A cosy little "Pousada" with only 18 rooms (different sizes and different views so you should ask for a room with a view to the Spanish town Tuy, that is at the other side of the Minho river...). Very friendly service, expensive meals (and the room price is also not cheap...), needing anupgrade of the decoration, but with a superb... More

It's not everyday that one drives through a fortress with gates and narrow cobblestoned roads that turn here and there overlooking the countryside of Spain and the north of Portugal in search of a pousada !

Sorry but this place is a disappointment. We could not enter the castle when we arrived, because the Portuguese police did not allow us. Secondly, we got a very dark room with only a little window. Finally service is friendly, however, way too slow. Too expensive for what you get. More

The pictures of the pousada de valenca do minho do not do it justice. Standing on the edge of the Fortifications, overlooking the river and the Spanish Town this Pousada built around 1942 is a gem. The rooms are clean and comfortable and ours (101) had a balcony overlooking the river, with spectacular views which could be seen from the... More

I have nothing bad to say about Sao Teotonio. I really can't imagine why anyone would stay anywhere else. First of all, it is inside the fortress town on the hill in Valenca, tucked away in a tangle of cobble stone streets and picturesque squares. Second, the hotel is beautiful, with insane views of the river and valley, cozy seating... More

The room at the pousada was very comfortable and clean, with views over the river and Spain on the bank across. I... More

I chose this inn knowing nothing about it. I turned out to be a perfect little inn. It's not at all different from a hotel. Impeccably clean, with friendly staff, great room, comfortable bed and perfect view and location. The inn is inside an old fortress and the little town in the fortress is sweet and very old. More
