Hotel Rural Quinta de Novais, hotel in Arouca

This 18th century farmhouse offers an outdoor pool and a lush garden filled with chestnut and oak trees.

I like the view of the garden and the mountain. The room was clean and has a timeless design, an eye for detail. Very friendly staff and relaxed location. A great way to enjoy the view was by sitting on the balcony.

We loved everything about our stay.

Sitting on the balcony in the morning looking at the view, it’s was just wonderful. I also loved having a fully equipped modern kitchen to make a cuppa tea in the morning.

A haven of peace and tranquility. The rooms are very comfortable and everything is very clean and tidy. The lady owner was very nice and had even baked a cake for us on arrival. The property also has a balcony with fabulous views. It is in the perfect location for visiting the Arouca 516 suspension bridge. Would not hesitate to return.

Quinta do Pomar Maior, hotel in Arouca

With an outdoor swimming pool and stunning greenery surrounding it, the Quinta do Pomar maior is an eco-friendly property located in Arouca.

Overall a near perfect experience. The property is very pretty with a rustic feel almost an industrial chique (sometimes makes you wonder if by design or accident). The staff is warm and welcome, catering to every need. The breakfast is nothing short of amazing, putting many four star hotels from major chains to shame. The location is great, close to Arouca, and even in the off season, under heavy rain it's a pleasant space to be in. I believe in the summer the pool is very inviting. I can't compare it to other venues in the area but I believe everyone would be satisfied with Quinta do Pomar Maior and with some small improvements it can deliver the perfect Alojamento Local experience.

The building is clean and nice. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The other rooms such as the kitchen (fully equipped) and living room were decorated very homely. The owner was welcoming and very attentive to our needs! The location is close to the 516 Arouca Bridge and hence, great to start off the Passadiços do Paiva Trailhead. Obrigada!

    Arouca is an interesting town with great scenery on the doorstep. It is a good base from which to explore the geopark and to do the 516 suspension bridge experience. Local restaurants and bars are very good value and there is a genuine feel about the place that this is the real Portugal.

    Great pleasant town to use as a base for surprising variety of walks or swims or river activities in the area. In this area trails are marked out very well for off-road walks with great views and through lovely hamlets. The town itself also houses a variety of museums, supermarkets, shops, and places to drink and eat local treats.

    I went for the 516 bridge and for the river board walk.

    I went for the 516 bridge and for the river board walk. Both met my expectations. However, both the bridge and the board walk are very difficult to find, specially the bridge. I understand that it is protected landscape and they cannot simply build a new road. But at least they could improve the signs on the roads - I found the bridge by mere chance and luck and almost missed the assigned time scheduling - and it is very stressful and frustrating to look for the entrance to those two things. I know this is a common problem on this country (lack of proper signs on the roads seems to be a cultural point of honor, just like cod fish dishes), but enough is enough. The stress and frustration of looking for the places can easily ruin the experience and no one wants that. GPS may not be as helpful as one might think on non-urban environment. New tourists: be advised for this and allocate enough time in your timetable for searching and arrival for this two attractions.

    Crossing the 516 Arouca bridge is a must if you don't have a fear of heights! Be warned that there is a 1+km steep downhill walk from the parking lot to the start of the bridge at the Alvarenga entry. Also, if you take the Paiva Walkways after crossing the bridge, the toilets are 4.4 km in, so I suggest that the park put in toilets at the end of the bridge before the walkways. The posta de vitela at Assembleia restaurant is of high quality. Vegetarian options are so-so, as is true in most restaurants in Portugal.

    I was mostly in between nature. As long as it's kept like this and the aesthetic of the place is maintained ... all is great! :) Fortunately, because of this, I didn't see many modern houses, which was great!!! :))

    Absolutely fantastic place, everything is gorgeous, it’s so relaxing and watching the animals on the balcony with my breakfast was amazing. We were so lucky to have found this little gem. Tony was an amazing host, so friendly, informative and helpful. He really made our stay perfect. We can’t wait to come back. Really couldn’t recommend enough. Thank you ☺️ Oh and I forgot to add just how wonderful it was to eat fresh warm bread that was delivered to our penthouse for breakfast. We wished we had booked more nights here.

    Apartment is located in a very beautiful and quiet surrounding, it has excellent outdoor areas. Sr Manuel showed us the way from Arouca onwards, provided excellent information about the Passadicos and the Ponte Arouca 516. He also organized transport to/from Passadicos and the bridge and to the major sightseeing points around Arouca. All in all, top service and hospitality from the beginning to the end!

    It was beautifully decorated (fresh, clean and comfortable), and Patricia (the Manager) was delightful and most helpful). The views were wonderful as well. We had a leisurely 10 minute walk into town for dinner at Assembleia, and Nino took good care of us with a lovely meal and wine selection. Arouca seems like a charming community, and we wish we could have stayed longer.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Casa da Cavada. The house is in a stunning location over looking the Paiva river valley below. Our kids enjoyed exploring the interesting garden. The house is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. If we are ever back in Espiunca or Arouca we will definitely look to stay here again.

    Great location for Arouca GeoPark activities. Short drive to everything and short walk to center of Arouca for restaurants, cafés and groceries. Excellent buffet breakfast that also included scrambled eggs and bacon along with the customary cheese, meats, juice, cereal, etc. Basic clean, air conditioned hotel room.

    Excellent apartment very modern and thoroughly equipped with electrical appliances and furniture. Excellent location right by Arouca downtown with easy access to local business and restaurants. I like TV, but the one at the apartment was not connected to any service. I score this lodging at 9.5 for this reason.

    Good location close to Arouca. Quiet with very little traffic noise. Well equipped kitchen with a good-sized refrigerator. Retro decoration with old books, rotary phone and 60’s vintage microscope; the internet was fast and reliable. Swimming pool and the host gave us some fresh eggs from her hen house.

    Lot of variety at breakfast and they let us have it earlier for our 10:00 appointment at 516 Arouca. Very good recommendations for restaurants. Nice, informal garden with lots of apple trees. Pool was refreshing and adequate in size. Room 11 had a window overlooking the stream.
