Guest Reviews
- Carolina (10/5): -
- Carolina (10/5): Paço de Vitorino is definitely my favourite in the region. The hotel is excellent and I would highly recommend. - The hotel is excellent! We had a great time. Great location, very friendly staff, comfortable and super clean. The hotel is also stunning. Would highly recommend.
- Carmen (9/5): Envolvência com a natureza e com a história. Paz e sossego - Localização ideal para descansar e aproveitar o tempo de qualidade. Um lugar onde se respira história, com 500 anos que se vão descobrindo por todos os cantos e recantas do Paço.
- Bastiaan (9/5): -
- Mário (9/5): -
- Ronald (9/5): -
- José Eduardo (8/5): Muito lindo. Mas não é um hotel - De ser chamado hotel o que não é hotel. É uma belíssima propriedade que funciona como chambre d"hôtes, sem serviços de hotelaria. Da falta de serviços de hotel.
- Tereza (10/5): -
- Diogo (10/5): Ambiente magico - Ambiente mágico e empregados super simpáticos e atenciosos.
Deixaram-nos bastante a vontade
- Manuel José (10/5): Excelente - Todo en general Nada en concreto
- Carla Lemos (10/5): -
- Allard (10/5): A gorgeously restored 16th century family mansion we felt lucky to stay at. - A unique, historical, and pristine setting. Very generous hosts. Beautiful surroundings. Nothing :)
- José (10/5): Se estive em melhor espaço, não me lembro! - De um modo geral gostei de tudo. A localização é óptima ( tendo carro, claro ). O pessoal ( todo o pessoal) é de uma simpatia inexcedível. O quarto é espaçoso. Limpeza em boa ordem. O pequeno almoço é muito bom. O espaço circundante convida ao passeio e o espaço interior é apropriado para descanso. Muito agradável. Não há nada que eu possa dizer que não gostei.
- Lotte (9/5): - The building and surroundings were fantastic, it was really something special.
The staff were really friendly and welcoming. The breakfast could have a wider selection, even if there are not many guests staying. They could just offer something a la carte instead of a buffet to avoid food waste. The fruit platter was great though.
- Sara (10/5): - Gostámos de tudo! Hotel lindo, zona super calma e funcionários muito simpáticos e prestáveis! Sem dúvida que vamos voltar! A piscina ainda não estava pronta para utilizar (ainda não era época), porém sugeria colocarem cadeiras na mesma naquela zona, dado que nos dias de sol dá sempre para aproveitar!
- Sara (8/5): -
- Paulo Jose (10/5): - Toda a experiência de alojamento neste Hotel de charme é uma experiência imersiva....desde os mais pequenos Detalhes, ao acolhimento tão amável e com tanta gentileza por parte de todo o Staff que representa bem o espírito dos proprietários na arte de bem receber os visitantes a quem possibilitam a sensação de vivermos numa casa senhorial como se fosse nossa....desde o primeiro dia que este Hotel exerce sobre mim um fascínio especial...revisitei este hotel pela segunda vez num espaço de duas semanas e prometo voltar em breve!!
Um até já para a Rosário, Inês e Miguel. Nada a apontar
- Mafalda (10/5): Hotel encantador e staff incrível. Adorámos -
- Luminita (10/5): Amazing -
- Ferreira (10/5): -
- Paulo Jose (10/5): - Superou em muito as minhas expectativas. Belíssimo trabalho de arquitectura na recuperação e reabilitação deste magnífico e monumental Paço de Vitorino. Parabéns aos proprietários cujo bom gosto e requinte proporcionam ao visitante uma experiência imersiva no ambiente nobre desta casa Senhorial. Saliento toda a amabilidade e simpatia de todo o staff que nos recebe de uma forma tão acolhedora o que torna a estadia ainda mais rica e inesquecível em especial a gentileza e delicadeza da D.Rosário que conheci na sala dos pequenos almoços. É notável o gosto e a paixão que coloca nos mínimos detalhes. Bem haja e fica a promessa de voltar.
