This government run high end hotel is conveniently located in the historic center of Guimaraes, the cradle town of Portugal. The hotel was hard to locate by our GPS. The center of town is not accesible by car. finaly our gps directed us to a chain/gated street which is where the attendant told us it was the parking for the... More

We were interested in learning about the history in the area and found this Pousada online. Typically old manor or stately homes that are now used as hotels it was like stepping back in time, a granite building with wooden interiors, exactly fitting with its location, right in the centre of the old town of Guimareas, birthplace of the nation,...

As previous reviewers have noted, it is not too easy to gat here by car! When we arrived, many of the surrounding streets were being dug up, so there are some traffic issues. Fortunately, we stopped to consult our map right outside the Tourisi Info Centre, so my wife went in and was given extremely detailed and accurate instructions. Because... More

This pousada is ideally located in the heart of the old town. The key sites can be explored on foot from here, as can the nearby outside bars and restaurants. The pousada is charming. Staff are great. Slight downside is that the rooms are dark but that's about the only downside. The breakfast was served in a lovely room overlooking... More

Located in the historic centre, this is a well-run hotel. Our room had fairly comfortable beds, beautiful polished wooden floors and a well designed bathroom. The staff were mostly helpful and efficient. Breakfast was taken in a lovely dining room overlooking one of the main squares; plentiful and varied… some very soft but irritating muzak. Free wifi is available in... More

The location of the Pousada is unbeatable: right in the very centre of Guimaraes, on walking distance from any sights. There is a car park available, although it is not the easiest to find. Therefore, park just outside the old city centre (on Sundays it is free) and walk to the Pousada. We got an upgrade to a suite (with... More

Small and charming hotel in the center of historical city of Guimarães. Wonderful place to start exploring the medieval city. Rooms and décor slight dated but not less pleasant. Staff very attentive. Breakfast plain but well selected. Even a little old fashion – really a plus - definitely one of the nicest Pousadas in Portugal. More

We have visited many pousadas in Portugal which belong to the Pestana Group and I can say that all of them are nice but our favorite are Pousada de Nossa Senhora da Oliveira and Pousada de santa Luzia. Pousada de Nossa Senhora de Oliveira has a great location - just a few steps from all the monuments of Guimarães. This... More

We stayed here for one night---a Sunday night when things were pretty dead at the hotel. The pousada does reek of history, but overall we were a little disappointed. First of all, if you're coming by car, it is extremely difficult to find. It's within the walled old town where no parking is allowed. So you have to park on... More
