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.
Sergio was an excellent host and really made our stay a delight. With his recommendations we were able to explore the area and have a real sense for the countryside near Amarante. Of all our stays in Portugal this gave us the best sense of what it would be like to live here. The guest house was clean and the beds were excellent. There were dogs and cats on premise that we all enjoyed but something to be aware of if you were not an animal lover. The guest house was warm but extra fans were provided. Thank you Sergio!
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!
Really great hotel: excellent staff, from reception, the restaurant, the cleaning staff - all went out of their way to give great service and it felt like they really meant it.
Room was beautiful, restaurant was very good for both breakfast and dinner.
Location is enchanting. beautiful village, great things to do in the area and very relaxing.
All of the details were there - just an awesome place!
Hotel deserves it's 5 stars and more, hope we have the opportunity to return!
Amarante is beautiful and we liked everything at Casa Fontao. This is our third visit. Louisa is the perfect host and Casa do Fontao is exceptional in every way. The bedrooms are large, beautifully furnished in traditional Portuguese style and the beds are very comfortable. The breakfasts are delicious. Louisa made our stay at Casa do Fontao, special in every way. A big 'thank you' Louisa for making my wife and I, plus our friends, so welcome during our third visit.
Hotel was central, located in the old part of town. Short walk to bars and restaurants. The room was spacious with double aspect windows and a large balcony, overlooking the swimming pool and river. The bed was very comfortable. At the time of our stay there was a very noisy fun fair opposite but once the balcony doors were closed the sound was shut out. Breakfast was good. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Incredible service and a historic house. The host took the time to help us see the house and the history and allowed us a moment of seeing how she grew up. Her grandfather is an accomplished artist and the works displayed throughout the house pay homage to the history. This place is a little piece of magic in Portugal.
Breakfast was simple and perfect and getting to walk the grounds at sunset inspired me.
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
This was an absolutely modern hotel with a wonderful patio/pool area. The location was in the heart of Amarante and walking distance to everything. The staff were all so nice and in particular, Anna who took a lot of time to answer my many questions. Given the levels between the street, the rooms and the pool area, the elevator was greatly appreciated.
We had a wonderful time, and I recommend anyone who travels to Amarante to stay here! The place is beautiful and decorated in a unique way, But most of all, the owner is so nice and welcoming! It was a pleasure to meet her and she gave us an amazing local experience! ❤️ definitely exceeded our expectations!!