- Rafel (9/5): -
- Georges (10/5): -
- Beatriz (10/5): Uma brisa de ar fresco, requinte e ambiente acolhedor - Adorei o espaço no geral, o quarto era simplesmente soberbo, com todas as comodidades necessárias e adicionais que se possa imaginar. Cheguei ao local já de noite e não tive dificuldade nenhuma em encontrar o local graças à disponibilidade do Sr Miguel e da Sra Bernardete que estiveram sempre disponíveis para ajudar, orientar e tornar a entrada, estadia e o conforto o mais simples e funcional possível.
Senti-me verdadeiramente acolhida e devo dizer que este local não é apenas um alojamento, mas um espaço que combina arquitetura, lazer e possibilidade de relaxar, trabalhar e desanuviar com o maior conforto possível. Excedeu as minhas expetativas, desde a chegada à partida.
O pequeno-almoço e as instalações comuns fazem-nos sentir como se estivessemos a viver num castelo em época antiga mas com todas as acessibilidades que a era "moderna" requere. Adicionalmente, devo destacar o cuidado extremo e dedicado dos funcionários que, não só se disponibilizaram para ajudar em tudo o que fosse preciso mas também foram além disso quando informei que faria o check-out antes da hora do pequeno-almoço, tendo sido providenciado um pequeno repasto deixado no quarto para que não me fosse embora de barriga vazia por causa dos meus próprios horários.
Desde o paço, os jardins, a piscina e o ambiente em geral à familiaridade com que fui tratada, não poderia estar mais satisfeita com a minha experiência.
Se procuram um local para ficar, seja em família, a solo ou em casal, apostem no Paço do Vitorino, não se irão arrepender em NADA.
Os meus sinceros parabéns pelo profissionalismo e dedicação por parte da equipa em tudo. O preço do alojamento é absolutamente adequado para todas as comodidades que apresenta e difere em absolutamente nada do que é apresentado aqui no booking.
Recomendo, para qualquer altura do ano. Aboslutamente nada, tudo perfeito.
- nicolas (9/5): -
- Eduardo (10/5): - Muito bonito e óptimo staff
- Gabriel (10/5): Uma experiência a repetir - Tudo! Hotel com qualidade excepcional, renovação de um antigo Paço Histórico feita com extremo bom gosto! Super confortável, pessoal simpático! Pequeno almoço com quantidade qb mas muita qualidade! Ambiente muito agradável!
- Ricardo (10/5): -
- MÓNICA (8/5): -
- Jorge (9/5): -
- Correia (10/5): -
- Maria Cecilia (9/5): Edifício, muito bem decorado com elegância e bom gosto. Jardins aprazíveis e staff muito solicito. - O pequeno almoço estava bem embora omisso no que diz respeito a alimentação para um vegetariano ou vegan.
- Carlos (9/5): - Quartos modernos, muito confortáveis num edifício com cerca de 500 anos e em excelente estado de conservação. Com um bom restaurante na povoação situado muito perto e permitindo uma deslocação a pé.
- Vera (9/5): -
- FERNANDO (9/5): Obviamente a repetir! Recomendo a quem for a Ponte de Lima - Solar excecionalmente bem reconstruído, excelente planeamento arquitetónico e decoração. Muito superior a alguns museus. Colaboradores muito atenciosos. .
- Salomon (10/5): מדהים ממליצים מאוד - מלון מיוחד ומצויין בצפון פורטוגל
החדר היה גדול ומרווח
ארוחת בוקר טובה
מאוד נהננו מהמלון ומהבריכה, אפילו סתם להסתובב באזור של המלון ולהנות מהיופי. הכל מעוצב מיוחד ויפהפה.
ממליצים מאוד
- Pedro (10/5): -
- Nuno (9/5): - Localização, paisagem circundante, tranquilidade, funcionários e a beleza do hotel.
- Rita (10/5): -
- Licinio Perpetuo (10/5): Recomendo - Atendimento 5*. Local tranquilo. Sem comentários
- Nelson (10/5): Truly memorable stay at Paço do Vitorino. We will be back! - We stayed here for 5 nights as a couple and absolutely loved it. The hotel, the house, and our room were all wonderful. The pool was a big highlight—especially in the summer, it was perfect for cooling off. And the breakfast was truly outstanding, the best we’ve had in a long time. Nothing to point out. You need a car to stay at this hotel. Otherwise, you're quite far from the nearest city.
