Despite its small size, this apartment is really wonderfully furnished and organized, with a beautiful balcony... we stayed there 4 nights, busy with many public initiatives we had to accomplish with friends and colleagues working in local schools. The apt. is at the very core of the beautiful Amarante, that by the way allows you also to get to and from Porto just in 40 minutes by coach. We also suggest having a lunch or dinner at Tasquinha na Ponto, right after the historical bridge that is 3 minutes by foot from the apartment. We thank the apt. owner for his kindness, he satisfied all our special requests.

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.
Sergio was an excellent host and really made our stay a delight. With his recommendations we were able to explore the area and have a real sense for the countryside near Amarante. Of all our stays in Portugal this gave us the best sense of what it would be like to live here. The guest house was clean and the beds were excellent. There were dogs and cats on premise that we all enjoyed but something to be aware of if you were not an animal lover. The guest house was warm but extra fans were provided. Thank you Sergio!
Really great hotel: excellent staff, from reception, the restaurant, the cleaning staff - all went out of their way to give great service and it felt like they really meant it.
Room was beautiful, restaurant was very good for both breakfast and dinner.
Location is enchanting. beautiful village, great things to do in the area and very relaxing.
All of the details were there - just an awesome place!
Hotel deserves it's 5 stars and more, hope we have the opportunity to return!
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 must hotel stay in Amarante! We truly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful boutique hotel in a beautiful part of Portugal! We plan to return to this hotel and area to spend more time exploring the wineries, town and overall nearby Douro region. A big thanks to the hotel staff in the restaurant, front desk and housekeeping for helping make our experience memorable and relaxing.
The property was very nicely located close to the heritage bridge and river. The room we had number 7 was very comfortable and cute. The room had a balcony with a view of the river and the old convent. The bed was very comfortable and we had a very enjoyable stay in Amarante. The breakfast was very nice and the staff at the restaurant where the breakfast was served were wonderful.
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.
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
Obrigada!!!!
This is an amazing place. A beautiful mansion, with elegantly furnished rooms. Luisa is a sweet and lively host. She took care of us from the moment we arrived! This is the nicest place we stayed in Portugal (and we stayed in many excellent places). This is an excellent base to explore th Douro valley and its surroundings (a car is a must).
The staff was amiable and courteous! Special mention to Daniel who went out of his way to help us with our air-con unit which had stopped working and he managed to make it work again. The swimming pool area was lovely and the hotel is in the city center. The rooms were spacious, well-lit and spotless!
Exceptional staff. Very quiet location. Beautiful property.
Pool area looked very inviting, but it was a bit chilly to use. Thoughtfully restored family farm with tasteful attention to detail. It's a little away from Amarante proper but an easy drive into town through the beautiful countryside.?
The hotel is easy to find and located centrally.
The is a large free car park located nearby.
The reception staff were friendly and efficient.
The room was large, comfortable and well equipped.
There are many good bars and restaurants nearby.
The breakfast was buffet style and good.
The most beautiful hotel we've been to in Portugal. The hosts were really welcoming. They gave us cheese, quince jelly and vino verde when we arrived. The rooms themselves were out of a fantasy novel! And the breakfast was the best one we had so far.
The property is a stunning piece of architecture with beautiful furniture pottery, we felt so at home. Gardens are beautiful very private with a pool, views from the hotel are beautiful. Staff were so friendly and helpful, Suzanna was lovely.
A nice hotel with great kitchen that guests can use, good breakfast, pleasant little pool and usually easy and free parking (now there is roadworks, so I had to walk a bit from the nearby park, but not a big deal).
It could be nice to have breakfast included, as the chocolate cake was DELICIOUS! The room, view, bar, confort of the bed, hight silling, double balcony, hosting, was all amazing! We loved it, and loved Amarante!
The view from the balcony is great. The house is located in de centre of Amarante. A nice host who recommended two exelent restaurants (and made reservations for us). Great place!
the rooms were beautiful with great ambiance and setting in the vineyards of Portugal. perfect for a couple. beautiful bar and great weekend trip from Porto.
