The room was lovely and had an amazing view of the ocean and the Santuario de Santa Luiza. The room had a sitting area, and a balcony with chairs, and the bed, pillows, and duvet were all comfortable. The breakfast and the dinner menu were varied and the food was delicious.
This elegant design hotel features luxury spa facilities, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and close proximity to Viana do Castelo’s historic city center. WiFi is free throughout the hotel.

Massages are really good, high quality professionals. Asked for a couple massage (both at the same time) which was not an option but they made it possible.
Restaurant is very good price value.
Sauna space was wonderfull. Bedrooms and the whole hotel feels very new and clean.

This hotel is located very close to the beach. It exceeded my expectations for a 2 star hotel. My room had been renovated. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet at night. I ate my evening meal there and it was delicious. Breakfast was a big spread with lots of choices.
Set in the historic center of Viana do Castelo, Jardim is set in a listed building providing picturesque views.

Viano do Castelo has a nice maritime feel to it with nearby beaches, historic old city center, many good restaurants, and sits below the amazing Santa Luzia Cathedral. One must visit the Cathedral and if daring go up to the top of the Cathedral (mix of elevator and then steps) for the best 360 degree views of the region, ocean and land.

I loved everything about Viana do Castelo.
I loved everything about Viana do Castelo. It was New Year's Eve and the atmosphere was incredible. Definitely one of the best nights of my life! The people, the decorations, the lights and although a lot of fun was being had, it just felt so safe and welcoming!
The next morning the streets were spotless, everyone wishing you a Happy New Year and it was all in all just perfect. I'll definitely be coming back. In fact I'd love to live there!

Lovely town to stroll around with lots of interesting buildings/architecture, nice boutiques and specialist shops and a good mix of places to eat. If we had stayed longer it would have been worth having a car but for 4 nights it was fine without. (Hotel has a car park)

Viana do Castelo is a great place to just relax if you want to get away from the tourist scene in the big cities. It's easy to go on day trips and outdoor activities from there. The food was amazing, the people polite and friendly. We hope to go back.

The family has done a beautiful job creating tasteful art decor that celebrates the soul of this city. The Museo do Traje at the end of the block is worth a visit, too. I have a greater appreciation of my Traje do Vianesa room after a visit to the Museo!

Peaceful setting all around, inserted in pine tree Nature. Clean, tidy, beautiful walkable accesses to the beachfront, ocean water of remarkable quality. Sense of safety. Serviceable, clean bungalow with hot water, raised from the ground level, and with decent room to other bungalows. Dedicated parking space relatively close inside the park. Excellent, attentive, responsive staff all around. Close enough to Viana do Castelo and various other commercial and tourist spots.
Perfect place to spend a couple nights! All staff was incredibly helpful and really eager to make our stay as much comfortable as possible Location is also very nice, 5 minutes walking to the train station and city centre. As a person who was born and grew up in Viana do Castelo, the whole place made me feel at home. I definitely recommend and next time I'm visiting my hometown, I know where I want to stay.
Lovely apartment in Amorosa Beach. Laid back surfer beach. Lots of families. Apartment looks out on the pine forest. Walk along the boardwalk and through the forest to Cabadelo and take ferry to Viana do Castelo. Claudia was very helpful and the apartment had everything you would need. 5 minutes to beach. Very reasonably priced restaurants and coffee shops.
Very nice hotel in the historical center of Viana do Castelo. Lots of small shops, cafés and restaurants nearby. Only a 5 minutes walk to the funicular up to the Santa Luzia church. Very nice and attentive staff that gave us a lot of good advice about what to visit and restaurants for dinner. Some parking spaces available in the basement of the hotel.
The hotel is located conveniently close to shops and restaurants. The room was simple, but the walls are incredibly thin and you can hear your neighbors. Not the best if you want a good night’s rest before you start your walk on the Camino the next morning. Breakfast options included fruit, yogurt, bread, cold cuts, and cheese.
Located right in a quaint square, great facilities. we arrived late afternoon, had a drink in the living room overlooking the square (they had an honesty bar 7euros for a bottle of wine!) and had a chat to other guests. one of our favourite hotels in this month long journey around Portugal and spain and great value for money.
Very attentive staff who is very passionate about his job and the premises. So helpful and took the time to show me around the entire hotel giving me the story of the hotel, decor and art work along the way. The breakfast was very carefully and lovingly prepared and served. A very special place to stay.
A lovely, nicely decorated beach apartment. Two nice bedrooms and a nice living area. The owner was very helpful and left us a lovely gift of wine and cake when we checked in. The apartment is 5 mins walk from the beach and 10 mins drive from Viana do Castelo. There are some nice beach cafes nearby.
This hotel is located very close to the beach. It exceeded my expectations for a 2 star hotel. My room had been renovated. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet at night. I ate my evening meal there and it was delicious. Breakfast was a big spread with lots of choices.
Centrally located place in the old town of Viana do Castelo with lots of restaurants, cafes and shops around. The room was nicely designed with a view over the bridge and water. The A/C was useful to sleep in cool surroundings. A good option if you are walking the Camino.
Everything, unfortunately we spent there only one night. We really enjoyed the little kitchen corner with everything you need to make a good breakfast or dinner. The position cannot be more central in the tiny but gorgeous Viana do Castelo.
Everything! Beautiful luxurious hotel right on the Camiño! Very clean and comfortable and the staff was exceptional! They insisted on preparing us a wonderful breakfast to go the next morning, since we were leaving out early. 
Wonderful hotel in a perfect location. Everything was fabulous. The breakfast was incredible. The staff are beyond helpful. I'm hiking the Camino and originally booked 2 nights. I added a 3rd night after spending 1 night there.
Beautiful hotel located close to all amenities and only a short walk from the train station. The breakfast was great and varied, our room was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Great value for money.
Everyone was wonderful, especially the nice lady at reception. My only grumble was that the bed pillows were too hard for my taste. Excellent choice and one of the highlights of Portugal!
On the Camino. Hostess shared stories about Portugal and her family as she served us a delicious large hearty breakfast. Rooms spacious and comfortable with lovely beds, strong hot showers
Everthing. One of my most comfortable stays abroad ever. I very much enjoyd staying i the the apartment and I felt very comfortable in the town Viana do Castelo.
Very beautiful and modern apartment in the heart of Viana do Castelo. Perfect place to start your discovery in this lovely city. Woud love to come again!
