This is our Luxury pick in Guimarães, an officially rated 5-star hotel with a guest score of 9.6 out of 10. It suits couples on a short city break, people who want a pool and gym after a day of sightseeing, and families, since family rooms are listed. The property is tagged as pet-friendly, but the conditions and any fee are not confirmed.
If budget is tight, look elsewhere. The two other picks cost about half as much or less, and both score well. Light sleepers should also weigh the noise comments below.
Location and getting around
The address is Rua de Camões nº 106 a 110. Guests rate the location 9.8 out of 10, the strongest single number on this page. By straight-line estimate, the Historic Centre of Guimarães is about 0.5 km away, roughly 6 minutes on foot, and the Castle of Guimarães about 0.9 km, roughly 11 minutes. Real routes may be a little longer.
Citânia de Briteiros is another matter. At about 9.7 km, or 121 minutes on foot, it is far. You will need a taxi, a hire car or public transport. Parking details are not confirmed in our data, so ask the hotel if you are driving.
What guests say