- Sandra (9/5): Adorámos a tranquilidade de todo o espaço e o conforto da cama. - É de salientar a simpatia e disponibilidade da equipa que nos recebeu e tratou tão bem!
- Rosie (9/5): -
- Oxana (9/5): - Magnifique Le petit déjeuner peut être un peu plus élaborer. Deux enfants affamés. 😉
- Antonio (9/5): -
- De Sousa (9/5): Super séjour. - Le personnel qui vous rend le séjour très agréable. L’espace piscine qui est excellent. L’horaire du petit déjeuner un peu tardive.
- Maria (8/5): Prachtige historische plek, ruime kamer en fantastische zoutwater zwembad. - Prachtige historische plek, ruime kamer en fantastische zoutwater zwembad. Kamer was vrij donker en het ontbijt was niet in verhouding tot prijzige hotel. De keuze met het ontbijt was zeer beperkt.
- Frederic (9/5): Bel hôtel à 20 min en voiture de Ponte de Lima - Les lieux magnifiques chargés d’histoire, piscine très agréable, très belles chambres dans les anciennes écuries, bien climatisées, avec une cafetière Nespresso.
L’accueil chaleureux. Il manque peut-être d’un peu de place dans la salle à manger.
- ignacio (10/5): Sabor, elegancia y cariño - Lo excepcional es el Pazo y su entorno, con el río Lima a sus pies y la coqueta ciudad de Ponte de Lima en sus cercanías: extraordinario, exquisito, de auténtico nivel, que conserva todo el sabor y elegancia de una historia que debió ser majestuosa. Pero aún más excepcional es la atención y el trato cercano que Rosario, Sara y todo su equipo te ofrecen en todo momento. Ellos hacen que la estancia en el Pazo se convierta en uno de esos viajes que se recuerdan ya toda la vida.
- Carlos (10/5): - Local bem localizado e ideal para quem procura um lugar tranquilo longe de confusões. A piscina é muito agradável, com uma paisagem fantástica e com a água a uma boa temperatura. Em agosto existe ainda o bar de apoio à piscina.
Ar condicionado muito eficaz.
Staff extremamente simpático. No pequeno almoço destaco a qualidade do sumo de laranja natural.
Existe ainda a possibilidade de usar as bicicletas que o hotel disponibiliza para percorrer a ecopista do Lima.
Sublinho ainda o conforto das camas.
Os quartos são bastantes espaçosos e cheios de pequenos pormenores que nos fazem sentir bem confortáveis. O separador de vidro do chuveiro não consegue evitar que se molhe o chão da casa de banho, mas é um pequeno pormenor que não afeta em nada a excelente estadia.
- Ann (8/5): What a lovely place! -
- Tomas (10/5): Exceptional - Unique place of tranquility and peace with unique spirit and a whiff of history.
Great and pleasant people, stylish and tasty breakfast.
Very nice pool with bar.
We hugely enjoyed our whole stay and will hopefully come back.
- Daisy (10/5): A wonderful, wonderful - Everything! This place is wonderful! So peaceful and the facilities are perfect. The room was spotless and spacious and the salt water pool was super refreshing. Breakfast was lovely and lunch was available from the small bar next to the pool which was an added bonus. Bikes were free to use to go along the river path to Ponte de Lima or in the direction of Viana de Castelo. Nothing!
- Lusław (10/5): Amazing place with superb hospitality ! -
- Ann (10/5): Exceptional -
- Richard (10/5): - Absolutely spectacular! Great spot and staff. Unique and a must visit.
- Sarah (10/5): Exceptional - Great experience - very clean and comfortable.
- Denise (8/5): Wonderful experience - Beautiful historic property A bit far from Ponte de Lima especially for someone without a car has to rely on taxis
- Luis (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tiago (8/5): Very good -
- clareandtrevor (10/5): Absolutely amazing stay - We arrived here after a very wet walk along some of the Caminho Way. We were made so welcome and swiftly shown to our room so we could shower and get some dry clothes on.
This place is stunning and has been restored very tastefully, recognizing its history and family heritage, but also has beautiful modern spacious bathrooms with large walk in showers etc.
Jorge gave us a guided tour of the property and it is clear that he loves his job and is very proud to show guests around. The cellar was amazing with original features preserved including the stone enclosure where the olives were pressed.
