed me a lunch when I left early for the Camino. Close to the beach, very nice.
Very clean and comfortable, nice location.There is a nice kitchen and space to hang out. Carla is wonderful and will run clothes in the washing machine and has racks to hang dry .
The check in staff were lovely and friendly.
The kitchen had everything.
There was cake for breakfast.
The room was fab.
More like a hotel than a hostel.
