Prós: Location

Contras: Bathroom

Prós: Breakfast was plentiful and a great variety

Contras: The room was very small, no coffee or tea facilities and water was not included in the price

Prós: The view was amazing, which was the main reason we decided to stay at the hotel for one night. Staff were super friendly. Breakfast was nice. Not many people so we enjoyed the quietness. Water pressure was very good. The interior was unique and beautiful. Exterior is superb as well. Location is great; only a few minutes walk from the escalator. The balcony was spacious with a table and chairs.

Contras: No free water. Some ants in the bathroom. Green gate to the Santa Luzia Sanctuary was closed on our departure day, so we had to jump off the stone fence. There weren't too many electric sockets in the room.

Prós: Loved the setting . A perfect romantic escape

Contras: Taxi into town and back each time was 9 euros for 10 min .

Prós: Very modern and clean. Cute chocolate theme. Tasty chocolate morsels @ front desk.

Contras: A distance from the train station. Noisy traffic in the morning!

Prós: Lovely rebuilt hotel incorporating some of the old factory. Chocolate themed rooms and chocolates in the room. Very comfortable beds. As a pilgrim on the camino, it was wonderful to find the hotel actually on the route! Your stay includes a visit to the chocolate museum and a drink from the café. I had a chocolate cocktail!

Prós: Rooms, designs, theme, staff, welcome drink, bed (size and comfy), location, breakfast - everything was amazing! Excellent stay along the Camino Portugues (Coastal route) and well worth the slightly higher price point.

Contras: Chocolate museum was closed when we arrived (closes at 18:00, opens at 10:00)

Prós: From the moment we arrived, to find chocolate buttons on the check in desk, staffed by attentive and welcoming staff, we thoroughly enjoyed this hotel. It is directly on the Camino and easy to find. Big room and bigger bed!! Spacious shower a d immaculate bathroom. Chocolate everywhere..including the room fragrance..great fun. Breakfast was superb and all good quality . 10/10 is not enough!!!❤️

Contras: Perfection... Only slight niggle was the small coffee pot on buffet...more than cancelled out by the high quality buffet

Prós: The chocolate theme is amazing and provides and excellent experience for the whole family.

Contras: Nothing at all

Prós: The chocolates in the lobby! The staff was very helpful!

Contras: It met our needs

Prós: Receptionist was very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was excellent. Good location

Contras: No privacy of the bathroom. In case you want to share a room with a friend, and you are not comfortable with each other, better book 2 rooms.

Prós: Location and comfort

Contras: Breakfast

Prós: Restaurant is great. Staff are great. Breakfast is great. Pool is great. We had a very relaxing time here.

Contras: The views from the backside rooms aren’t great. Look upon the huge, dilapidated roof of an old building.

Prós: Loved the breakfast and the excellent customer service. Ana was so helpful and friendly. The front desk person (Andre?) even helped me with my rental car. First-rate staff..

Contras: Room was a bit chilly. I didn't mind but was surprised that I couldn't find any heat. I should have asked.

Prós: Location. Decor.

Contras: For what the room cost, you would expect a much better breakfast.

Prós: The young lady on the reception desk was very friendly and welcoming and helpful in suggesting places to visit during our stay. The room was clean, simply furnished and the bed comfortable. Breakfast was also very adequate. Free public parking is available a short distance away but this needs to be timed for late afternoon. There is also a nearer underground car park.

Contras: Suggest that it is not worth paying more for a room with a river view as one has to strain the neck to see it. Our room with the supposed river view also incurred a lot of traffic noise.

Prós: Room

Contras: Breakfast. There should be local breakfast and more options,

Prós: Great location to walk to all the sights and to restaurants.

Contras: Noisy at night from street sounds. It was a weekend and bars must have been open very late!

Prós: location good;breakfast good

Contras: noisy neighbors late at night

Prós: It’s a boutique hotel, very quiet, it doesn’t have the constant noise of air conditioning and ventilation that big hotels have. Good taste in decoration, what you need without being too much. For longer stays the suits are a better option once the rooms are not big. The location is perfect. The restaurant is a warm place, where you can relax and they just take of you with wonderful food and wine. And best thing is of course the staff! Warm and wanting to make you feel at home (I have to say Helena is top!).

