This was an exceptional five star 'hotel' experience in a beautifully renovated house. The attention to detail in the renovation, the interiors and the presentation has to be admired and in my case was fully appreciated. A wonderful experience in Penha. A plentiful fresh breakfast was looked after by Sara with a caring smile.
Best of all you, after breakfast you see Penha which is on your doorstep and then travel down to Guimaraes.

I'm Portuguese therefore I know all the country and to me Guimarães is, along with Porto, the most beautiful city in my country! It's historical centre is magnificent! The castle, the palace, Largo da Oliveira and the surrounding streets and historical buildings make us feel like we are in the middle ages! It's truly magical!

Historic Center is good with lots of restaurants and courtyards. The cable car to the top of the mountain is a must do. It is 7.5 euros return. Residents take a lot of pride in their city. Most of the tourists are Portueguese . Prices are less than in the Algarve. Appears to be great bus service, but everything within walking distance.

Guimarães is an acient town where Portugal originated. It is quite small. It's enough for the Visitors who don't have any specific plans to spend 1 whole day to see all the most important historical sites in this city.

Some locals call it "The Heart of Portugal" because what became the country of Portugal began it's fight for liberation from Moorish Occupation here. The castle from then is still standing and is currently undergoing extensive renovation. The old city center is nicely preserved and is very walkable. Regional food is hearty and very tasty. While it is touristy, it is also a university city. Pretty lively with a good range of affordability in eating, staying, and shopping.

Guimaraes was a lovely historical town with a lot to see just walking around - historical churches, lots of restaurants and pretty sites. We went to Citania de Briterios (2,000 year old Celtic village) - a short drive away - and loved it. We could have spent longer here.

I only had two days in Guimarães, and I wish that I could have stayed for at least two more. I stayed in the historic centre, which has much to offer in terms of aimlessly wandering around and staring agog at the old buildings, visiting museums, churches, palaces, and castles, eating delicious food, and enjoying artisan shops. I also took the cable car to Mount Penha and spent a few hours exploring the caves and sites, which was not enough time to see everything. Pack a picnic and plan to spend at least three hours wandering around the top of the mountain, enjoying the breathtaking views of the city, exploring the caves and grottoes, and shining about all the people who have been on this mountain in the past 5000 years.
The apartment is nice, big, and in excellent location. Its an old Family house (Grandfather was a doctor with clinic on first floor)
The owner provided breakfast ! which was very nice, rich and covered our lunch on that day too.
That night we sat on cafe and had 'Toucinho do Ceu - Bacon From Heaven' (Guimaraes special) - made from almonds and many yolks (the whites were used to clarify the wine, and the yolks were given to nuns .. and used on desserts).. so this was a nice local food we hit accidently. Old town is nice.
I had a wonderful experience staying in the hotel Toural. The overall sense of the historical building and the view of the square is pretty cool.
The stuff was superb! The receptionist assisted us in applying for lost luggage, and the waiter in the breakfast area was super attentive!
The continental breakfast was of high quality. Freshly squized juice, cakes, and omelette were welcomed compared to a low quality buffet.
The room was spacious, and the mattress of high quality allowed a good night sleep.
Very nice hotel, newly refurbished with amazing Guimaraes city view ! Nice location on the top of the city. Close walking distance to old city centre, also close to supermarket. Our room was on the 10th floor superior with an amazing panoramic view - very large and comfortable. The bathroom had a bath and a large shower. The bed was large & comfortable ! The Breakfast was also good for 3* hotel but needs a bit more selection of fresh vegetables and fried bacon :-)

The hotel staff is exceptionally nice! The receptionist'll willingly help you, but at the same time, you'll not be disturbed in any way. My room was very clean, with a comfortable bed and an AC (which was a life-saver during hot days). Regarding the location - the hotel is close to the city center and the bus station. I highly recommend this place (especially taking into account the price) :)
The hotel has great areas and is a good alternative to stay right in the center of Guimarães. The room was quite spacious and the bed very comfortable. Both our room and common areas were very clean. The breakfast table structure was quite interesting, you can see that it was designed with the intention of being agile and practical. A Bugatti coffee maker is always a great touch ;)
Hospitality taken to new levels. We were greeted in person by the owner with an amazing display of kindness, courtesy and generosity. The space and facilities newly renovated and well kept, the stocked fridge, and the beautiful garden, everything bears evidence of care and delivers a wholesome experience. I'll happily return on every trip to Guimaraes if I can.
Stayed at this charming, historic apartment in a prime location in Guimaraes. The staff went above and beyond, offering exceptional assistance throughout our stay. Despite a temporary electricity outage, they promptly resolved the issue and even provided a complimentary night as compensation. Highly recommend for a memorable and accommodating experience!”
It was very good value for money. A bit older hotel, but kept very well. Probably better than any modern hotel, as the room and the bathroom were both spacious and well organised. There was everything we needed plus the room service was great and the very good restaurant food surprisingly cheap.
Perfect location. Spacious room. Super clean. Amazing host - thank you Fatima. Our room and kitchen were fully equipped and there was not a thing that Fatima had not thought of to make our 6 day stay in stunning Guimaraes so memorable. We could not have wanted anything more.
Our room was atmospheric and comfortable, overlooking the garden and simply, but tastefully, furnished. It was just steps to the beautiful public spaces of the hotel. A shared veranda with a fountain and tiled walls was perfect for watching the sun set.
The apartment was very comfortable and so near everything to see. It was an easy walk to the castle and the palace. Guimaraes was beautiful and unique. We enjoyed our stay with Travador. The staff was friendly and communicated well.
We had a lovely time in Guimaraes. Our room was clean and we had everything we needed. Fatima greeted us with a smile and was able to answer all of the questions. The location was perfect for strolling around the old part of town.
Very basic breakfast but generous.
Very good location if you travel to Guimaraes by train, close to city centre.
Very friendly staff.
No car park at the Hotel but used the free train station car park just around the corner
Beautiful, grand property, on a hill above Guimaraes. Only downside was getting into town to eat dinner. You have to have a car if you plan to stay here. it was well worth going out of town to get there though.
The place was impeccable!, extremely clean, quiet, nice area, nice people, easy access, everything I could ask for!.
If you ever come to Guimaraes THI IS THE PLACE TO STAY!
