This was an exceptional five star 'hotel' experience in a beautifully renovated house. The attention to detail in the renovation, the interiors and the presentation has to be admired and in my case was fully appreciated. A wonderful experience in Penha. A plentiful fresh breakfast was looked after by Sara with a caring smile.
Best of all you, after breakfast you see Penha which is on your doorstep and then travel down to Guimaraes.

I'm Portuguese therefore I know all the country and to me Guimarães is, along with Porto, the most beautiful city in my country! It's historical centre is magnificent! The castle, the palace, Largo da Oliveira and the surrounding streets and historical buildings make us feel like we are in the middle ages! It's truly magical!

Historic Center is good with lots of restaurants and courtyards. The cable car to the top of the mountain is a must do. It is 7.5 euros return. Residents take a lot of pride in their city. Most of the tourists are Portueguese . Prices are less than in the Algarve. Appears to be great bus service, but everything within walking distance.

Guimarães is an acient town where Portugal originated. It is quite small. It's enough for the Visitors who don't have any specific plans to spend 1 whole day to see all the most important historical sites in this city.

Some locals call it "The Heart of Portugal" because what became the country of Portugal began it's fight for liberation from Moorish Occupation here. The castle from then is still standing and is currently undergoing extensive renovation. The old city center is nicely preserved and is very walkable. Regional food is hearty and very tasty. While it is touristy, it is also a university city. Pretty lively with a good range of affordability in eating, staying, and shopping.

Guimaraes was a lovely historical town with a lot to see just walking around - historical churches, lots of restaurants and pretty sites. We went to Citania de Briterios (2,000 year old Celtic village) - a short drive away - and loved it. We could have spent longer here.

I only had two days in Guimarães, and I wish that I could have stayed for at least two more. I stayed in the historic centre, which has much to offer in terms of aimlessly wandering around and staring agog at the old buildings, visiting museums, churches, palaces, and castles, eating delicious food, and enjoying artisan shops. I also took the cable car to Mount Penha and spent a few hours exploring the caves and sites, which was not enough time to see everything. Pack a picnic and plan to spend at least three hours wandering around the top of the mountain, enjoying the breathtaking views of the city, exploring the caves and grottoes, and shining about all the people who have been on this mountain in the past 5000 years.
The apartment is nice, big, and in excellent location. Its an old Family house (Grandfather was a doctor with clinic on first floor)
The owner provided breakfast ! which was very nice, rich and covered our lunch on that day too.
That night we sat on cafe and had 'Toucinho do Ceu - Bacon From Heaven' (Guimaraes special) - made from almonds and many yolks (the whites were used to clarify the wine, and the yolks were given to nuns .. and used on desserts).. so this was a nice local food we hit accidently. Old town is nice.
Extremely well located Bnb with a fantastic breakfast and friendly staff. This bnb spams across multiple buildings in the same lovely street, with one of them having tables you can request to use as a temporary desk to do some work. You are also located very close to the main Guimarães attractions and eateries, and on top of a local restaurant that's an institution to the city! Make sure you have some snacks and beer / wine from the Tasca do Tio Júlio, and soak in the breeze as you eat by this great quiet street.
This hotel is about 10 minutes away from Guimarães city center in a nice rural setting, perfect for charging the batteries. Then again, the North of Portugal is all about nature and taking the views, sights and smells in our own time. The facilities are well looked after and clean. The rooms are very spacious and carefully decorated. There are 2 pools we didn’t get a chance to use but they looked like a nice way to cool on hot summer days. Sadly didn’t make it to breakfast either.
Location was fantastic. Steps from some must history! Small hotel but very homey!Within walking distance to the university where I was working.
Owners were wonderful. Beautiful property so well maintained.
It is the heart of the downtown so Friday nights and Sunday nights were sometimes a bit loud outside. However, not bothersome. I feel so fortunate to have found this property!
The people in the city are great and welcoming. There was always someone to help with English.
Amazing place in heart of Guimaraes. Located in the historical building the whole place had unique feeling. Rooms were just amazing. Very nice and stylish decor and comfortable beds. Nice garden where you can sit, relax and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee. Breakfast was also delicious. Staff was also very welcoming, helpful and going extra mile when helped us with booking covid tests needed for our travel. Can only recommend further and hopefully will be able to come back.

We stayed here for 4 nights. The apartment is very spacious and was perfect for our 1 year old to explore. Everything was super clean, and it felt like we were staying in a hotel, but with a really well equipped kitchen. We were provided with a cot and fresh sheets for our daughter and our own bed was very comfy. The terrace was a nice addition. Location was also perfect. Would definitely stay here again next time we're in Guimarães.
this property is nicer than a 3 star hotel! the rooms are very nice and spacious! the garden is so pretty and pleasant! the breakfast was better than most 4+ star hotels where we have stayed! staff was very accommodating! what a wonderful surprise! Guimaraes is a gem - what a beautiful town with wonderful restaurants (restaurants recommended by hotel were outstanding!)
We loved everything about Villa Margaridi - a perfect location around Guimarães, great facilities and definitely the BEST host. Jose is an amazing and interesting person, and a superb host that thinks of his guests all the time.
Words can not express how welcomed we felt at the property, it was truly a unique and lovely experience.
The staff at the Hotel are amazing and responsive. They were helpful with several special requests. The room and beds were comfortable and tastefully decorated. The brunch was very good. The location in the historic center made exploration for us, as walkers, very easy. Directions to nearby parking were helpful.
Excellent hotel with outstanding restaurant. Staff were courteous, professional but friendly and helpful. Great location, walk everywhere in the old town from the hotel, Bed was exceedingly comfortable - just like home - which is a rare thing in Portugal, the nation of rock hard beds! :-) Spotlessly clean.
The hotel is right next to the train station, so easy to get to/from the station with a big luggage. Then in a 10 min walk we were in the city center.
The staff was super nice and helpful. The room is good and clean.
The hotel is in a beautiful building that has been beautifully preserved. The rooms were comfortable as were all the public areas.
Plenty of parking and great for a quiet relaxing break.
Good breakfast.
Excellent dinner at the restaurant of the hotel. Very good service. The garden and the woods in the hotel area and the historic settings of the hotel in itself. The pool area with a view to Guimarães.
