Very active friendly. 4km of beautiful walking trails along each side of the river (total of 8km). The 41km bike path Ecopista was stunning. Mountains are just a few km away with endless trails for biking and hiking.

A beautiful city with a really interesting central area.
A beautiful city with a really interesting central area. There is a waterpark outside the town and plenty of shopping at reasonable prices in the town. You can take a pedal boat on the river and the local government appear to be investing in the river aspect.
The cathedral is a must see and has recently been renovated. Nearby is the museum/art gallery.
There are some really lovely cafés and restaurants with terraces looking out on the river serving traditional pasteries and food.
I would definitely go back for a couple of nights again.

We chose this town for a one-night stay between a house rental in the Minho area and a flight out of Porto. It was a bit of a random choice based on my criteria of a cute and well-priced hotel under an hour from the airport, but the town also has some cool history so we gave it a go.
Upon arrival, we discovered that it was the first night of the town fair! I have been to several fairs in Spain but this was my first in Portugal. It was the same basic vibe - families delighted to see one another, tasty treats from food stands, brightly like rides blaring pop music over the sound of teens screaming. We grabbed ourselves a couple of petite pours of Super Bock and tried Portuguese-style hot dogs, which are packaged in jars or cans and come with lettuce and crispy fried onions; my Chicago-born partner even approved of how good they were! Amarante puts on a good fair, and it takes place along the river so we were able to explore the main streets of town in conjunction with the party.
The only bummer about the fair is that we couldn't get in to see inside of the church, which is of some importance having been built by a saint. I plan to spend more time in Portugal in the coming years, so maybe I will head back to Amarante for an afternoon to take in the monuments.

The staff were young, attentive, and at all times very engaging. Without doubt, they are a great credit to the reputation of the hostel. The interior design and layout of the hostel has been really well thought out and makes for a really relaxing stay. This hostel is absolutely first rate!

There always seems to be lots going on.
There always seems to be lots going on. The town tries to cater for a wide range of interests and the surrounding countryside offers good walks and bike rides. Restaurants are good and on the whole value for money. There is a Michelin star restaurant which we didn't try although it it was recommended.
If you are visiting Amarante this is the best spot there is. Beautifully restored and designed interior with a great private cafe/bar overlooking the river. Forget the rail cycleway, just walk from hotel downstream to the aqua park, then uphill a little and back along the old railway line. Stop for lunch at Amarantinho Restaurant up the steep hill from the old Fregim railway station - just have what the locals are having - fantastic simple food and bargain prices.
The house is elegant and spacious and the patio is very pleasant, as was the host. It was spotlessly clean and well-equipped, with aircon and big, comfortable beds. Amarante is a charming town that is in a good position to explore other parts of the region. As the house is in the suburbs in the hills, the 25 minute walk down into the town is very steep, but there are buses and taxis to get back up if you don't want to drive.
If you stay in the suites with the private pool, you will feel like you are alone in the hotel, a completely quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Different from other hotels, the tasting menus are FULL size plates, so prepare yourself to eat very well and be very full. 😉 The staff is really helpful and kind. Last but not least the wines are amazing, and you will find them everywhere, in your room, restaurant, even in the spa.
Incredible service and a historic house. The host took the time to help us see the house and the history and allowed us a moment of seeing how she grew up. Her grandfather is an accomplished artist and the works displayed throughout the house pay homage to the history. This place is a little piece of magic in Portugal.
Breakfast was simple and perfect and getting to walk the grounds at sunset inspired me.
The space is well decorated, great use of space, everything felt very premium. The location was perfect and peaceful. You can walk to everything you need in Amarante. João was very nice and offered great recommendations for restaurants.
WiFi was great as well.
Also, super easy check-in with the most modern say of unlocking the apartment. You will ask yourself why everyone doesn't use it!
This is a beautiful hotel on a beautiful property in a lovely town in the Douro valley. The staff could not have been more helpful or accommodating. We had both a sumptuous dinner and a delicious breakfast. In the morning we had a nice walk around the grounds, and had it not been drizzling, we would have enjoyed the tranquil swimming pool that is set in the hotel's vineyard. Great stay.
We were met at the apartment to get the door entry codes. Accommodations were very tastefully decorated. It was furnished with a combination washer/dryer that was unfamiliar but much appreciated. The building was quiet, we could see the river from our apartment. The location was very close to the river and bridge. Highly recommend this accommodation for your stay in Amarante.
Peso Village made our visit to the Douro Valley a trip to remember and wonderful o every way! The house with its spacious rooms and indoor pool were so very relaxing, we had a romantic dinner by the fire one night.. I’m so glad we did not stay in Pinhao, but chose Peso Village instead. The day exploring Amarante was lovely.. and the drive to Pinhao was beautiful.
Comfortable and quiet hotel in best location on the Tamega river. Most friendly and attentive service from reception to dinner and breakfast. My friend got an hair stylist appointmenr immediately. Romantic walkings along the river and in the old city. Nice specialty shops and atmosphere, clean streets.
Michelin star restaurant in house is an absolute must.
I stayed in about 10 places during my three weeks of travel in Portugal. And, this one was my favorite of all of them! This is an impressive building that happens to be adjacent to a five-star hotel and is across the street from the river. It has several rooms with very nice living and dining areas. I love the décor and the breakfast was fantastic!
super clean apartment, easy to find, comfortable bed. Very clear instructions on getting in and check-in.
Very close to walking around the town of Amarante and short drive to waterpark.
As additional bonus we had welcome gift of fresh juices, water and wine in the fridge.
Will definitely come back when next time in the area