Prós: This a classic manor house built in 1509. Updated?! For sure. We had a traditional room, large, four poster bed, lots of windows. Young staff was enthusiastic and friendly. Told us of a very goos tapas place 30 seconds from the hotel door. They gave us an upgrade to a deluxe room.

Prós: Large, clean, comfortable room (with very high ceiling) in interesting old building - a change from the standard modern hotel. Friendly and helpful reception. Good wifi. Good breakfast. Evening meal in restaurant was more than I would normally pay, but the food and service were excellent.

Contras: Lack of power sockets. Bath plug leaked, and basin plug didn't work at all.

Prós: Probably the most attentive hotel staff we have had the distinct pleasure to encounter in all of our travels. We are do happy to have stayed here.

Contras: Our first night we were a bit cold in this 500 year old building. But Joel made sure to get us comfy and cozy for the rest of our stay.

Prós: Great location. Great bed. Lovely helpful staff.

Contras: Bathroom was a little old fashioned although perfectly functional. Breakfast room was chilly.

Prós: Excellent location in the city center, only a few steps from the train station, in a wonderful historic building, beautifully restored. Absolutely comfortable room; super nice staff. I was met by Rui who showed me to my room, explained everything, was genuinely friendly and helpful and made me feel really welcome.

Contras: Absolutely nothing to complain about. Totally recommended.

Prós: - Location - room decoration - building history

Contras: - Windows didn’t close and kept opening during the night every time the wind blow - Bathroom - Poor Breakfast

Prós: Staff at reception was amazing, friendly and helpful.

Contras: Breakfast is very good, but you can not ask the eggs in your way.

Prós: You can ask for scrambled eggs for breakfast and the rest of the breakfast is buffet. Quite nice. Friendly staff and nice rooms. Location is pretty perfect.

Prós: Very nice from the first look. The stairway is amazing, room was really nice and clean, staff was very friendly and I was able to leave my stuff for a bit longer than check out time, so I could enjoy the town a bit more.

Contras: There was a light switch literally behind my pillow, so I switched the light on while sleeping, just by moving my hands randomly.

Prós: Location was very good; The hotel is very clean; The staff was very friendly.

Prós: Lovely hotel full of character and great value in a very central location. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Contras: Nothing really

Prós: Location

Contras: Ugly buildings blocking water view across from hotel. Thumbs down to planners

Prós: The owner was a very friendly man,he gave us an upgrade on our room for free, gave all the info about visiting the town, gave us an address of a good resto not far from the hotel(Camelo).Room was spacious and the place was quiet.10 min drive to town.

Contras: Nothing, a small but cute place!

Prós: The room is very clean, with a comfortable bed. Big and clean bathroom. The guy from reception very nice, he didn't speak English too good, but he tried in all the languages he knew to tell us all about the town. They have a nice garden, where you can relax.

Contras: The location is not quite good. We were on bikes and it was ok for us, but walking is like 20 minutes from center.

Prós: The staff are among the nicest people you can meet. Very helpful, they do their best to look after your best interests. As soon as we arrived, the owner quickly helped is find a place to eat despite it being quite late for lunch. He left a great impression on us and we will surely come back as soon as we can.

Prós: The staff was very friendly, I had a reservation for a standard bedroom and they switched me to a renovated one because it was free at the moment. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast had a view to the little river and the fields, super relaxing!

Prós: Excellent location. Very friendly and hospitable staff. Impeccable cleanliness.

Prós: Excellent hotel. Lovely room with huge balcony overlooking the river. Most welcoming.

Prós: Wonderful location by a babbling brook. Clean modern room very friendly helpful staff and the manager always available helpful and attentive. I spent two days here sojourning from my Camino and highly recommend Hotel A Ponte. Very good value for money includes breakfast with food available on site. Location is just a little way out from the centre but well worth it.

