A hidden gem. Wonderful accommodation in a mansion that looks like an old palace. The feeling is like being a guest on the set of a movie where you play the royal couple. The hosts went out of their way to answer all our requests. The breakfast was excellent, with a lot of fresh fruit that was cut especially for us.
Featuring mountain views, Vila Coura provides accommodation with pool with a view, a garden and a bar, around 46 km from Ducal Palace.

The staff, the location of the property, the property itself is very pleasant and almost like being in a small secret village. The property has a lot of history and originality, whereas the rooms are very updated with all modern commodities and comfort.
Me and my husband solely goal was to relax and enjoy ourselves in sunny chill days and the property is the perfect place for it!
We are seriously considering going back during winter to enjoy the fireplace and the tranquility that we have encountered there. We love it!!!

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.
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!
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!
The property and its grounds are beautiful. The rooms are comfortable and large. We were very impressed by the breakfast offerings and the overall charm of the hotel. We decided to stay an additional night and although our room was booked, they moved us to another room which was almost identical and honored our original price. The service they provide (Margarita, who I believe is the manager, and Sonia at the pool bar) exceeds expectations and we will be back!
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.
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.
I stayed in about 10 places during my three weeks of travel in Portugal. And, this one was my favorite of all of them! This is an impressive building that happens to be adjacent to a five-star hotel and is across the street from the river. It has several rooms with very nice living and dining areas. I love the décor and the breakfast was fantastic!
Clean new spaces with country charm setting, swimming pool and close to Amarante.
The people were excellent for service, information and activities. We tried and enjoyed the craft beer, berries and the great breakfasts.
It would make a good home base while visiting the Guimarães, Duoro etc. areas.
Day trips to Porto are easy.
New, clean, beautiful apartment in the heart of Amarante. Everything was so tastefully decorated. Anything one could need was there, including a fully equipped kitchen, an A/C and a washer / dryer.
Very friendly, attentive and helpful host. Absolutely perfect, we would love to come back!
The location was perfect by the river with a beautiful pool. The room was amazing. We only planned one evening, but we loved this hotel so much we decided to stay an extra night. Breakfast was exceptional. The rooms are very beautiful and modern. This hotel is a must stay.
Everything. From the location to the hotel, from the staff to the facilities. Will como again. Not easy to park, but well, in the center of an old town, space for parking is very limited.
Fantastic hotel. We had a lovely little balcony. The room was clean with great decor and style. The manager and staff were great. And the breakfast (opposite restaurant) was wonderful
The view from the balcony is great. The house is located in de centre of Amarante. A nice host who recommended two exelent restaurants (and made reservations for us). Great place!
Historic buildings and grounds with lots of architectural character. Beautiful setting in the hills above Amarante. Modern interiors. Nice breakfast. Overall excellent value.
