When we first arrived, we wandered around the Pousada in awe of how beautiful it was. So much history and character and beautiful public rooms and gardens. We were somewhat pleased that the weather was bad on one of the days as it meant we had the excuse to stay in the hotel and enjoy the surroundings. We found the... More

We stayed just for one night but everything was perfect: a very friendly welcome, a spacious room with a view of Guimaraes and good breakfast. The pousada is situated on a hill overlooking the city of Guimaraes, surrounded with a beautiful garden. Also the interior of the building is worthwhile to visit. We walked twice down the hill (20min) to... More

We stayed here last month en route south to the Algarve from Santander. The setting is superb and the welcome warm with good English spoken. Our room was a suite with wonderful views. The bed was comfortable but rather creaky and set on a raised platform which made a trip to the loo in the night a little tricky! We... More

In March we stayed a weekend (2 nights) in this Pousada and it is like sleeping in a castle. The 5th floor is beautiful with all its art and gigantic saloons. Most bedrooms have a beautiful view over the city. Since this year Guimarães is the capital of culture. The city was alive with lots of animation. More

The place was awesome. The rooms and the building itslef have lots of caracther. Worth the visit, also just to drink something. More

We stayed here one night. High above the city, the place has great views. Like the castle we stayed in earlier, these places have a very unique charm as they are old with such interesting history. We had a suite, so we had lots of extra room. The bed was incredibly comfortable and large. Bath had jets. The antique furniture... More

As a family we visited Guimaraes and stayed at this most interesting Pousada of years gone by. Historically impressive with spectacular views of the city below, as the Pousada sits atop on the hill. The hotel staff was impeccable and eager to please. More

This historic pousada was a highlight for us. The location above the city and overlooking the valley below was very picturesque. The grounds behind the building was like the hotel itself, a fascinating place to explore. The many common rooms were spacious and impressive with antique furniture, often found displayed in museums, on which you could sit and read and... More

Staying here for our 20th anniversary. We drove in today, fighting through construction in the middle of the city. GPS could not locate it and we spent extra half-hour driving atop of the mountain, we stumbled onto the right path. Hotel staff says that this is more of a norm, so drive slowly as there are plenty of signs. We... More
