Very good location in Porto. Sightseeing places just walk distance, restaurants and supermarkets nearby. The hotel includes pleasure facilities, still many things to do if you just stay inside the hotel.

Pet friendly (they gave us bowls and a blanket to keep) and super helpful and kind staff. Location is in the centre which makes everything easy to reach by foot. All facilities clean. The pool is small but warm and when we went, we were all alone. The hammam and sauna are great too and very enjoyable. The breakfast was exceptional - huge variety even for vegans. The champagne and treats on arrival are also a nice touch!

Norte Region highlights

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

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.

A true paradise in the nature, in a super stylish cabins, and most amazing hosts. Every detail warmed the heart, you enter the bungalow and bottle of whine with a cake is waiting for you, 10minutes after it stars raining, hosts nocks at your doors with sturdy umbrellas. We were extremely unlucky with a weather, but cabin was so beautiful, surrounded by the wonderful nature, local cat visited us and stayed with us for the whole night and we used inside pool with an amazing view to the hills, so we were not even sorry that we couldn’t get outside for 3days:)

Lovely place unfortunately had bad weather but would love to come back with the sunshine. Very warm welcome from Cidalia and her son who is simply a very good Chef as well. We had a great dinner cooked for us and enjoyed their tapas the following day. The room with spa bath is big and have a wonderful view. We would have liked to enjoy the private terrasse overlooking the river but rain didn’t allow it! I can only highly recommend this place it’s a great choice but you’ll need to drive to dine out or best choice is to choose their tapas!

The hotel is architecturally stunning. It’s felt like an extremely exclusive venue, but at a reasonably price. The breakfast was phenomenal, in a beautiful room, with attentive staff and the views matched it. Lastly, we were amazed to discover a small farm which helps supply the hotel, the baby goats were extremely cute and I tried to draw no relation in my mind to the slow cooked leg we had the night before! Brilliant experience

Live music on the waterfront over a great meal and wine! THE MARKET for a true culinary destination! Beautiful streets, helpful people. The food quality was always good and we went in May, so although it was spring and we got some rain, the temps were good and it wasn't very crowded. I imagine summer months would be harder to get a table to eat or navigate the streets as easily

Viana do Castelo was a charming surprise. The hotel we stayed at was a little out of the way, so at first we were disappointed with the town, but once we walked into the historic center, it was really great. Also, the church at the top of the hill is a great building to see and a great vantage point.

Subway is in basement of OPO Airport & OPO is a Beautiful Airport. Beware that Airport Taxis are expensive (paid 40 Euros to the Center of Porto, whereas the subway would have been much cheaper). We spent only 1 night here, because our flight departed early, but our Porto stay was wonderful! We stayed in the city directly, too. Porto is worth visiting! I would go again!

We chose Braga as a base to visit The National Park of Peneda Geres (impressive), Ponte de Lima (very pretty), and Viana do Castelo (well worth a visit) so we did not spend much time in Braga. However a visit to the staircase at Bom Jesus do Monte is definitely worthwhile, along with the nearby Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sameiro. First-time travellers to the region should also try to visit Barcelos, and Guimaraes (the birthplace of Portugal).

Esposende is the perfect place from where to explore northwestern Portugal. It's a quite town that offers all the necessary services. Many beaches nearby. Ofir beach south of the river is our favorite, but there are many beaches north of Esposende as well, with paths along the dunes and the pine forests. The local cuisine is wonderful, the sushi and pizza places were horrible.

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!

Vila do Conde is a charming town that is a far cry from the hustle and bustle of a large city, if that is what you are used to, or looking to get away from. There are many good restaurants in the area. We hired a car for the duration of our stay as we wanted to travel further afield whilst adding stops along the way and choosing the most scenic routes.
