Guest Houses in Guimarães

This hotel accomplishes that rare feat of feeling like luxury without adding a hint of pretension. We stayed for four nights and wished we could have stayed for 10. The hotel is an immaculately restored property in the heart of the old downtown of Guimaraes. The designers were thoughtful with their restoration, in that the hotel is beautiful without ruining the character of the street on which it is situated. There is attention to detail throughout the building, be that in the furnishings, the art and decor, or most notably, the service. The staff at Conquistador Palace made us truly feel at home. Tanya, Soraia and Diana all staffed the front desk and served breakfast and evening drinks with grace, kindness and professionalism. We particularly appreciated Soraia's efforts to go above and beyond by making non-alcoholic cocktails, which she did admirably well. The kitchen and cleaning staff were equally kind and professional. We appreciated Alexis's service and generous attention towards us. The food served at breakfast was a step above what we saw at other excellent properties in Portugal, and it was always a delightful way for us to start our day. The staff also helped advise us as we explored the area around Guimaraes, giving us wonderful dinner ideas and making reservations on our behalf. In all, the stay at Conquistador Palace was the very best part of our two-week trip across Portugal, and we look forward to returning.

The staff was wonderful. The hotel is very centrally located and we were able to easily find parking. Carlos in particular made our stay absolutely delightful. He met us at the beginning when we were a little lost about which way to go and parking rules. He was available by WhatsApp to communicate with us throughout our stay arranging dinner, reservations for us and helping us with exploration plans. We would definitely stay here again.

I am a seasoned traveler and have never enjoyed a more gracious hostess than Fatima. She truly goes above and beyond the call of duty, raises the bar on the meaning of hospitality. What a gem of a place this!

Quinta da Cancela is an amazing place. First of all, the location is beautiful, with vinyards all around, a big lush garden, and a small pool. Then, our room was charming snd cos, And finally, Arthur, our host, was so welcoming and generous with advice regarding the area, with his explanations about wine production and the wine industry, and his heritage stories. We enjoyed his wines as well. Highly recommemded!!!