Our room was very light and airy and the perfect temperature. There was an adjoining lounge which had an enclosed log burner was a lovely place to relax.
Forgive me for not remembering your name but the lady who served our meals and generally checked if we needed anything was wonderful.
Both dinner and breakfast the following morning were excellent.
We really can’t fault our stay here, our only regret is that we were only here for 1 night and wished we could have stayed longer.
Thank you so much for your hospitality and we would love to return if we are in this part of Portugal
- Michael (10/5): Perfection. - Everything. Nothing.
- Peter (10/5): Very relaxing and beautiful place - Miguel a fantastic host and the restoration of the house is fantastic. Beautiful accommodation. Breakfast a bit lacking in choice and v limited.
- Rudyard (9/5): Memorable stay at the Paco de Vitorino. Worth every penny. - The stay made you felt like Lord of the Manor...and I met the owner during a religious event (which included tea) at the property. Though the hotel was out of the way, the ever helpful Jorge helped with all the transportation and suggested routes when I preferred to walk to Pote de Lima: 8 km. The breakfast was continental; Jorge had upgraded me to a huge room. The bed was covered with divine Portuguese linen. The wifi connection was spotty.
- Kevin (10/5): The perfect location for a very relaxing short break - I booked this as a short 'get away' with my wife for her birthday. We were made to feel very much at home and were able to enjoy a very quiet and relaxing stay.
- Emilie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jan (9/5): Peacefull and relaxing environment - Quite area and unique hisorical accommodation . Friendly staff Breakfast with limited choice & variation . Neverthelss fresh prepared & nicely presented.
- Mario (8/5): Very good -
- Luis Manuel (10/5): - Todo estupendo
- Bjorn (10/5): Exceptional - Really Fabolous!! My wife and I had a very nice and interesting stay during three nights at Paço de Vitorino. The house is an encounter of good taste and hospitality, we really enjoyed the beautiful house and gardens, the breakfast and all services provided. Miguel and Jorge were very friendly and helpful during our entire stay. A truly excellent experience in all senses!
- Carlos (10/5): Exceptional -
- Luis (10/5): Incredibly beautiful and comfortable historical house - Paço de Vitorino is an impressive and beautiful historical house which at the same time offers all the modern comforts of a luxury hotel for those visiting it.
We never tired of exploring the grounds of this house, including its peaceful gardens and fountains. At the same time, we were so well received by all the people working there who went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and were extremely flexible with us (who were traveling with a young baby on this trip). Everything was impeccable. We cannot recommend this place highly enough and hope to come back soon!
- BenandLoulla (10/5): Superb place, location and service - a definite highlight - We stayed here as a destination as part of a walking holiday in the Minho region of Portugal. It was definitely the highlight of 5 places we overnighted. A superb house set in lovely gardens with a pool and stunning views. The rooms and internal decoration are first class, as was the food served outside on a terrace (we were there in early June). Special mention for the host George who went out of his way to be helpful and gave us a super tour of the house - even though we were only there for one night. Paco De Vittorino is a short walk from the riverside walk that leads to nearby Ponte De Lima, it’s a lovely flat route that will take a couple of hours. Highly recommended.
- Miguel (10/5): Exceptional - Incredible renovation project of a 16 century manor house.
- Sarah-jane (10/5): Wonderful wonderful wonderful - This hotel is gorgeous. The perfect mix between historic and modern. We stayed in an old stable converted barn and the room was amazing and spacious! Staff are so friendly and even made us a welcome hamper as we arrive late. George have us a tour of the grounds and the old wine cellar which was very cool to see back to the 1600s aspects of the property. The breakfast was also wonderful. We can’t wait to come back again soon - hopefully when the weather is better so we can enjoy the pool too! Thanks for a great stay :)
- Ines (10/5): Exceptional - Everything. The bed was super comfortable, the place is gorgeous and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. Not staying longer.
- Jurgen (10/5): Exceptional - Set in a very tranquil. Staff is very accommodating. One of the owners gave me a tour of the gardens and the historic part of the small palace. Food was freshly prepared for me and was very delicious.
