Casa do Ribeirinho

Located an easy 15-20 minute walk from the bus station through the historic centre, this is a very old building that has been in the family for at least three generations. The rooms are beautiful and old-fashioned, with antique furniture, lace curtains, and polished wooden floors. Our bedroom smelled like an old Ontario farmhouse, which is a nostalgic and welcoming smell to me. The water pressure in the shower comes and goes, and one must run the hot water tap quite a few minutes before the hot water shows up, but perhaps that’s part of being an old building. The bed was not the most comfortable, but okay, and the pillows skimpy. Breakfast was adequate but a little meagre, with nothing hot on offer. I didn’t have much interaction with our hosts, but they seemed pleasant. The guesthouse has a really nice shaded terrace in the front overlooking the river, with an honesty bar. If one has mobility issues, there are a number of stairs to contend with, and if one has cat allergies, there is a wonderfully friendly cat wandering the house. I did enjoy this guesthouse and would stay again.

Wished we had booked two nights! Loved everything.

This property is in a wonderful spot to easily walk to the center of the city and the river front and Roman Bridge and beautiful São Gonçalo Church!

Myself and my wife loved staying here it was a beautiful guest house very traditional. We were visiting family so found tbe guest house to be very convenient . If i had to moan about anything it would be the thin walls between the rooms we could here the couple in the next room very clearly which was a little annoying at times but usually only when we wanted to sleep. And again its a very small moan becuase they may of been loud people. The breakfast was great and Siri the cat kept us company at times. The whole place was immaculate and everything had been thought of including the honesty bar which was a nice touch. I would suggest maybe adding some snacks to this as well. I would definitely recommend this guest house to anyone thinking of staying in Amarante. We will be back. Thank you
