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.
We love this hotel and will continue to stay here when traveling to Amarante. The location is ideal, so close to everything, but it is very quiet and serene. We brought a friend with us and she was equally impressed. Both rooms were large, with a beautiful view of the patio below and the river. I understand they are closing to remodel after the first of the year, which is good. The carpets could use an update, but I hope they don't change too much as we love the elegance and warmth of this hotel!
The house is elegant and spacious and the patio is very pleasant, as was the host. It was spotlessly clean and well-equipped, with aircon and big, comfortable beds. Amarante is a charming town that is in a good position to explore other parts of the region. As the house is in the suburbs in the hills, the 25 minute walk down into the town is very steep, but there are buses and taxis to get back up if you don't want to drive.
Casa do Fontão deserves its highest rating, and can be a destination on its own.
Thoughtfully decorated mansion in a quiet residential neighborhood only 6 min drive to the center of Amarante. We had a spacious bedroom with comfortable bed and huge wardrobe.
From the moment we walked in to the minute we left we felt warmth and welcome of our hosts.
Abundant breakfast with healthy options, welcome drink and more.
We were met at the apartment to get the door entry codes. Accommodations were very tastefully decorated. It was furnished with a combination washer/dryer that was unfamiliar but much appreciated. The building was quiet, we could see the river from our apartment. The location was very close to the river and bridge. Highly recommend this accommodation for your stay in Amarante.
It's a beautiful boutique hotel with large garden and a stunning view on the hills and town. The whole house interior is a manor style antiquities and furniture. The room and the bathroom look royal and are very clean. The hosts are very polite and friendly and offer welcome meal (wine and cheese). Breakfast is very tasty and plentiful and served in marvelous room.
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.
super clean apartment, easy to find, comfortable bed. Very clear instructions on getting in and check-in.
Very close to walking around the town of Amarante and short drive to waterpark.
As additional bonus we had welcome gift of fresh juices, water and wine in the fridge.
Will definitely come back when next time in the area
Obrigada!!!!
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.
Fantastic location, around the corner from the Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso museum, S. Gonçalo Monastery and lots of good restaurants and tempting patisseries.
The hotel offers very pleasant areas and a lovely terrace over the river.
Staff are genuinely nice and helpful.
Very unpretensious but quite pleasant breakfast.
The hotel grounds (vineyard) are serene, the room was spacious and beautiful, staff were very friendly. The highlight of our stay was the dinner, we took the degustation menu with wine pairing. A bit pricey in local terms, but very tasty and generous in wine (a whole bottle was provided for each dish...)
Exceptional staff. Very quiet location. Beautiful property.
Pool area looked very inviting, but it was a bit chilly to use. Thoughtfully restored family farm with tasteful attention to detail. It's a little away from Amarante proper but an easy drive into town through the beautiful countryside.?
Amarante is quaint little town. Loveky people everything you need is available. Joao is a great host.we had no issues contacting him he was always available, getting into the apartment was easy.
The stay was absolutely memorable .
Thank you Joao.
The location in the historical center of Amarante is a perfect and safe place for the car (in the courtyard). The property is a spacious old private building with a small but nice yard. Good restaurants are just around the corner.
The hotel is so stylish and clean. The host is welcoming and kind, open for any help. I can definitely recommend this place! Also, location is wonderful. Amarante is so cute and beautiful town.
It exceeds my expectation. The hotel is very near to bus station, very clean, modern, very comfortable, the staff was so friendly and his recommendation for restaurant is very good. Super!
