Ponte de Lima hotels

Pros: Location, very friendly staff, great breakfast

Pros: If you have time the owner has great history to share about the building & location. He was so very kind & welcoming.

Pros: This beautiful little guesthouse was formerly a little supermarket, and has somehow managed to keep the lovely historic value while still ensuring their guests’ comfort. Lovely linen, and a breakfast with home baked orange cake and great coffee added to our lovely stay here. We did the Camino and enjoyed a rest day at this wonderfully located gem, which also boasts a great bakery just up the street. We’ll be back!

Pros: Great accommodation with stunning details. Best place if you want to visit Ponte de Lima. Marvelous breakfast in a lovely area. Thank you so much.

Cons: All perfect!!!

Pros: I loved this place so much. The building itself is gorgeous. The owner has impeccable taste and has decorated the rooms with gorgeous antiques. The beds were also really comfortable. And the breakfast was delicious!

Cons: Nothing, I found it to be perfect.

Pros: The room was very pretty and spotless, with a beautiful view from the window. The location is excellent, in the center of the old town. The owner and the staff were friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was very good and varied, taken in the dining room with lovely big windows from where you can see the square.

Pros: Our stay exceeded our expectations. My mom and I arrived early on a rainy day, long before the check in time. Eva, the lovely "does it all" host, took us in and made us feel welcome. Since it was still early in the day, we asked her and Rodrigo (the friendly owner) where we could go for breakfast. Eva promptly pointed us to a table in their dinning hall and said we could eat there, as their yummy breakfast buffet was still out. After promptly bringing us fresh coffee, she then made it a priority to get our room ready so we wouldn't have to sit there and wait too long. We were able to check into our room by 11am. This is a family owned place, with a cozy atmosphere that is ran by people who really put love into what they do. The name comes from the building's previous purpose, as it was Rodrigo's father's 'mercearia' (sort of like an old-school family owned grocery store). They transformed it into an inn but he still honors his father's legacy through the decor and the old-school items and toys scattered around, which blend cozily with the atmosphere. It feels homy and Rodrigo and Eva made us feel as if we were family members arriving on a rainy day. When we checked out the next day, she didn't even want to charge us for the breakfast on the previous morning (which wasn't included), which was a really nice gesture. It wasn't about the money, but the kindness in making us feel welcome. The room was cozy and the hotel is conveniently located. But the customer service we encountered was unparalleled. Thank you Rodrigo and Eva!

Cons: -

Pros: Very clean room

Cons: Breakfast was just ok. The coffee tasted like instant coffee!

Pros: I was so pleasantly surprised when I arrived at this hotel. It looked like it could be in a movie. The history is special and they have done a really good job of renovating without taking away the original character of the hotel. The staff is great, the grounds beautiful and in a quiet location.

Pros: Bicycles available, ECOVIA and Lima river at walking distance. Amazing big and confortable rooms and WCs. Ouststanding bad.

Pros: What a find! A lovely, welcoming rural hotel steeped un tradition. The staff were all very friendly from the minute we arrived to the minute we left. We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed one relaxing day near the pool, in fact we had the pool to ourselves for the day, and the other days touring around the area. We ate in 2 nights, there is no restaurant as such but they do offer a choice of meat/fish dishes and a 3 course meal served in the dining room or on the terrace if the weather is kind. Food was delicious especially the cod fish.We ate in Ponte de Lima the other night which was also enjoyable. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast very satisfying. It would be great to return one day!

Pros: This place is a gem. Not only is it beautifully decorated, serene, and with the best beds EVER - but the staff can’t do enough to make you feel at home. Miguel, Filip, and Paula were so generous and kind - we felt very well taken care of. Getting a taxi into Ponte de Lima is easy as can be so do yourself a favour and stay here and have a relaxing retreat from it all.

Pros: Room had a fabulous view. Antique furniture was a bonus

Cons: Bed was very squeaky! Shower needed upgrading. Bath slow to fill. No wi fi in bedroom ( due I think to very thick granite walls )

Pros: Wonderful stay in a stately home. Excellent facilities. A little bit out of town but worth it for the view. The owner was wonderful and took the time to show us around the house and give us the history.

Pros: Staying at this grand estate was a dream ... A palatial yet comfortable and inviting home steeped in centuries of family history, magnificent views of the vineyards and the valley beyond (along with sunsets and moonrises), plentiful estate-produced fresh vinho verde, and the most hospitable and generous hosts ... We couldn’t have asked for more.

Cons: Can’t think of a thing.

Pros: The best place! Great house, very nice host! incredible experience!

Pros: The palace is extremely well restored and surrounded by beautiful scenery. It’s very tranquil and has the added bonus of a swimming pool with views to die for, agricultural fields and farm animals which the kids love, a creek, a few ponds and a chestnut grove. The owners were very welcoming. The breakfast is delicious. The bedrooms and bathrooms are comfortable and traditional and in keep with the palace. No need for modern luxuries and TVs when you are in such a place! Ponte de Lima is only 10 minutes away. We will definitely come back one day!!

