Lovely historic old building with acres of public rooms and extensive garden area; like staying in a palace rather than a monastery. Our room was in the modern wing with up to date facilities and had a fantastic view over the city. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Plenty of car parking.

Unfortunate with the weather, rained 90% in 8 days, however the whitewashed walls and decor of the villa together with mountainous views kept spirits high. Slightly misleading with the photos is that you are unable to view the pool from the accommodation- look at the villa as an annexe (substantial at that) with the main house in between pool and annexe. The owners were away whilst we were there and weather bad so beautiful infinity / jacuzzi pool never used, however I get the impression this area would possibly not be accessible if the owners were present or at worse case -shared - best to check beforehand - most helpful hosts. Many beautiful ornaments within villa and stairs down to underbuild / snug would not be suitable for young children.

I'm Portuguese therefore I know all the country and to me Guimarães is, along with Porto, the most beautiful city in my country! It's historical centre is magnificent! The castle, the palace, Largo da Oliveira and the surrounding streets and historical buildings make us feel like we are in the middle ages! It's truly magical!

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.
Easy walk to the historic plazas with a variety of eating places no matter what time of day. We enjoyed walking the remaining walls of the city nearby. A 10 minute walk to the Palace and Ruins of the Castle. Staff helpful and friendly. We had a lovely suite with many windows overlooking the old cathedral and plaza where people were eating till 1 AM. Double windows made room quiet if desired.
This is an upscale hotel and dining/breakfast area. We felt pampered. Thank you.
The staff was wonderful. The hotel is very centrally located and we were able to easily find parking. Carlos in particular made our stay absolutely delightful. He met us at the beginning when we were a little lost about which way to go and parking rules. He was available by WhatsApp to communicate with us throughout our stay arranging dinner, reservations for us and helping us with exploration plans. We would definitely stay here again.
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.
We stayed here for 4 nights. The apartment is very spacious and was perfect for our 1 year old to explore. Everything was super clean, and it felt like we were staying in a hotel, but with a really well equipped kitchen. We were provided with a cot and fresh sheets for our daughter and our own bed was very comfy. The terrace was a nice addition. Location was also perfect. Would definitely stay here again next time we're in Guimarães.
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 studio apartment met all of our needs to have the opportunity to live as locals. We had been tourists in Guimaraes in 2021 and wanted to experience what life might be like if we lived there. The property owners and staff were always welcoming and helpful, answering our questions about the area and helping us understand the local culture.
Good location. Roof top pool, narrow but full length of building, and lots of loungers. Nice hotel decor throughout, and lots of comfy seating in lounge areas. Good breakfast choice. Decent room. 6 parking spaces, but nearby alternative on street available free, or close by 24hr for 10 euros.
Our host Adelaide was great to deal with during the entire arriving and booking in process. The apartment is situated very close to shops and the main tourist sites in Guimaraes. The apartment was very clean, had all the amenities you needed, and was very comfortable.
Beautiful historic hotel with a lot of interesting things to see-a huge, lovely garden, a stunning chapel, elegant hallways and historic rooms. The dining area was striking and the meals and staff were exceptional. A first class experience in a first class hotel.
The hotel is right next to the train station, so easy to get to/from the station with a big luggage. Then in a 10 min walk we were in the city center.
The staff was super nice and helpful. The room is good and clean.
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.
Excellent dinner at the restaurant of the hotel. Very good service. The garden and the woods in the hotel area and the historic settings of the hotel in itself. The pool area with a view to Guimarães.
The hotel is very close to the train station. The room was spacious and view was great. The bar and breakfast rooms have stunning views. Breakfast was satisfactory. It was good value for money.
