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.
The house was spacious, well set out, very well appointed with excellent bathrooms and a well equipped kitchen. The house retained some features of the original property. It was set in a quiet area with nice views of the local village and hills from the terrace. The owner, Miguel, was charming, welcoming and extremely helpful with recommendations of the local area. Amarante was a 15 minute drive away, and had plenty of shops, restaurants and places to visit. We would highly recommend this property and would definitely stay there again.
This was my second time staying at Covelo. It's a wonderful hotel. The staff are really helpful and friendly. I previously stayed in the heat of the summer so I was curious to experience Amarante and Covelo in February. During this wintertime stay, the room stayed warm, comfortable and cozy... It was just what we needed! Eating breakfast in the cafe across the road was a lovely start to the day. Amarante is a beautiful town and I can't wait to come back. And I would definitely stay at Covelo again!
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!
Casa do Fontão deserves its highest rating, and can be a destination on its own.
Thoughtfully decorated mansion in a quiet residential neighborhood only 6 min drive to the center of Amarante. We had a spacious bedroom with comfortable bed and huge wardrobe.
From the moment we walked in to the minute we left we felt warmth and welcome of our hosts.
Abundant breakfast with healthy options, welcome drink and more.
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.
The space is well decorated, great use of space, everything felt very premium. The location was perfect and peaceful. You can walk to everything you need in Amarante. João was very nice and offered great recommendations for restaurants.
WiFi was great as well.
Also, super easy check-in with the most modern say of unlocking the apartment. You will ask yourself why everyone doesn't use it!
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.
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.
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!
super clean apartment, easy to find, comfortable bed. Very clear instructions on getting in and check-in.
Very close to walking around the town of Amarante and short drive to waterpark.
As additional bonus we had welcome gift of fresh juices, water and wine in the fridge.
Will definitely come back when next time in the area
Obrigada!!!!
Location very good - just 15 minutes from Amarante. Breakfast was pre-supplied the day before, so you could use and then leave at your leisure the next day. Host very friendly. Very clean accommodation. Well done.
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.
The room design was excellent. The proximity to the pool was the best in the hotel. They should have photos of this room on their website but I don’t think they do.
the rooms were beautiful with great ambiance and setting in the vineyards of Portugal. perfect for a couple. beautiful bar and great weekend trip from Porto.
