Minho 4 Stars Hotels

"This was our second stay at the Hotel da Oliveira. All being well, we shall be returning again. It is a most elegant space in the historical quarter, with themed guest rooms (ours was named after the inscription of the city on the UNESCO World Heritage List). LOCATION: Situated at the very heart of the Centro Historico, the hotel is a short taxi ride from the train station and the bus station (even walkable with light luggage). HISTORY: The elegant breakfast verandah of the hotel opens out...

"Its really a country club with rooms so it has a big pool where you can do laps. It also has a professional gym. The toilet seat was small. The hotel interior is functional. Breakfast was ok. No vegetables. Its 10 minutes by car to town."

"Love the breakfast Buffett. Hotel staff are very friendly. Walkable to all places of interest."

"Great location, friendly staff, well decorated and clean, nice breakfast"

"Hard to beat the views from this historic hotel. Perched on top the mountain overlooking the city of Viana do Castelo and the river below is breathtaking. Staff very helpful and professional. Rooms a bit dated but clean and comfortable. You may need to get creative to charge electronic devices as outlets are scarce. Nice breakfast with wide variety offered. Transport to town on the funicular is available during the day, ample parking at the hotel. "

"Great place, good quality and great setting overall. Spa was allso very nice and can't wait to go back!"

"Beautiful place "

"The reception was very nice and very helpful for us (we don’t speak Portuguese). Clean hotel and delicious breakfast."

"I stayed in this fabulous chocolate hotel in early October when I was walking on the Camino way. After a 10 mile day of walking, it was wonderful to get there and berated with a wine spritzer with chocolate shavings, delicious chocolate bar, and a beautiful hotel. The breakfast was included and was absolutely fabulous. I highly recommend this place. "

"This is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at, not because it is the fanciest, but because of the staff and the environment that they provide. This hotel feels like a home away from home. Take a few minutes order yourself a drink and sit by fire, and enjoy the relaxing space of this hotel. The restaurant in the hotel offers exceptional dining choice's and the breakfast is very enjoyable as well. I can't say enough good things about how well I was treated while staying at Porta Nova...

"This guy needs to communicate with guests better. I requested how to get in the day before, then twice the morning of my arrival. I didn't hear from him until 2:30 pm and check in was at 3. I was in Braga at that point and had to go wait in a cafe until I got his email. (It was raining) When I showed up at the place, a couple was outside trying to get in. Then later, after I returned around 8 pm, another couple was outside who couldn't get in. I let them in."

"The property is such a hidden gem, a quite get away but a 10 min drive into town, the staff was so helpful and kind. "
