This is a lovely hotel, with charming staff. The rooms are large (beware the step to the raised area by the window). In March the rooms were very warm, and we had to open the windows. Breakfasts were great - the best of our trip. Dinners were good, but would have been even better with a little more attention to... More

We stayed at this pousada for 2 nights of our 15 tour. Parking is on a side street just inside the old town...just let the guard know you are registered at the pousada and he'll drop the chain blocking the road. Rolled our bags 100 yards to the pousada. You can drive to the pousada in early AM or late... More

This is a charming pousada conveniently located in the heart of the historic town of Guimaraes. The hotel overlooks one of the primary squares and is a short walk to the Yellow Bus Tour stop. The rooms are large and nicely furnished with period pieces. The breakfast is plentiful and satisfying. Internet service is erratic, but don't come here to... More

Very traditional Pousada, perfectly located in the heart of Guimaraes for a cultural visit, walking distance to all attractions in town. Our room was spacious and comfortable, with high ceilings and many original features, overlooking the main square, bathroom would need a bit of modernisation but was clean and big. Buffet with good selection of food and juices for breakfast.... More

Prior to staying at this Pausada we had stayed in 3 others. To be honest this hotel was quite disappointing to the point that although we had booked for 3 nights we checked out after 2. As other reviewers have noted this hotel is very hard to find. You must park some distance away and walk down a very narrow... More

We were interested in learning about the history in the area and found this Pousada online. Typically old manor or stately homes that are now used as hotels it was like stepping back in time, a granite building with wooden interiors, exactly fitting with its location, right in the centre of the old town of Guimareas, birthplace of the nation,...

As previous reviewers have noted, it is not too easy to gat here by car! When we arrived, many of the surrounding streets were being dug up, so there are some traffic issues. Fortunately, we stopped to consult our map right outside the Tourisi Info Centre, so my wife went in and was given extremely detailed and accurate instructions. Because... More

This pousada is ideally located in the heart of the old town. The key sites can be explored on foot from here, as can the nearby outside bars and restaurants. The pousada is charming. Staff are great. Slight downside is that the rooms are dark but that's about the only downside. The breakfast was served in a lovely room overlooking... More

Located in the historic centre, this is a well-run hotel. Our room had fairly comfortable beds, beautiful polished wooden floors and a well designed bathroom. The staff were mostly helpful and efficient. Breakfast was taken in a lovely dining room overlooking one of the main squares; plentiful and varied… some very soft but irritating muzak. Free wifi is available in... More