Prós: Very pleasent and staff simpathy

Contras: Nothing

Prós: We loved it all, the location, the decoration and all the amenities. We stayed in the room with the view of the catedral, the room is really lovely. We also eat lunch in the restaurant and we really enjoyed it. We are definitely going back. The staff is super friendly. Muito obrigada!

Prós: The breakfast was very good, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming.

Prós: The accommodation is in a very good location in the old centre but in a quiet street, it's also quite close to the train- and busstation. The owner and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Allthough the breakfast wasn't big, the quality was really good, everything was very fresh and tasty. I also had a light meal in the restaurant that belongs to the accommodation and what I ordered was also good quality!

Contras: The walls of teh room are a bit thin so I could hear the neighbours sometimes but it wasn't really a problem.

Prós: The location is perfect. The staff are all very nice and helpful. Nice decoration. Quite calm

Contras: The doors of rooms are quite noisy. Some furniture a bit old

Prós: Excellent location in the centre of town.

Prós: The view from my room, location and the staff.

Contras: The size of my room.

Prós: its clean, right in the middle of the town center, staff are really friendly although they dont speak english, and has fast free wireless internet connection... prices are very cheap.

Contras: i think an English speaking staff would make it perfect ....

Prós: Friendly staff and great central location. Nice comfortable room and breakfast ok with cake. A visit up to the Basilica is reccomended,fantastic views from there and even better if you venture up the Dome.

Contras: Some street noise may be heard if you have a room at the front.

Prós: The location was definitely the best part of this hotel - it is a quick walk from the train station (which is in a lovely part of town itself) and located within the bounds of the medieval center of town. There are lots of sights, museums, and restaurants in the area. It's about a 20-minute walk to Praia Norte, but it's an easy walk so we didn't mind. The table service during breakfast was also very nice - felt like being waited on in a restaurant!

Contras: We left the window open overnight and the street cleaners woke us up - not the hotel's fault, but just something to be mindful of if your room overlooks the straight as ours did.

Prós: The room was spacious with a small sitting area, very comfortable. The buffet breakfast was excellent with a selection of food to suit most tastes. The location was good for visiting various places. We left the car at the hotel secure car park and travelled by train to Porto and Viana do Castell. The small stion is five minutes walk from the hotel, with very helpful staff.

Contras: You need to let the reception know your approximate time of arrival in order to have the gates open. After the first time you have your own key.

Prós: Everything was spotlessly clean. The pool and the tennisarea was nice. Short distance to Viana do Castello.

Contras: It was very hot and the rooms didn't have aircondition. The hotel has a lot of stairs everywhere -inside and out (also to the pool) - but no railings to hold on to, which was a problem for my mother. On the webpage it says that its handicap friendly. This is really not true, eventhough the host was kind to change my parents room to one on the ground floor.

Prós: Super friendly and helpful staff

Prós: Staff very efficient Family environment Hotel very clean and warm Breakfast good

Contras: The room and toilet ( mainly shower) Too small

Prós: Very convenient to all tourist attractions!

Contras: We had no concerns

Prós: The bed and linen were lovely. The garage parking was good too as we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go

Contras: The coffee at breakfast.... breakfast was lovely but the coffee was not so good

Prós: it was all great

Contras: the coffee

Prós: Bed comfy, rooms exceptionally clean, staff very helpful and attentive

Prós: Amazing breakfast and service in general. Great location!

Prós: Breakfast fine, location perfect, excellent front of house personnel.

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Very clean, good location. Staff was excellent

Contras: Can’t really find fault, except that pillows were not comfortable and we needed an extra blanket in early hours, which we could not find in room when needed

Contras: No air con. V dated

Prós: The room was basic but good. The owner was very helpful on arrival . The hotel was only Avery short walk to the town centre ideal location.

Contras: There could of been some coffee making facilities in the room .

Prós: The nice man at the reception. The breakfast was good. Possibility to park in front of the hotel.

Contras: Moquette carpet

Prós: Everything! The cleanliness, the hospitality, the owner Bladimere was most accommodating as I was very tired and asked if I could check in early. the beds and sheets were high quality and soooo comfortable.

