“Good accommodation in superb location, especially for foodies.”
Location absolutely superb. On river in historic town centre. Close to river, walks, lots of restaurants and small local shops, churches, etc. Accommodation not over-spacious but very clean and comfortable with very well equipped kitchen area. Warm welcome.

“Would definitely return if going to Amarante again”
Its proximity in the old town and closeness to the river was perfect as well as the small balcony with river view. Very quiet at night and a gift of Vinho Verde was waiting for us on our arrival
