My spouse and I stayed 3 nights in this palace and recommend the hotel and the town. As we approached the building we were spellbound by this magical palace, its gates, its presence as it sits gracefully across from a centuries old stone bridge used to hold off Napoleon's troops 200 years ago. The rooms and the common areas are... more

We were two families and stayed at the hotel for 4 nights and loved every minute of our stay. The hotel is very well-equipped with very spacious rooms and staff are very attentive and helpful. The swimming pool was a great place to relax and breakfast was a feast.. Amarante is big enough to offer different options for places to... more

Very nice place in the North of Portugal.

The location can not be beat partiularly if you... more

We spent one night at this hotel. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. The hotel is very well placed for exploring Amarante and was easy to locate when arriving by car. We had a lovely lunch in their restaurant. We would stay here again. more

We booked a 2-night package which included dinner at the in-house restaurant - something we would recommend as the food was some of the best we have experienced. The staff were excellent - friendly, knowledgable and helpful. When we arrived we found our... more

We chose this hotel for three reasons: it is one of the few Relais & Chateaux properties in Portugal, it is very well located and it offered an attractive rate during the low season. We had a very nice room overlooking the Roman bridge and the church. One day we went east and visited the Douro Valley. The next day... more

This was the third hotel on our tour and we stayed here for 2 nights, but would definitely have liked to stay for longer. It is a lovely hotel in a very pretty little town. The driveway is narrow and steep so we were very impressed that our minibus managed to squeeze in. The bar and reception areas are very... more
