I love Chaves, small ancient town which has a river going through it with its own Roman bridge going across it… wonderful restaurants, the food is amazing here in the north of Portugal! Amazing places to stay with fabulous Portuguese restaurants! You’re also close to one of the nicest wine regions in the world! If you drive go trough Régua up the Douro where the grapes are grown! Unbelievable gorgeous, truly stunning

The bridge that dates from Roman times and is normally shown...
The bridge that dates from Roman times and is normally shown in photos is the interesting bit of Chaves. The rest is tired and seems to have suffered economically. The last place we stayed was Guimares. I'd stay 2 days there and not stay in Chaves next time.
That said, apparently there are quite a lot of historical Catholic things here, but not my scene at all.

We really, really liked Chaves.
We really, really liked Chaves. We stayed in the Castelo Hotel which is superb, excellent room - with tea and coffee making facilities! We felt we got a lot of hotel for our money. Very clean and comfortable with excellent staff, helpful and friendly. The castle (museum admission price €1, well worth it just for the views from the top) and its immediate neighbourhood is close by and pleasant to stroll around. An easy walk down to the river brings you to the Roman bridge, a perfect place to sit in the sun and lose an afternoon over a beer or two.
Our first evening meal we had at Taska das Caldas and wished we’d spent our second evening there, too. It’s “characterful”, an “experience” but in a good way! Very friendly host greeted us with a white port, then, because we couldn’t decide on starters, brought lots of lovely taster sized portions. The mains were excellent. No room for dessert we just finished with coffee and were bombarded with shots of various águardentes. Didn’t half sleep well!
The only disappointment was wanting to walk round the park only to find it closed for works.

The city is amazing.
The city is amazing. It has grown so much since I last been there some 30 years ago. The thermae museum is for free and it's very informative, restaurants are abundant and serve great food. Bars ensure some nightlife and the river has many options of entertainment. The kid's park on the main square near the Tamega is of superb quality

Chaves is a very interesting and picturesque town.
Chaves is a very interesting and picturesque town. It has lots of nice, reasonably priced restaurants and bars. We found a nice restaurant just down the stone steps from the Roman bridge. The "house red" was excellent.

Its a small town so everything is within easy walking...
Its a small town so everything is within easy walking distance. There were nice restaurants and bakers. The streets in the old part are very narrow with overhanging balconies in different colours. There is a spa taking its water from the hot spring with a range of different treatments.
2 days was long enough though. Unless you want to do day trips with the car to other nearby attractions.
Situated just outside of Chavez and near the Spanish border, this is a perfect jumping-off point for journeys around northern Portugal, and seems to be a hub of activity around the town, especially the restaurant. The restaurant was lovely and had huge portions of regional cuisine. The staff is incredibly nice, and the proprietor is a genial host. Just a great slice of life in northern Portugal.
We loved this hotel, which is a converted fortress. It felt like we were living in a historic site or museum. The pool was lovely. Great breakfast (excpet one of the coffee machines was broken when we were there). Easy (but a little hilly) walk to all the main parts of Chaves. A fantastic value - in the US this hotel would easily be 4x as much.
We needed a one-night stop in Chaves and this suited us perfectly. Staff were very friendly and helpful. They didn’t speak much English but we managed to communicate. Everything was spotlessly clean and they accept dogs, which was important to us. Bed was comfy and water was hot. Breakfast was basic but adequate.
The hotel is just outside the old town. It is right on the river. There is free parking. The room was spacious and comfortable with views of the river and if we craned to the side we could see the castle. Breakfast was great with specialties from the region as well as the basics. Very good value.
Fantastic hotel, with excellent staff. Very accommodating, great facilities and the room was just amazing! We had a private bathroom and a small balcony, the AC worked amazingly (which was a must with the heat) and everything was sparkly clean. We can't wait to come back! :)
Hotel was very clean, beds were very comfortable and the food was excellent. I can’t speak a word of Portuguese, but the staff could not do enough to help out. The owner even insisted I park my motorbike in his garage. Fantastic place to stay.
Spacious room very clean with terrace and table and chairs - very peaceful . It is a mile or so outside the town of Chaves. The centre of Chaves has a great river with pleasant green areas and walkways along the river - well worth a visit.
The entire stay, from the moment of checking in, to checking out was so efficient and friendly. It felt like staying with family! Delicious, well prepared and exquisitely presented meals and desert's. Very clean hotel. Exceptional service.
The location is unabeatable. We arrived in the hotel, parked the car and did everything on foot
The building is lovely and decoration is a plus - very good taste
The bedroom had enough space and the furniture focused on practicallity
Fantastic place to stay when in Chaves…Centrally located, clean, safe and friendly!!
absolutely no worries when staying here, perfect place to enjoy the scenic and amazing city that is Chaves
This place is a small well-decorated hotel, near the center of the city and the popular riverside area. You can walk from here to most of the city, the breakfast is also a highlight.
Great Place to enjoy myself. The Staff was that wonderfull helping me with every questions I had. Perfekt in English. Everything in this modern styled Hotel is 5 Stars PLUS.