Contras: It would have been nice if the hotel offered even a small simple array of evening foods and room service, just for the those of us too tired to go out for dinner, however the owner suggested several near by restaurants that offered take-away such as Restaurante Diplomatico where I picked up the most delicious food.

Prós: it was fair accomodations.

Contras: It was hard to find since the sign was not clearly visible. we went by it a few times. there was construction on the street and it led to some of the confusion. they did not provide parking had ot park in parking garage which cost $26 euros for 24 hours. it was dark the hall ways, not sure why such dark color?

Prós: Everything was excellent. Such a beautiful hotel, amazing staff and the best location!

Prós: The most beautiful house I have ever seen. I felt like royal during the stay. Very nice people working there. The best breakfast too. I love this casa.

Prós: Amazing staff, beautiful room, tasteful breakfast. Location is great, walking distance to all the restaurants. Our host recommended several restaurants, we tried some of them, each of them was great!

Prós: Very friendly and helpful hosts in a beautiful and stylishly restored villa. The room with view and the very tasty and lovingly prepared breakfast were simply great!

Prós: Very friendly staff. We felt really spoiled having our breakfast prepared at the hour we chose.

Prós: Very friendly and eager-to-please staff! Great location near middle of town. Superb breakfast!

Contras: Our most expensive hotel while walking the Camino. Festival was in so accommodations were limited too.

Prós: Extraordinary friendly and helpful Host, perfect accomodation, georgeous room and interior

Contras: Nothing

Prós: The owners were very welcoming,attentive and provided a high level of excellent service.It was a memorable stay in a historic interesting building in the centre of town.The breakfasts were delicious.

Prós: Very friendly and warm reception, impressing house in excellent condition...we enjoyed it very much

Prós: The Quinta is set in beautiful gardens with a lovely swimming pool, fountains, and places to relax. Our ‘casa’ was luxurious and had every convenience.

Contras: Absolutely nothing. You’re best to have a car in this area of Portugal but we managed 3 days without one. It’s short bus or taxi to Viana. Breakfast was delicious each morning, although perhaps a slightly earlier start than 9am. But you get into the relaxing swing of things.

Prós: excellent breakfast, with very good homemade jam.

Prós: HIGHLY RECOMMEND this property! Lovely grounds, helpful and friendly staff, comfortable and spacious room, fun pool table and relaxing area. It is close to the beach, close to small towns nearby, and Kira the black lab is extremely friendly and welcoming.

Contras: The only complaint we have for the entire stay was the beds were very firm, but the rest of the property makes up for it.

Prós: The hostess’s welcome is kind and VERY (too?) detailed, but a tad too directive and overbearing. At times it makes you feel like a little child who needs to be taught house rules. Too much content is imparted upon you, whether you find it useful or need it at all in the first place. The room we had was a “suite” and thus featured a little anteroom with a kitchenette hidden in a large closet. The bedroom itself was nice, spacious and well appointed, although in that category, the bed could have been at least queen size —and wasn’t. The real downside is that there was NO WINDOW! The walk-in door was glass but needed to be curtained against the heat of the blazing afternoon sun (and the passing other guests!), and there was a minuscule vasistas around the walkway to the bathroom, but no window at all in the bedroom itself, which made it cavernous and claustrophobic. The room was not in the main building. Not one free power wall socket in sight! Don’t those hoteliers know that their guests have smartphones, tablets, cameras, portable computers, and all manners of assorted electrical appliances that need regular recharging? I had to unplug a lamp in the anteroom to recharge our things. No air conditioning, except for a very small unit in the bathroom, useless to cool the bedroom. The only appliance available was one of those column-type fans that worked more or less OK, except that it was on a 2-hour timer that forced me to get up several times during the night to get it started again! Unacceptable in that price range. The WiFi worked... until it went down, and couldn’t be restarted until the morning. You must avoid this place if you depend on a fast WiFi connection, for example for work purposes. (Read rest of review below)

