“Our welcome was lovely and very attentive from the owner himself, he carried our bags and was very helpful. The young lady who was there at breakfast was also very helpful and the coffee was the very best we had. A serious bonus was the orange juice which was freshly squeezed. Perfect!” Read more

“Breakfast is always an important part of my stay & this one was incredible. An amazing spread of top quality produce, a jug of freshly squeezed orange juice, fresh fruit, coffee, yoghurt, crispy bread rolls, cheese, quince jelly & the home made orange cake was divine. Location was bang splat in the centre which was ideal, the room was gorgeous, traditional with a clean modern twist, beds were super comfy, the shower was perfect I could have stayed in there for hours. The entire hotel was very tasteful & authentic. The dining room was beautiful, set out like a museum showing the artefacts of the market store it once was. The attention to detail was delightful & the front of house was very welcoming, warm & absolutely charming, super helpful & friendly.” Read more

“This beautiful little guesthouse was formerly a little supermarket, and has somehow managed to keep the lovely historic value while still ensuring their guests’ comfort. Lovely linen, and a breakfast with home baked orange cake and great coffee added to our lovely stay here. We did the Camino and enjoyed a rest day at this wonderfully located gem, which also boasts a great bakery just up the street. We’ll be back!” Read more

“My sister and I stayed for two nights in the Cinnamon Room which overlooked the church and onto the river. There was nothing we did not love about the Mercearia da Vila. The owner and his family were so kind and always provided an impeccable service to ensure a comfortable stay. We especially liked having breakfast in the old Mercearia, which offered local produce, a nice selection of breads, cheeses and fruits, together with freshly squeezed orange juice and home made cake, honey and jams. And the coffee was good too! On our next visit to Ponte de Lima, we will definitely stay here again!” Read more

“We stayed here in the top floor room (white)- which was stunning, large and had a great view. It was a great place to recharge for a few days during our Camino walk. Enjoyed breakfast and our hosts.”

“The hosts were very kind to us after a long day on the Camino. The whole place is beautifully decorated and the view across the square from our room was fantastic. The breakfast was excellent.”

“This is the most magnificent place to stay. Rooms are delightful, the host is the warmest, most welcoming man. This place has been in the family for generations and everything is done with so much love and care. The breakfast was also delicious. ”
