This was an exceptional five star 'hotel' experience in a beautifully renovated house. The attention to detail in the renovation, the interiors and the presentation has to be admired and in my case was fully appreciated. A wonderful experience in Penha. A plentiful fresh breakfast was looked after by Sara with a caring smile.
Best of all you, after breakfast you see Penha which is on your doorstep and then travel down to Guimaraes.

Historic Center is good with lots of restaurants and courtyards. The cable car to the top of the mountain is a must do. It is 7.5 euros return. Residents take a lot of pride in their city. Most of the tourists are Portueguese . Prices are less than in the Algarve. Appears to be great bus service, but everything within walking distance.

Guimarães is an acient town where Portugal originated. It is quite small. It's enough for the Visitors who don't have any specific plans to spend 1 whole day to see all the most important historical sites in this city.

Some locals call it "The Heart of Portugal" because what became the country of Portugal began it's fight for liberation from Moorish Occupation here. The castle from then is still standing and is currently undergoing extensive renovation. The old city center is nicely preserved and is very walkable. Regional food is hearty and very tasty. While it is touristy, it is also a university city. Pretty lively with a good range of affordability in eating, staying, and shopping.

Guimaraes was a lovely historical town with a lot to see just walking around - historical churches, lots of restaurants and pretty sites. We went to Citania de Briterios (2,000 year old Celtic village) - a short drive away - and loved it. We could have spent longer here.

I only had two days in Guimarães, and I wish that I could have stayed for at least two more. I stayed in the historic centre, which has much to offer in terms of aimlessly wandering around and staring agog at the old buildings, visiting museums, churches, palaces, and castles, eating delicious food, and enjoying artisan shops. I also took the cable car to Mount Penha and spent a few hours exploring the caves and sites, which was not enough time to see everything. Pack a picnic and plan to spend at least three hours wandering around the top of the mountain, enjoying the breathtaking views of the city, exploring the caves and grottoes, and shining about all the people who have been on this mountain in the past 5000 years.
We had a lovely room on the first floor. At check in, the receptionist changed the room so that we did not have to carry our luggage up more floors -the hotel does not have a lift. Staff were helpful with explanation of parking arrangements and with storage of bags whilst we went sight seeing. Car parking is great value. The hotel is in a great location, a short walk to the old town and to an excellent restaurant, which we had booked. There was a simple continental breakfast.
My wife and I stayed in the Hotel Toural in Guimarães for one night during a holiday in Portugal. The hotel is located in the old city and a few minutes’ walk from all the main points of interest. Guimarães was our favourite city during our tour of northern Portugal.
Our room was clean and comfortable with a separate seating area and a great view of the Toural square. The staff were amazing and the breakfast was very good.
Recommended.
This is a very nice and comfortable hotel in a good location. The room was clean, airy, full of natural light and spacious, and it had a small fridge The continental breakfast was very correct (paistery, fruits, very good bread, cereal, yogurt, eggs, coffee and tea, industrial juices, sausages, ham, cheese, jams and butter). The staff is very friendly and the relation price-quality just excellent.
We had a very comfortable stay in Guimarães. The apartment was lovely. The space was hard to understand from the photos, but it is very flexible - the second bedroom has a pull down bed - and sliding doors on each side - so during the day the space could be quite open, while then at night, easy to separate. The storage in this apartment was also amazing... if you were planning to stay longer.
Villa Margaridi is an amazing experience! The historic villa and garden & grounds are beautiful and relaxing. José and the team are friendly, professional, courteous, and caring! Their attention to details, such as the daily fresh bread at our door and evening wine tastings made our visit special. Historic Guimarães center further added to the charm.
The hotel is very clean, the staff is very nice and the 24/7 free bar with coffee and tea was very nice. The breakfast includes superb food and the staff tries really hard to replace empty plates immediately! There are adapter jacks everywhere and a very large lounge for working, it is very business-friendly and exceeded all our expectations.
No IKEA in sight! The most beautiful cutlery, gorgeous lighting, especially in the bathroom. Very comfortable bed. Abundant storage. Even though it was technically a studio, the apartment was spacious. The most breathtaking aspect to the property is the direct view into the historic Largo da Oliveira, church, monument and cafes.
The hotel was very enjoyable - friendly and helpful staff, comfortable, well appointed room and great location. The breakfast was good with a large variety to choose from. Hool, the in-house restaurant is excellent. We enjoyed a great out of the ordinary meal. The service was attentive and considerate!
Perfect budget hotel with an excellent breakfast available for 5 euros.
This hotel is perfectly situated a few minutes walk from the old quarter, and 15 minutes walk to old city center. Limited parking available right in front, more parking anywhere on the street.
This hotel is delightfully-situated in the old town. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The wifi was good. Breakfast was included and it was excellent, being freshly-cooked with a good choice of food. The staff were friendly and helpful.
the hotel had absolutely everything for a wonderful holiday, from the location and parking to the different types of glasses in the cabinet. The cleanliness is sterile, every detail is taken into account! We didn't even use half of the towels.
We had a lovely time in Guimaraes. Our room was clean and we had everything we needed. Fatima greeted us with a smile and was able to answer all of the questions. The location was perfect for strolling around the old part of town.
The Location was Perfect. Near to Grocery shop, coffee shops and tourist places. We had a big room and comforble bed.Very clean with fridge and kettle. Price is excellent for a last minute booking. I highly recommend this hotel.
stunning hotel in a quiet rural location. rooms were fantastic and spacious. Pool was the perfect temperature and the complex was beautiful. the local town is charming and definitely recommend the local Pizzaria.
The hotel is in a beautiful building that has been beautifully preserved. The rooms were comfortable as were all the public areas.
Plenty of parking and great for a quiet relaxing break.
Good breakfast.
Clean and spacious hotel with comfortable room and the restaurant on the very top of the building with amazing panorama over the mountains. Not far from the castle and the town centre.
It is an incredible hotel at a good location. The rooms are spacious and sparkling clean. It offers the insights into amazing history of the place (noble rooms, backyard).
