A new hotel in a great location, walking distance from the city centre and the main attractions. The area around felt safe. The hotel staff was friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was really good, highly recommend having breakfast in the hotel - they even had mini pasteis de nata. The room was spacious and clean. And there is also a nice rooftop bar/terrace with a small swimming pool. We only went to check the view as it was quite cold outside during our stay. In summer it would be lovely to spend a few hours there, especially at sunset.

The reception staff, the girl you checked us in, showed us to our room, unfortunately, dont remember her name, please identify her, and share my thoughts about her. my Room was 07, so i was renamed James Bond 007, my favorite character. Rest of the staff too, was exceptional. Pool, though, not used, was special. we were allowed a late check out, our entire departure was sorted out & had a pleasant departure. The decoration/paintings on the wall, were exquisite.

Extremely nice, new hotel, with very friendly staff. Pool was amazing, breakfast as well, rooms spaceous enough for the three of us (baby crib inside). Little bit outside of the city center (20 min walk), but for us this was perfect, as thw center is quite crowded. Recommend it 100%, would stay here again if I come to Porto!

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.

Santa Luzia Sanctuary

The splendour of this byzantine sanctuary is equally matched by the glorious views over Viana do Castelo and the Limia River estuary.

Our Lady of Remedies Sanctuary

Sitting at the top of an impressive 9-flight, zigzagging staircase decorated with blue-hued azulejo tiles is this splendid baroque-style sanctuary.

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.

The location is beautiful. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The aircondition was not working in the room. All efforts were made by the staff to get it sorted and in the end we were upgraded to a suit. Nuno was very helpfull and did his best to make our stay pleasant. Amazing views on the 6th floor rooms, with a small private garden. The spa experience was great. Breakfast layout was great with good selection of food. We enjoyed dinner in the restaurant as well but felt it was bit expensive.

Pet friendly accomodation was our key factor, also this feel of entire and fully equipped rural house gave a sense of how people live in this area. We got really hooked up by the chimney and setting up the fireplace. It's very remote from everything surrounded by the mountains. There is a bakery in the nearby Rouças village which is the only place where it's possible to buy bread. Everything else needs to purchased before coming here.

The room was comfortable - they even provide flip flops to wear down to the spa. And we were able to find a pair of shoes for my husband in the shop.

It has a lot of history, with older churches and castle fortresses. Very walkable and scenic. I was told by a Portuguese local early in my trip that Braga has a lot of older retirees visit and reside there, and that's accurate. I found Braga affordable, although housing costs can be too much.

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.

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!

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!
