we were arrived at the Rebello when the total block out struck and it was so difficult to get food. we were ushered into our room with the very pleasant and welcoming staff. you could see they were doing the best to make us feel comfortable. the room was very spacious and with very good amenities. it was clean and very homey. we were tole that at 830 pm they would serve paella dinner at the roof top. upon dinner time we were amazed that they set up the place like there was a party and served paella salad and meat. the staff were very pleasant and reassuring and i commend them for that. for a weary international traveller to be assured and taken care off they were really amazing and worthy of commendation.

I recently stayed at this newly built hotel located in the very center of Porto, and it was an excellent experience overall. The hotel boasts a great designer interior, where it’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into every detail of the decor. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating, always going above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. Their attentiveness truly made a difference. The location is perfect for exploring Porto’s main attractions on foot. The hotel also features a nice restaurant with a delightful menu, as well as a large indoor pool—ideal for unwinding after a day of sightseeing. If you're looking for a stylish stay with excellent amenities and a prime location, this hotel is a great choice!

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.

Quinta de Santa Marinha is an exceptional experience: the unique and marvelous location overlooking the Douro valley, an outstanding architecture with a lot of sentiment to the environment and, most importantly, the hosts make you feel very very welcome, give you plenty of background and recommendations (if you wish to receive). We were lucky to enjoy breakfast and dinner prepared by the decorated young Chef.

The Port Cellars were worth going to.

The Port Cellars were worth going to. Weather was terrible when I was there so couln't do the vineyard tours or any outdoor attractions. Slighty surprised that a lot of Old Porto is quite shabby and derelict and rundown especially going down the hill to the river on the Porto side. There is also a lot of building works in the middle of town all round the Sao Bento train station area.

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.

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).

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. Be sure to bring Euros for tram ride to monastery. We went there to rest and relax between our Spain and Portugal tours.

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.

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!
