Travelers' Choice
The lemon yellow façades of the Casa da Calçada are a clue to the sunny stay that awaits you at this hotel. Situated at the heart of the town of Amarante, between the bustle of Porto and the sun‑dappled countryside of the Douro Valley (both less than 40 minutes away), this hotel with its golden interiors is a favourite with those who love beauty, golfers (there is a splendid 18-hole course nearby) and fans of great food and wines. The Largo do Paco Restaurant, awarded with the famous 1* Michelin Restaurant, is waiting for you to show you the high Portuguese gatronomy. The proposed visit to the region’s best wine “quintas” will ensure that you never forget the differences between Tawny, Ruby, White or Vintage Port.

Fabulous hotel in a gorgeous building and setting in the lovely town of Amarante. This hotel was excellent in every way and we enjoyed our beautiful room, the delicious breakfasts and lunch, drinks in the bar and out on the terrace as well as the lovely grounds around the pool area. It was too cool to swim but we really enjoyed relaxing by the pool in the sun with a lovely bottle of wine. Attentive and very helpful staff. Highly recommend this beautiful hotel.

This hotel really lived up to its reputation. It’s elegant, wonderful staff, superb rooms (you must book a river view room), and you MUST EAT AT LARGO DO PALCO. Its a Michelin star restaurant, and It’s one of the main reasons we stayed there. We were astounded at the chefs creativity and the incredible flavors he was able to create with each course. AMAZING!!!! Go there for even one day like we did. You won’t be disappointed!!!

We were on a long 3+ week driving trip through Spain and Portugal and were looking for a place for our final stop before heading to Morocco. The Casa da Calcada was a perfect hotel to recharge before our next leg. The hotel is set inside a secluded compound that makes you feel like you have arrived in a special place. The staff greeted us upon arrival and from that point on, they took care of us in every detail. The dining facilities were great (there is a Michelin rated restaurant here!). The room was clean, spacious, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The bed was great and the bathroom was excellent. We had high expectations with the Relais & Chateaux brand and Casa da Calcada dit not disappoint. Will return to this hotel on any future stop in Aramante. P.S. The staff even proactively emailed us before our arrival with alternate driving instructions due to some road work near the hotel...that's client service!…

We had a delightful stay at this well appointed Relais Chateau hotel and we’re glad to get a table at their Michelin restaurant. The staff were all professional and hospitable. The only downside is departing back to the real world.

Casa da Calcada is one of the great hotels of the world. I do not exaggerate. We have been all over the world, North to South, East to West, in many years of traveling. Everything about the Casa da Calcada is outstanding. The location, the staff, the rooms, the restaurants. The staff were extraordinarily helpful. There are two restaurants, one with a Michelin star. Both are outstanding, simply magnificent. Our room overlooked the river and the city. Excellent view. It was very quiet. Everything worked perfectly, even the air conditioning dealing with 100+ F. All the staff were very helpful. They made tour recommendations for us which we followed and were very pleased with. They made a lunch reservation for us in a nearby restaurant which was fine. If we can go to one hotel again, this is it. …

We visited this hotel for our friends’ birthday party over a weekend. The staff were friendly, fun and couldn’t do enough for us. The rooms were exquisite, the food superb and the location was idyllic. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. If you can, go there and treat yourself. You won’t regret it.

What a lovely hotel. It’s immaculate. The service is impeccable, the location perfect. The pool area is one of the most beautiful I have ever experienced. We dined in the attached Michelin starred restaurant which was superb. The hotel has some mountain bikes which we used on the converted railway track (upstream) as well as the riverbank tracks ( downstream) both great rides with spectacular scenery. Amarante itself has a nice vibe which got better over time.

Because of a tight itinerary, we could stay here only one night, which is not enough time to appreciate this property. It occupies a strategic, central site in the town. Located in front of the Ponte de Sao Goncalo with the Sao Goncalo Church on the other side of the bridge, its yellow facade and walls are eye-catching. We were in room 202, a large executive room with huge bed, walk in closet, safe, slippers, bathrobes, sofa, and bidet. Every aspect oozed five-star. The 7:30 breakfast was to die for. Bravo. Thank you, Teresa!
