We enjoyed our stay with the family and two children, who loved the warm indoor pool. The staff is very welcoming and always available. We loved the breakfast basket and their own red wine. The whole accommodation is very well designed and has a great concept. I look forward to returning one day!

Very active friendly. 4km of beautiful walking trails along each side of the river (total of 8km). The 41km bike path Ecopista was stunning. Mountains are just a few km away with endless trails for biking and hiking.

A beautiful city with a really interesting central area.
A beautiful city with a really interesting central area. There is a waterpark outside the town and plenty of shopping at reasonable prices in the town. You can take a pedal boat on the river and the local government appear to be investing in the river aspect.
The cathedral is a must see and has recently been renovated. Nearby is the museum/art gallery.
There are some really lovely cafés and restaurants with terraces looking out on the river serving traditional pasteries and food.
I would definitely go back for a couple of nights again.

We chose this town for a one-night stay between a house rental in the Minho area and a flight out of Porto. It was a bit of a random choice based on my criteria of a cute and well-priced hotel under an hour from the airport, but the town also has some cool history so we gave it a go.
Upon arrival, we discovered that it was the first night of the town fair! I have been to several fairs in Spain but this was my first in Portugal. It was the same basic vibe - families delighted to see one another, tasty treats from food stands, brightly like rides blaring pop music over the sound of teens screaming. We grabbed ourselves a couple of petite pours of Super Bock and tried Portuguese-style hot dogs, which are packaged in jars or cans and come with lettuce and crispy fried onions; my Chicago-born partner even approved of how good they were! Amarante puts on a good fair, and it takes place along the river so we were able to explore the main streets of town in conjunction with the party.
The only bummer about the fair is that we couldn't get in to see inside of the church, which is of some importance having been built by a saint. I plan to spend more time in Portugal in the coming years, so maybe I will head back to Amarante for an afternoon to take in the monuments.

The staff were young, attentive, and at all times very engaging. Without doubt, they are a great credit to the reputation of the hostel. The interior design and layout of the hostel has been really well thought out and makes for a really relaxing stay. This hostel is absolutely first rate!

There always seems to be lots going on.
There always seems to be lots going on. The town tries to cater for a wide range of interests and the surrounding countryside offers good walks and bike rides. Restaurants are good and on the whole value for money. There is a Michelin star restaurant which we didn't try although it it was recommended.
We love this hotel and will continue to stay here when traveling to Amarante. The location is ideal, so close to everything, but it is very quiet and serene. We brought a friend with us and she was equally impressed. Both rooms were large, with a beautiful view of the patio below and the river. I understand they are closing to remodel after the first of the year, which is good. The carpets could use an update, but I hope they don't change too much as we love the elegance and warmth of this hotel!
Lovely hotel with tasty and fresh interior decoration, excellent situation at old city center by the river Tâmega. Beautiful outing paths at hand, too. The hotel staff made you feel very welcome at first sight, they very helpful through our whole stay. Excellent breakfast. If ever able to return to Amarante this is our obvious choice for hotel again. Ps. There is nice back garden with a pool and sun chairs, unfortunately did not bring our swimsuits.
we loved the enormous, tastefully furnished room, with a fantastic view over the vineyard and distant hills. The restaurant was architecturally very interesting and served tasty food. Very high service level. The hotel consists of several buildings spread over the vineyard at a quite large walking distance from the main building but this was nit a problem at all; the staff would drive you in an electric car there an back, you only needed to call.
Incredible service and a historic house. The host took the time to help us see the house and the history and allowed us a moment of seeing how she grew up. Her grandfather is an accomplished artist and the works displayed throughout the house pay homage to the history. This place is a little piece of magic in Portugal.
Breakfast was simple and perfect and getting to walk the grounds at sunset inspired me.
The space is well decorated, great use of space, everything felt very premium. The location was perfect and peaceful. You can walk to everything you need in Amarante. João was very nice and offered great recommendations for restaurants.
WiFi was great as well.
Also, super easy check-in with the most modern say of unlocking the apartment. You will ask yourself why everyone doesn't use it!
It's a beautiful boutique hotel with large garden and a stunning view on the hills and town. The whole house interior is a manor style antiquities and furniture. The room and the bathroom look royal and are very clean. The hosts are very polite and friendly and offer welcome meal (wine and cheese). Breakfast is very tasty and plentiful and served in marvelous room.
Peso Village made our visit to the Douro Valley a trip to remember and wonderful o every way! The house with its spacious rooms and indoor pool were so very relaxing, we had a romantic dinner by the fire one night.. I’m so glad we did not stay in Pinhao, but chose Peso Village instead. The day exploring Amarante was lovely.. and the drive to Pinhao was beautiful.
I stayed in about 10 places during my three weeks of travel in Portugal. And, this one was my favorite of all of them! This is an impressive building that happens to be adjacent to a five-star hotel and is across the street from the river. It has several rooms with very nice living and dining areas. I love the décor and the breakfast was fantastic!
Old world charm with modern amenities. Lovely location overlooking the river and cathedral in Amarante. Walking distance to restaurants and several small shops.
Comfortable rooms. We booked a room with a large balcony, with French doors, overlooking the river, cathedral and bridge. Lovely.
Good breakfast.
Serviceable staff.
The hotel is very well placed, right by the river: close to the shops, the restaurants, the market. They offer a free parking place behind the hotel. The staff is really friendly and helpful. Awesome view of the river from the back garden. Lovely pool. Very comfortable mattress, clean towels, nice balcony.
This place is so great! From beautiful furnishings, and antiques, to beautiful garden with fruit trees, this Bnb was such a wonderful experience. The best part of course was the hostess! She was so friendly and helpful. Just a note, this place is about 5 min drive from the center of Amarante.
Fabulous location in old town. Parking in public parking lot a few minutes away. The hotel is beautifully renovated. We highly recommend staying at Covelo.
Laura greeted us with a huge smile, was very helpful & friendly.
Thank you Laura, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay
The studio apartment was well presented with a pleasant contemporary interior and well equipped. Comfortable, clean and practical within easy access to the charming town center of Amarante and free parking close to the apartment.
The location in the historical center of Amarante is a perfect and safe place for the car (in the courtyard). The property is a spacious old private building with a small but nice yard. Good restaurants are just around the corner.
Location very good - just 15 minutes from Amarante. Breakfast was pre-supplied the day before, so you could use and then leave at your leisure the next day. Host very friendly. Very clean accommodation. Well done.
Historic buildings and grounds with lots of architectural character. Beautiful setting in the hills above Amarante. Modern interiors. Nice breakfast. Overall excellent value.