Contras: The bathroom was good and in general well provided, but there are no red and blue markings on the taps, so you don’t know which way is hot and you’re kept wondering for quite a while as hot water takes that long to come on... Shower products are in quantities adequate, yet not overly generous, but strangely only shampoo and a strange little plastic bottle labeled “body lotion”... but no obvious shower gel in sight! Had to use an old one taken from previous hotel. Finally, the breakfast is good but nothing to really write home about as the hostess seemed to think: for example, no smoked salmon or other fish, eggs scrambled but not otherwise cooked, etc. AND you cannot have it before 9am, which is again unacceptable for an establishment in that price range: not all guests are on vacation, and even those who are may need to have an early start now and then! One last word to the wise: hotel owners and managers sometimes reply to guest advice and critique, and sometimes quite sharply. Remember then that I have no vested interest in saying good or not so good things about the places I stay at, while owners and managers do have a vested interest in selling you theirs products and services...

Prós: Very tranquil and relaxing. Beautifully finished and attention to deal. Very helpful locating a cot for my baby at a last minutes notice.

Contras: There was a bit of damp in our bedroom. The breakfast was very fresh and healthy, just could’ve done with a few more local pastries, I have a sweet tooth!

Prós: Absolutely gorgeous retreat - the Quinta is a huge property with tennis court, pool, gardens, and lots of places to sit and enjoy the beautiful setting. Wonderful breakfast. Very kind host.

Contras: Nothing.

Prós: An outstanding breakfast of fresh produce that was not equalled elsewhere on our travels. The staff were excellent and very friendly. The manager Carla could not of been more helpful.

Contras: Nothing not to like !

Prós: Very good breakfast

Prós: Great place to relax. Everything: the garden, room, breakfast...is perfect. This is a place to enjoy with an exquisite taste for details. Close to the beach and also to Viana do Castelo.

Prós: Owners couldn't do enough to make the stay enjoyable. Great swimming pool. Fantastic breakfasts.

Prós: Superb! Overwhelming variety for breakfast, beautifully presented and delicious. Room spacious and spotlessly clean. Comfortable beds with crisp white linen. Tea/coffee making in room and treats left in room. Nothing was too much trouble.

Prós: I have stopped at many different hotels over the last thirty years, I can honestly say this was the BEST experience I have ever had. The hospitality and personal touch shown by Rosa and her son Alberto went way beyond what one would expect. The grounds of the former farmhouse including the orange grove and the beautiful flowers provide a perfect welcome, then you have Rosa's home cooking, a breakfast from heaven all hand crafted by Rosa, with the freshly squeezed orange, meats and cheeses, home baked cake/tart, fresh fruit, all presented to 5 star quality. The rooms are immaculate, and outdoor the swimming pool was a welcome shield from the sun. Despite our requirement for a 5.30am departure on our final day, Rosa and Alberta were up to provide us with our full breakfast. Location wise, a 6km jaunt from the impressive Viana do Castello, where a visit to the 'Primavera Restaurant' is a must for lunch.

Contras: Absolutely nothing.

Prós: It was overall a fantastic stay. Alberto and Rosa were attentive hosts, and every breakfast was a little feast! Lots of attention to detail, warmth and a charming location make la Quinta do Valle do Monte a very special retreat for couples or families.

Prós: The property is beautiful and very old works Portugal. Nicely maintained and decorated. The location was close to Viana and beaches. Quiet, gated,scenic. The breakfasts were delicious with eggs , meats, cheeses, great breads, fresh juice. Dona Rosa and her son were more than gratitude hosts. I felt as if I was visiting family. Loved it!

Contras: Not applicable.

Prós: What beautiful people. All wanted was done with a smile and care

Contras: Nothing. The magic of total relaxation was enough

Prós: A lovely old style house with comfortable rooms, gardenand orchards and a good sized pool. Our hosts could not have been kinder making us very welcome with lovely eat treats and a great breakfast. We had to leave very early to catch a plane and they provided a packed breakfast for us to take. This is a veritable oasis in the outer reaches of the town with good road access in all directions and a 10 -15 minute drive to the beach, and town. There is a restaurant/ bar serving food and 2 large supermarkets within a 5 minute walk.

Contras: The location is fine if you have a car and are happy to drive mostly everywhere including further up the valley for some peaceful walks but there is nowhere for pleasant evening strolls directly from the house.