Pros: Pool location and the property

Cons: No choice of food for dinner which was very expensive. Poor breakfast

Pros: Beautiful property in a stunning setting with THE most helpful people around us. Could not have asked for anything more.

Cons: nothing

Pros: Everything!!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Comfortable hotel in an excellent location. Staff friendly and helpful.

Cons: No kettle in the bedroom for that early morning cup of tea. Breakfast only average and unimaginative.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: very nice garden, very quiet but close enough to the centre.

Pros: Everything is superb in this beautiful country house, which is quite close to the village historical centre. Staff is very smiley, facilities are clean, the pool area is delightful and breakfast is a plus. The room is more like a small independent house. It's charming and comfortable. One can notice the care in every detail. There was fruit and wine available in the room. Lovely getaway.

Pros: Lovingly restored 17th century cottage was everything I hoped to find. My husband and I loved it so much, we canceled our next two reservations and stayed 4 nights!! The house has been restored using as much original material as possible while still providing modern, luxurious amenities!! Property was lovely with olive trees, apple trees, terraces to walk in, and a pool with a modern pool house. It is just a couple of miles outside Ponte de Lima which is a beautiful, little town to visit. I fell in love with the place and never wanted to leave!!! Highly recommend!!!!

Cons: Absolutely nothing!!!

Pros: The quietness and the beautiful surroundings of Quinta da Agra were exactly what we were looking for. Also the extreme attention to detail and the comfort of the facilities were a plus. The owner is extremely knowledgeble about the area and such a great host. We will come back soon.

Pros: Excellent in every respect- very helpful and informative owner, beautiful gardens, lovely pool, fabulous breakfast, comfortable room, great get-away but very close to Ponte de Lima town.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: An old stone farmhouse set in vineyards beautifully restored by Pedro, the owner, in a lovely gardens with its own spring and roses growing up the wall. Room was spacious with antique furniture. Pedro and Daniela made us feel very much at home and it was hard to leave. Able to cook our own meals in their kitchen.

Cons: It was hard to find, but only 3km from Ponte de Lima. Light in room was low and hard to read by. No shampoo in the bathroom

Pros: Very attentive and kind staff. Very clean! A calm place with nice views. Nice shared living room with some nice amenities like coffee, tea, water, cookies, fruits and available silverware for you to use. The host will make you feel very welcome!

Pros: This was a fabulous place to stay on our Camino. The staff very kindly waited for us (we were quite late!) and showed us to our rooms, which were perfect. In a very quiet location, this place is brilliant. Thank you!

Cons: Erm… The birds at 0500! First of all it was the cockerels crowing (not the fault of the property!) but then at 0600 the budgerigars started - lovely if you like bird call but there were lots of them right outside our room ;) BUT - a fab place to stay and would definitely go back there!

Pros: From the moment we stepped foot on the property Carlos y Rosa Maria made us feel like we were one of the family. We arrived in Ponte de Lima on a Sunday afternoon after hiking 15 miles on the Camino de Santiago. While Carlos y Rosa Maria we’re hosting a family dinner downstairs they greeted us with open arms, showed us to our rooms and provided us with one of the best dinners we had on Camino. The room was comfortable and the private bath was oh so appreciated. The morning we left, the two of them saw us off with a hugs and kisses. Bom Caminho!

Cons: You have to be willing to go a little bit off the beaten path to find this gem of a place as it located a 1/3 mile further from the center of Ponte de Lima. But wait until you see the view this place provides being that it sits up higher than most residences.

Pros: Friendly welcome and cleanliness

Cons: Nothing not to like ......for the price it's an excellent choice

Pros: Everything was perfect. The kindness of the staff. The room with a view over the city and the rural landscape.

Cons: Nothing at all. I really liked the accomodation. Not lavish,not sumptuous, either, however, cozy enough so as to make guests feel comfortable.

Pros: Very helpful staff, an amazing location in the middle of town close to shops, bars and restaurants, very handy to Camino, would stay here again

Pros: The property was easy to locate and close to free riverside parking and the town center. It was sparkling clean and tastefully furnished in period style. My bedroom had lots of natural light. There was a well equipped shared reception/kitchen/dining space.

Cons: While the location was central I noticed a lot of early street noise which I think may have been due to refuse collection. I was there on at least one weekend night and there was street noise from a nearby pub in the early morning hours - not an issue if you're in the pub of course :) That wouldn't stop me booking again but it is a consideration.

Pros: Super clean.

Cons: Bed a little small for 1.8 mtr person

Pros: The room was as pretty as a picture, comforable and quiet too

Pros: It was very clean.

Cons: The washroom was too small. The shower did not drain well.

Pros: Comfortable, clean and tastefully decorated. A very good rest on the Camino Portugués.

Pros: Location, atmosphere.

Cons: Mattress very uncomfortable

Pros: Location clean and good custumer service

Pros: The facilities

Cons: The breakfast was bellow the expectations.

