Ponte de Lima hotels

Pros: Breakfast was set in an elegant dining room. It was a traditional Portuguese breakfast with freshly squeezed Orange Juice from the garden.

Pros: The place is amazing! The atmosphere, the nature, the owner and his family. A small city Ponte de Lima is in 15 min driving is also very nice, there are some good restaurants.

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.

Pros: Beautiful historic manor house with extensive gardens. We were greeted by the Count whose family has owned this property for centuries. He took us, and a group of walkers who arrive on the same day,on a tour of the house and hosted us for a dinner in his dinig room.

Cons: nothing

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.

Pros: Very peaceful and relaxing.

Cons: When I booked I requested two rooms with two double beds even if one room would have two beds pushed together. We were not given that option. Also, when I booked online I opted to pay later at the property as I wanted to pay with a different method of payment. We were unable to do so. Also if I wanted a formal receipt I had to leave my information and get it later. It wasn’t a problem but clients should be aware of that.

Pros: Incredible setting with fantastic views, a wonderful swimming pool, and close by to Ponte de Lima. Both staff and other guests friendly but discreet. A great breakfast in a sunny room, with fruit, yoghurt, bread and pastries, excellent home-made jam, cereals, eggs and bacon, coffee and orange juice.

Cons: The beds are a bit small and not that comfortable. WiFi was dodgy, despite having wifi extenders in the rooms in which we stayed. That's a just a configuraion issue, not difficult to clearup. The biggest disappointment was not being offered some kind of dinner option, which meant we had to either eat out or keep purchases in the noisy fridge in tyhe room. A larger fridge in a common area would be a better option.

Pros: The property is huge and lovely with plenty of charm the breakfast is really good with scrambled eggs, fresh OJ, home made jams, cheese... The pool is fabulous

Cons: I asked for twin beds after booking the room and the room I had was way smaller than the one expected. If I had known that, I would have kept the double bed because the room was quite small and basic so it was a bit disappointing compared to the pictures I saw.

Pros: Beautifully situated just outside town,this is a tastily restored manor house in landscaped grounds with a fine swimming pool and an outstanding breakfast in an elegant room.

Pros: The grounds were spectacular, the views of the lake , orchards, vineyards, swimming pool and statuary were amazing, the manor and the guest rooms were beautiful snd impeccably decorated, The staff were extremely helpful and hospitable. Breakfast was the best we have had on our travels through Portugal.

Cons: The mattresses were too firm.A beautiful propert

Cons: The room was great, the shower was wonderful, the breakfast was absolutely delicious.

Pros: Delicious continental breakfast with a great variety.

Pros: Ricardo and Filipa were great. They were not only very friendly but also incredibly helpful. The romantic amenities were very good as well. We felt a much more personalised service that in most 5 stars hotels.

Cons: The pillows were not comfortable for me. But I didn’t say anything because I am too picky about it, therefore is not their fault.

Pros: Loved the location. Partially the staff who went out of his way to serve us a glass of wine. View from the room was outstanding. Saw the bridge and the town of ponte de Lima. Great breakfast and really large bathroom

Cons: Room was very small and dark with black walls.

Pros: Breakfast sufficient. Staff very friendly

Cons: Need better light in the bedroom. A bit dark.

Pros: The Arc My Hotel has included room facilities across from their main site and we stayed here. We liked everything about our room. The staff were delightful. Positioned on the north side of the Bridge this is an ideal stopover for Camino Pilgrims, and we would have no hesitation recommending to Pilgrims and holidaymakers alike.

Cons: The only thing we would suggest they consider - and this is a constructive comment: The day we stayed there was a deluge. Umbrellas to get from the main hotel to our rooms would have been very welcome.

Pros: A fabulously restored rural property set in a beautiful green and lush estate. Very peaceful and tranquil, as was our host, Victor, who really looked after us.

Pros: The quiet, the amount of different things to do ( outside pool, inside pool, a lake with boats, tennis court, climbing, or just relax. The house as a little kitchen and the bathroom is very good, the beds also very nice.

Cons: The parking space is outside the walls, but there is alot of space even a heliport if you need one :D.

Pros: The location of this hotel was great, within close walking distance to the waterfront, markets, restaurants and shopping. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious.

Cons: The hotel is looking a little tired. Early check in is not an option.

Pros: Comfortable and clean.

Cons: Price (110€/night) too high for the offer. Breakfast is simple for the price.

Pros: Location, breakfast, staff

Cons: Room needed refurbishment, specially the carpet

Pros: The staff were attentive but not intrusive. Breakfast was ample with a good choice of foods. The bedroom was very clean, although the bath a little tired.

Cons: No view from our room. The lounge, bar area was unattractive in comparison to the dining area-so we tended to go to our rooms after an evening meal.

Pros: Great value for money. Location is excellent, staff are very friendly, indoor swimming pool is big and full of amenities. Comfortable rooms. Nice breakfast.

Cons: All good.

Pros: very helpful staff, chillout music in background, nice landscape and fresh air around
