Santa Luzia Apartments by Guestify

"We stayed for a month and thoroughly enjoyed it. The apartment is fresh and light and well laid out for comfort and convenience. We especially appreciated that both bedrooms each had its own workspace, and that there was plenty of storage space for our things. The simple, tasteful furnishings gave the space a sanctuary feel—a perfect place to unwind after sightseeing and shopping, or for staying in all day when it’s pouring rain. The location is a special bonus—just off a busy street and steps away from bakeries/coffee shops, a fruits and vegetables shop, and restaurants. From the moment we checked in until the end of our stay, the staff were always easy to reach and very accommodating. Thank you Carlos and Rita!"

The Grove Houses

"Absolutely stellar stay at the Grove Houses! We were in Guimaraẽs over a rainy weekend, and ended up mostly staying at the property, it was so cozy. We booked a room in the main house, built in 1900, which is brimming with charm--beautiful woodwork, chandeliers, high ceilings, a turn-of-the-last century library and living room to enjoy, and amazing views of the four-acre garden setting from every window. There's also an annex which used to be the gardener's cottage--beautifully restored with a modern, relaxed style and superb finishes. We took a tour and would love to stay there, too! Our bed was super comfortable, with plump pillows and crisp sheets. The breakfast buffet was ample and tasty, with eggs made to order and loads of fresh fruit and pastries, plus Sara's homemade granola! Despite the rain, we couldn't resist exploring the beautifully landscaped grounds.There's parking, and easy walkable access to the rest of Penha, with its lovely trails and cafés and grottos. Best of all is the delightful staff -- "granola" Sara and general manager Sara and Mario -- who couldn't have been kinder and more welcoming and fun. We can't wait to return!"

Quinta da Corredoura, Hotel Rural

"I hate to give a less than stellar review because it is a beautiful place, stylish and nice location. We stayed for 2 nights and because we don’t speak Portuguese I think we were not very welcome. We traveled in Europe for 6 weeks and this is the coldest reception we received. We felt like an inconvenience rather than a welcomed guest. This really tainted our experience and otherwise I think we would have enjoyed it. There were small things with our room as well- a wardrobe with no hangers, no hand soap at the sink, robes but missing the belts-weird but just small things. They did leave us a lovely cheese platter and bottle of wine which was wonderful."

Casa de Sezim

"This is a delightful, authentic, and magnificiently peaceful place to stay in Guimaraes. When you arrive you are greeted by the exceptionally warm and kind owner whose family has owned the property for generations. It is an incredibly beautiful and historic building and each corner you look in has a unique pieces. The hotel has a winery and there is no more beautiful place to enjoy trying the wine than sitting by the pool looking out on the vineyards. This is not an incredibly fancy hotel, rather it is a country experience that really gives you a taste of life in Portugal. The entire experience far exceeding our expectations (was truly outstanding !) and we just wish we had planned to spend more time there. It is spotlessly clean and we can't wait to come back to spend more time at this truly unique and wonderful home. It is an experience not to be missed. "