Pros: Breakfast offered a great variety and was beautifully presented on tiered silver trays and crystal vases. Dinner was delicious and the the wait staff was attentive, though the process of ordering ahead was presented a bit forcefully. I had a lovely massage, though it was a bit difficult to find the remote treatment room on my own. The grounds are beautiful.

Cons: Overall, not impressed. Receptionist extremely snobby, every request was treated like it was a huge inconvenience to help me. From telling me where the massage was, to inquiries about dinner, requesting a taxi, etc. Room was noisy - could hear toilets flushing, doors slamming, conversation in the next room. My room was not particularly clean, there were wet drops on the bathroom floor that came up yellow when wiped with a tissue, carpet looked like it hadn't been vacuumed in a while, there were peanuts and crumbs near the bed. Charging €4.50 for 750ml of water they filter onsite is not the best practice, especially when there is no price list available to notify you of charges. I left feeling a bit baffled why this hotel has won best in category awards, they have a lot of room for improvement if they want to be a luxury hotel.

Pros: Beautifully designed, good breakfast, nice garden

Cons: Nothing I can think of

Pros: The staff was very accommodating and the dinner was good.

Cons: We have stayed in several Small Luxury Hotels of the World in our travels. This hotel just didn't meet the standard. The decor was kitschy and cluttered. The room was musty.

Pros: Loved the environment! It was aesthetically pleasing and exuded comfort! The staff is incredibly helpful and attentive!

Pros: The room! So gorgeous, feels like we were in the jungle

Cons: The staff. They cant call it 5stars hotel with service like that. 1. The day we check in, i stepped on a broken glass, thank god i didnt fully step on it so my feet is fine, but that a proof they dont clean the room properly 2. We book for an outdoor picnic but because it has to be at 1pm or 2pm, we chose 1.30pm. The weather was 34celcius, we couldn’t continue so we bring out barely touch foods to our room, (which was only 8steps away) to enjoy it later. Then, one of the staff ask us to give back the basket ALSO all the food we have paid. 3. Very minimal activities they offer, and minimal information they give about the area.

Pros: Relaxed environment. Breakfast is good and staff is friendly. The interior pool, though small, is nice and good for winter trips.

Cons: Really overpriced. It is a hotel by a national road with traffic. Small entrance, massive ramp to climb up to reception. The decoration is kitsch, cheesy, excessive. The room in underwhelming. The whole area planning seems off and strange and slightly too small and crowded. Oddly there is a small area with a lonely poney.

Pros: The staff was very friendly and attractive!

Cons: We didn't get to stay longer!

Pros: Really clean accommodations, comfortable bed and silent throughout the day. The staff was always friendly and helpful

Pros: This place was a very nice family run guest house. The owner does daily laundry and IRONS the sheets and towels. The sheets were carefully and beautifully embroidered. The breakfast was quite simple, but nice. They prepared a small breakfast sandwich when we asked for it. All of the family was helpful and friendly.

Cons: One small complaint was the bed: a typical hard European bed. Otherwise everything was fine.

Pros: Very friendly staff, nice family run hotel. Location a little out of town but parking facilities are safe and secure, and it's only a 5 minute drive. Rooms and bed are very comfy, clean and with modern washing facilities. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.

Pros: Very genuine family who made us feel very welcome. Food superb.

Cons: The weather but only just

Pros: Beautiful appartment- very large rooms, kitchen, living, all traditional style like the villa itself. The owner was very kind, lots of interesting tips and advices. Breakfast was great - served in the villa in one of the amazing rooms. Historic setting everywhere. The swimming pool was excellent with a marvelous view.

Cons: Absolutely Nothing - we where there during the week with extreme high temp. >40°C...no air conditioning, but the owner immediately brought a nice fan...all well and good sleep...the villa itself remains very cool due to the 1mtr thick walls.

Pros: A beautifully restored historic stately home. Rooms are very spacious and tastefully decorated in the traditional style making them most attractive and comfortable. Spotlessly clean and close to the charming town of Ponte de Lima. Lovely continental breakfast in the dining room which adjoins lounge. Our host Tristan was most welcoming and shared lots of local knowledge Staying here was a real treat.

Cons: Dump room climate, bad breakfast, pool in a really bad condition

Pros: The very friendly owner welcomed us with a drink. The beautifully located pool could be used at any time, even late at night. Breakfast was included and rich. The apartment with two bedrooms, a spacious kitchen and a terrace was perfect for our family with two teenagers.

Pros: Beautiful mansion with splendid view over the valley. Lovely breakfast in stylish room. Tristao was a very friendly host who gave us some helpful advices.

Cons: Not a big issue but the bathrooms in the apartment could do with an upgrade.

Pros: Very nice helpful owner.

Cons: Our cottage overlooked a very noisy house where a man mended his car all weekend with the radio on full blast. The cottage bathroom needed updating with new shower curtains etc. The wifi was not available in the majority of the guest areas.

Pros: Amazing host, beautiful and historically interesting rooms, swimming pool, the view from the terrace.
