The hotel was in a quiet location but within minutes walk of the River Douro and all its facilities, restaurants, entertainment, and with lots of things to see and do. We found it a relaxing haven to get away from the crowds. Tea and coffee- making facilities were provided in our room, which was quite spacious. There was an excellent choice for breakfast to suit all tastes. Above all we found all the staff to be very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. We stayed there on two separate occasions both before and after our river cruise and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Very friendly staff. Clean, comfortable, modern room. I had a small terrace which was also nice. They provided a fruit basket as a welcome gift which was most appreciated. Great breakfast and the hotel's restaurant is also nice, glad I had dinner there one night. Been so close to some major tourist attractions was also awesome.

From the moment we stepped in to the Rebello, we felt warmly received and the hotel was very welcoming. The decor is simple but up to date, and well maintained.

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.

I recently stayed at Sin Sexes Hotel in Douro, and it was an unforgettable experience. The breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape were absolutely stunning, making every moment feel like a dream. The bed was extremely comfortable, providing a perfect night's sleep, and the spa facilities were top-notch, offering a truly relaxing retreat.The breakfast was delicious, with a variety of options to suit all tastes. Additionally, the proximity to local wineries was a fantastic bonus. The wines we tasted were exceptional, adding to the overall charm of our stay.The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any requests and ensure we had a pleasant stay.I highly recommend Sin Sexes Hotel for anyone looking for a luxurious and serene getaway in Douro. It truly exceeded all our expectations.

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.

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!
