Musty smell in bathroom, which doesn’t have adequate ventilation. Shared kitchen facilities are not really designed for guest use (inadequate refrigerator space, etc.

Accessibility, abundant parking, location close to old city and shopping centre (with excellent food court), wonderful staff, generous breakfast included, spacious room, wonderful atmosphere of old stately building.

A little historic gem hidden in a bustling village. The history of the house is genuine and we loved exploring the town. Super comfy bed. It feels almost like a mini farm stay. Felt super welcome. Just loved it.

We will never forget our stay at Casa dos Pombais. Best place to start the visit of Guimaraes (one of the most beautiful old city in Portugal). Living in a historical house full of culture and art. We spent a very nice time, sitting in the garden among the limon trees. The owner is very friendly and helpful.

Wi fi connectivity poor. Kitchen facilities adequate but need an upgrade. Just a few small improvements could lift this property to exceptional

A unique property which made for a memorable stay and walkable to the town centre. Great breakfast, we enjoyed seeing all the animals and very important to us that they were being well looked after. The historic interest of the house and garden but needs a full time manager

The breakfast was ok with a lot of choices to choose from, but we missed an egg (boiled or scrambled) with our breakfast.

Excellent location with on site parking and within walking distance to the centre to the restaurants and the oldtown. Very clean and spacious room in a Manor house surrounded by a beautiful garden with some domestic birds as a swan and a peacock. The lady of the house is very friendly and helpful.

Bathroom a bit dated but since you stay in a historic building, this is forgivable.

Lovely breakfast in beautiful setting , overlooking pond with swans, ducks and peacocks! Large room and bed, good parking and within walking distance of Guimarães. Kitchen available to prepare evening meal, able to eat in dining room and large hypermercado within easy walk

When you enter the large courtyard of Case Dos Pombais, a new world opens up to you - almost in the center of the city, there is a piece of history, an old, mighty house, as if you have moved to another time. It is surrounded by a beautiful garden full of ripe lemons and oranges, a pond where two swans and ducks, geese are frolicking, and there are goldfish in the second, smaller pond... It's a shame that we were at such a time of year that we couldn't enjoy it in full. to enjoy all this as it was too cold outside. Inside the house opens a large reception room, living room and breakfast room. What a breakfast! You just have to take your time for it, because the table is so full of small details, embroidered napkins, cups, plates and great flavors. The manager of the house, who is the daughter of the owners, is an extremely nice woman, tidy, otherwise she doesn't speak much English, but we managed to communicate absolutely everything. If you come from places where even in winter we have at least 22 degrees in the houses, it's a bit cold, but you put on another sweater and you're fine. The house is beautiful, the cleanliness is good, the location is excellent.

the only minor negative was the shortage of power points near the bed and no mixing taps in bathroom basin.

Beautiful heritage house on a large garden setting. The generous breakfast was served in a grand old room on perfectly set tables.

We couldn't get internet in our room, we had to access from the common loungeroom.

It was a lovely historic building with beautiful gardens. The host was very friendly, the breakfast good and our dog was very well accepted

The house has a bit of a musty smell which is probably down to the lack of adequate heating as well as the age of the building ...

The rooms are on the ground floor of a charming old Portuguese mansion surrounded by beautiful gardens and in walking distance from the historic town center. The lady of the house is lovely and provides a wonderful breakfast in the mornings.
