Excellent place to stay in Porto, with character (despite its size), great facilities, helpful staff, generous, quality breakfast, a rooftop bar that stays open until 11.30 pm (but the area remains accessible to customers throughout the night), and a small swimming pool on the rooftop. Also, lots of space for working online. Amazing value for money.

A trully five stars brand new hotel, located în a picturesque neighbourhood on a narrow medieval street, very close to the city center. The staff is really nice and helpful, always with a smile on the face. The breakfast consists of a good selection of chees, ham, homemade yogurt, cereals, eggs, fruits, fresh cakes and pastry. The bread is delicious, you can't stop eating it, take care, ladies! Our room had a nice view over the roofs. We were delighted to find pastry and porto wine upon arriving at the hotel, and fresh fruits in the room during our stay. We shall come back, not only for the lovely Porto, but for this special place. Obrigado!

Norte Region highlights

Porto historic centre

Antique façades and grandiose monuments serve as a background for the city’s modern nightlife in Porto’s uniquely cosmopolitan historic centre.

Peneda-Gerês National Park

Spanning over 70,000 hectares, Peneda-Gerês National Park is flourishing with nature trails that meander through its vibrant flora and fauna.

Touring the Douro River

Glide past breath-taking green slopes, vineyards and mountains while touring this UNESCO World Heritage region by boat or steam locomotive.

Guimarães

Known as the birthplace of the Portuguese nationality, Guimarães demonstrates the country’s progression with its medieval-to-modern day architecture.

Braga's religious heritage

Braga is well-known for its remarkable religious ancestry evident in its sacred monuments like Bom Jesus do Monte sanctuary and Braga Cathedral.

Port wine cellar tours

Sample original barrel-and-bottle-aged Port wine at one of the many riverfront cellars for a true taste of this regional favourite.

Paiva River rafting

Twists, dips, thrills and spills await rafters of all levels at the pristine Pavia River rapids bordered by lush wildlife.

FAQs about hotels in Norte Region

The Essence of Portugal

With fabulous beaches stretching from Caminha by the Spanish border to just south of Espinho, Portugal’s Norte region is known for beautiful scenery and historic cities.

Most Norte hotels on Booking.com are in its UNESCO World Heritage-listed capital Porto (or Oporto). Attractively spread over hills, it has wine cellars storing port from the Douro River Valley vineyards upstream.

Voted one of Portugal’s most liveable cities, Vila Real has the Mateus house overlooking a peaceful pond. Guimarães boasts a UNESCO World Heritage-listed historical centre and is known as the ‘birthplace of the Portugal’. Its stately castle and the Palace of the Dukes of Bragança are well worth a visit.

Bragança itself is by Montesinho Natural Park in north-east Norte, and a keep remains from its former castle. Chaves also has a castle keep and a Roman stone bridge, but unlike Braga, it no longer has remains of its Roman baths, erected over hot springs. Braga’s crowning glory is the Bom Jesus do Monte sanctuary, set high in hills, with a wonderful staircase and garden overlooking the city.

South of Galicia is the beautiful Peneda-Gerês area, Portugal’s only national park, and to its west is Viana do Castelo with its Norte beach hotels set on Blue Flag beaches. Also noteworthy is impressive Basilica de Santa Luzia, surveying the riverfront town below.

We loved our one-bedroom home stay. Our home was in its own private fully fenced yard which was perfect and secure for our dog - he loved staying here too! Everything was fantastic - from the service (via WhatsApp with very quick communication), to the home which had a kitchen with a stove (no oven) and fridge, and came with the most generous and thoughtful welcome gifts, to the facilities including the indoor pool and jacuzzi which was great for our winter holiday. Even the breakfast which is delivered fresh to your door in the morning was of exceptional quality.

Porto is a treasure.

Porto is a treasure. Its cultural history and scenic beauty make the city a unique, charming, and unforgettable destination. Its location also lends itself to tours to surrounding areas, like the Duoro Valley where one can take a variety of tours to port estates, a boat trip, and visit nearby towns. And the food! The Time Out Market and the mercado are a foodie's paradise, but equally, local cafeterias and markets make it easy to eat and drink well at a low cost.

Positives: The location & convenience - metro station walking distance away which was perfect. Parking always available just outside the property was also a bonus. Negatives: The fact that they didn't turn the central heating on was appalling, as it was freezing those days in January - the radiators were off - I had to sleep clothed on the first night, call the property manager on the following day asking for thicker blankets & nearly beg to switch on the central heating. I got the excuse that only 2 rooms were rented therefore they were not putting the heating on for the full house. Eventually they agreed to switch it on for a certain period of the day. Cleanness is also an issue - it isn't great - amongst other issues like, bath very slippery (shower mat needed to avoid accidents); bathroom sink doesn't drain properly; the picture with coffee & teas you can see on the property pictures isn't accurate (there is an expresso coffee machine available but you need to buy capsules if you want coffee).

Excellent restaurants! Braga is known for its restaurants.

Excellent restaurants! Braga is known for its restaurants. I had one of the best meals in my life at Green Harvest (though it is pricy, I thought it was worth the cost. Others who are not looking for something downright startling but wonderful might not agree but)--they made a beet dish that I absolutely adored. And I HATE beets. Braga is a smallish, easy to walk/navigate town with a lot of good restaurants, some very sites, and a cool and tranquil vibe. We were sitting at a cafe and a student group from the university showed up and did a music/dance performance. I am told there are more festivals in Braga than anywhere else in Portugal, but we were there in January so there weren't any during that time.

This small city was an absolute gem - stunning ancient squares and streets filled with lovely cafes and restaurants, altogether not as touristy as it could have been and very easy to walk around. We dined in two of the main squares with traditional Portuguese cuisine and inexpensive wines, and lovely ice cream outlets. We took the cablecar up the hillside and walked back down. We visited the Ducal palace (fantastic reconstruction) and castle (ruin). We could easily have spent a week here relaxing and taking in the atmosphere. And very easy to reach from Oporto.

Intertesting port town with a huge monastery on top of a hill. Loved the restaurants and it is easy to drive to other areas of Northern Portugal from there. The weather was comfortable, too.

Bustling city with plenty of cafes and eateries, slightly off the usual tourist trail. The Castelo de Braganca was well worth a visit. We thought the prices in the city were very reasonable. Watch out if you are using an old satnav - we were directed up a very steep, narrow street which turned out to be a dead end. The reversing down the cobbles and a 37-point turn were a challenge!

This place gets a well-deserved 5 stars—no doubt about it! From the moment we walked in, it felt warm, cozy, and totally like home. It’s huge, sparkling clean, and honestly… it looks even better than in the photos (and that’s saying something!). Usually with apartments that look this good, you think: “Yeah right, too good to be true.” But nope—this one actually turned out to be better than too good! It’s got everything. And I mean everything: coffee machine, iron, washing machine, dishwasher… you name it, it’s there—and all in tip-top shape. We were just the two of us, but there’s more than enough space for 4 or even 6 people to hang out comfortably. And the view… wow. Just wow. Need a room with a view? Look no further—this is the one!
