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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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!
Great place, wonderful people. We were the only guests on that time. Whole house and garden were for us. Breakfast
was fantastic. We recommend this place, which is close to Amarante, where there are a lot of interesting places to visit.
The vineyard is beautiful with great views and sunsets. The hotel is well thought out as there are different living areas across the vineyard so it feels very private and quiet. There was a good choice at breakfast although no 'eggman'.
Very beautiful room, amazing view & Amarante is a cute little town that’s worth a visit. The host was very lovely and caring. The breakfast was incredible with a lot of fresh fruits and homemade cake.
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
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.
