Very active friendly. 4km of beautiful walking trails along each side of the river (total of 8km). The 41km bike path Ecopista was stunning. Mountains are just a few km away with endless trails for biking and hiking.

A beautiful city with a really interesting central area.
A beautiful city with a really interesting central area. There is a waterpark outside the town and plenty of shopping at reasonable prices in the town. You can take a pedal boat on the river and the local government appear to be investing in the river aspect.
The cathedral is a must see and has recently been renovated. Nearby is the museum/art gallery.
There are some really lovely cafés and restaurants with terraces looking out on the river serving traditional pasteries and food.
I would definitely go back for a couple of nights again.

We chose this town for a one-night stay between a house rental in the Minho area and a flight out of Porto. It was a bit of a random choice based on my criteria of a cute and well-priced hotel under an hour from the airport, but the town also has some cool history so we gave it a go.
Upon arrival, we discovered that it was the first night of the town fair! I have been to several fairs in Spain but this was my first in Portugal. It was the same basic vibe - families delighted to see one another, tasty treats from food stands, brightly like rides blaring pop music over the sound of teens screaming. We grabbed ourselves a couple of petite pours of Super Bock and tried Portuguese-style hot dogs, which are packaged in jars or cans and come with lettuce and crispy fried onions; my Chicago-born partner even approved of how good they were! Amarante puts on a good fair, and it takes place along the river so we were able to explore the main streets of town in conjunction with the party.
The only bummer about the fair is that we couldn't get in to see inside of the church, which is of some importance having been built by a saint. I plan to spend more time in Portugal in the coming years, so maybe I will head back to Amarante for an afternoon to take in the monuments.

The staff were young, attentive, and at all times very engaging. Without doubt, they are a great credit to the reputation of the hostel. The interior design and layout of the hostel has been really well thought out and makes for a really relaxing stay. This hostel is absolutely first rate!

There always seems to be lots going on.
There always seems to be lots going on. The town tries to cater for a wide range of interests and the surrounding countryside offers good walks and bike rides. Restaurants are good and on the whole value for money. There is a Michelin star restaurant which we didn't try although it it was recommended.
Excellent location with free public parking behind the property with an elevator to street level. There’s a 6 km hiking trail along the river by the property.
The decor is very modern and the beds were comfortable. Appreciated the laundry facilities and drying rack. Highly recommend this property and Amarante in general as the town is very beautiful. Joao, our contact, was easy to get in touch with before we arrived. Also appreciated that there was coffee for us to use and oil and vinegar as we did make a few meals over our 4 days.
The property and its grounds are beautiful. The rooms are comfortable and large. We were very impressed by the breakfast offerings and the overall charm of the hotel. We decided to stay an additional night and although our room was booked, they moved us to another room which was almost identical and honored our original price. The service they provide (Margarita, who I believe is the manager, and Sonia at the pool bar) exceeds expectations and we will be back!
This guest house is located half an hour's walk from the center of Amarante in a very beautiful area. The house is simply gorgeous, huge and full of interesting antique elements. The landlord is warm-hearted and very nice. We were greeted with wine, cheese and marmalade - it was very pleasant. Breakfast was amazing, very filling and tasty. I’m very grateful for the welcome and kindness, I would like to wish landlords all the best)
I like absolutely everything in the service provided by Des Arts.
- Location: perfect place in the heart of Amarante, the river is close, where you can see nany fishes, hear birds singing and feel the nature.
- Staff: sweet and kind people, the best part of the staying. You guys are doing a great job!!
- Beds: comfortable and clean
.
- Rooms: medium size, clean good ventilation
Peso Village made our visit to the Douro Valley a trip to remember and wonderful o every way! The house with its spacious rooms and indoor pool were so very relaxing, we had a romantic dinner by the fire one night.. I’m so glad we did not stay in Pinhao, but chose Peso Village instead. The day exploring Amarante was lovely.. and the drive to Pinhao was beautiful.
I stayed in about 10 places during my three weeks of travel in Portugal. And, this one was my favorite of all of them! This is an impressive building that happens to be adjacent to a five-star hotel and is across the street from the river. It has several rooms with very nice living and dining areas. I love the décor and the breakfast was fantastic!
The room and bathroom were clean. Decorated with traditional style, felt bit like dipped in history but with lovelly not outdated feeling. Very good breakfast with variety of choices. I regretting spending only one night there, defenatelly would book again. Very close to all Amarante attractions, with perfect evening walks by the river.
Clean new spaces with country charm setting, swimming pool and close to Amarante.
The people were excellent for service, information and activities. We tried and enjoyed the craft beer, berries and the great breakfasts.
It would make a good home base while visiting the Guimarães, Duoro etc. areas.
Day trips to Porto are easy.
Old world charm with modern amenities. Lovely location overlooking the river and cathedral in Amarante. Walking distance to restaurants and several small shops.
Comfortable rooms. We booked a room with a large balcony, with French doors, overlooking the river, cathedral and bridge. Lovely.
Good breakfast.
Serviceable staff.
This place is so great! From beautiful furnishings, and antiques, to beautiful garden with fruit trees, this Bnb was such a wonderful experience. The best part of course was the hostess! She was so friendly and helpful. Just a note, this place is about 5 min drive from the center of Amarante.
AMAZING!!! the owners are fantastic and so kind. the appartment is like a brand new house. superclean, and every little detail what you could wish is available. the view from the balcony is stunning, and amarante is a very nice town with great restaurants.
It could be nice to have breakfast included, as the chocolate cake was DELICIOUS! The room, view, bar, confort of the bed, hight silling, double balcony, hosting, was all amazing! We loved it, and loved Amarante!
Everything. From the location to the hotel, from the staff to the facilities. Will como again. Not easy to park, but well, in the center of an old town, space for parking is very limited.
Historic buildings and grounds with lots of architectural character. Beautiful setting in the hills above Amarante. Modern interiors. Nice breakfast. Overall excellent value.
Nice place in wine yard with a good indoor pool. Good location close to Amarante. The person responsible for the service was very kind and helpful and responded immediately
