Excellent! This hotel is a fantastic relaxing experience! It is located in front of the River Tamega, with excellent views of the old part of the city of Amarante. Conveniently located about 30 minutes from Oporto's airport Sa Carneiro, the hotel was originally built as a palace but has been recently renovated. The check-in process was easy and professional.

This was originally a palace from the 16th century. The ground floor rooms for dining and sitting are beautifully appointed with art and antiques. There is an outdoor terrace and some... more

We had a great experience here, as the hotel upgraded us to a suite, which had a fabulous corner view through 3 giant windows out across the river to the old center of Amarante. The room decorations were very lavish (red velvet, gilded furniture, etc.) and we enjoyed the separate study and huge bathroom. Just check our photos, and you'll... more

We recently stayed at this hotel for 3 nights as part of a Page & Moy Tour. Expecting the hotel to be the best hotel of the tour, we were disappointed at the outset when we found that our coach was not able to drive up to the hotel. We therefore had to carry our hand luggage approx 150 yards... more

We stayed here for 3 nights in Sept 04. Staff friendly, the suite we had was wonderful with old period furnishings. Bathroom large and beautiful. The hotel itself is really nice and gives you a feeling of peace of tranquillity. The pool area is private and quiet. The restaurant was the best for us. The food was superb and the... more

On Christmas day we had lunch at the restaurant in Casa de la Calcada. We did not spend the night there, but we liked what we saw. Beautiful lobby and seating areas upholstered with rich fabrics which make them very comfortable and inviting. The restaurant was also beautiful, and what's more important the food was great. There was a four... more