- Nicola (10/5): Excellently superb and fantastically brilliant 🤩 - Everything can’t wait to return 😊 Nothing everything was perfect 🤩
- Brandon (10/5): Loved it and stayed an extra night - Great room and beautifully restored house and grounds. We really enjoyed the breakfast. We liked this place so much we stayed for an extra night Hard to get service in the evening and have to call before checking in to make sure you aren't stuck outside
- Osvaldo (10/5): Exceptional - Property with a lot of history and modern comfort.
- Mark (9/5): Superb - Great location. A manager who is prepared to go out of his way to meet any request. Not that easy to find. Call beforehand to make sure the vehicle entrance is open.
- Nick (10/5): Fantastic historical place in a naturally beautiful location - The place is beautiful with very friendly staff and great facilities. The pool is fantastic and a perfect place to relax with views down to the river. This is a real gem and I would thoroughly recommend it. Nothing

- Lisa (10/5): It was truly unforgettable in it’s beauty, charm, serenity & comfort! We hope to come back! - Everything! The staff are amazing-very attentive to ensuring a comfortable, serene, and enjoyable stay. We were lucky enough to spend 5 nights at Hotel Paco de Vitorino. The grounds are beautiful and include a large pool. The bed was 10 out of 10 for comfort. . It felt like we were on a retreat, yet close enough to drive to Ponte de Lima, Ponte de Barca, Guimaraes, Braga & explore the Minho region. It was an unforgettable experience!!! Thank you!! Will & Lisa Nothing.
- drzerc (10/5): Heaven away from home - The lovely hotel in near the River Lima and has a big garden swimming pool,
It started when you knock on the gate and dear George opens the gate and Leeds you to the magnificent place. You feel like you are in heaven. George and the all staff give you the feeling that you are a member of the family of the hotel , home away rom home.
- Brenda (10/5): Historic Relaxing Luxury - This is a gorgeous historic hotel/family home and grounds. Super clean, elegant, well maintained, spacious hotel and rooms. Beautiful gardens and pool. Interesting history, and attentive staff. Delicious full breakfast served in the dining room. Nothing.
- Cobi (10/5): It started when you arrived tothe hotel, in a peaceful place near the Lima river, and dear Jorge welcomed you with a big - everything!!!
- SueBer25 (10/5): Very Special Stay - We stayed 2 nights during our B&R biking trip. The General Manager warmly greeted us and paid attention to our needs the entire time. He also made sure my daughter was recognized on her birthday with a lovely morning cake and small gift. The rooms were large and well appointed. Breakfast was fresh and delicious but our favorite meal at the Inn was dinner. The chef made us a light and healthy meal of perfectly cooked turkey, salads and an amazing assortment of desserts. We enjoyed our tour of the property and the children enjoyed the pool. Thank you for a very memorable few days!
- Emeka (10/5): Exceptional -
- Suzanne (10/5): Tranquility, comfort, and beautiful nature - Tranquil setting with lovely garden and beautiful Portuguese architecture. We were able to completely rest and enjoy the peaceful nature. We probably got the best sleep ever while staying at the hotel. We will always remember the view from the pool overlooking the cow pasture and the mountains. The staff is very attentive and caring - it felt like staying at a good friend's or family's home. The hotel has a small family church, a horse carriage, and a game room which were interesting to visit. We were treated with fresh squeezed orange juice for breakfast that was sourced from a tree right on the property. None
- G1587UGpeterb (10/5): An impressive country house - We were greeted warmly by the gate by the manager who gave us an interesting and very informative tour of this impressive old estate. A truly luxurious place to stay that has been renovated to a high standard with retention of many old furnishings. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout. One of the most comfortable beds I have slept in . The grounds and views are very pleasant.
- Aawalker5280 (10/5): Paca De Vitorini Perfection! - Absolutely PERFECT! Impeccable personal service, gorgeous grounds and history. Rooms beautiful and large. Amazing bathroom, lovely linens and towels. Bedroom spacious with view of gardens and mountains beyond, delicious breakfast-should be a 5 STAR!!
- wiresticker (10/5): Perfect - Absolute heaven! This was the second time we have stayed here. What can I say..absolute heaven!
Firstly the location… it is surrounded by beautiful countryside and mountains to the north. 20 minutes drive from Viana do Castelo and the coast. A 10 minute drive to the beautiful Ponte de Lima. We even got to make corn bread with Agostinho in Montaria.
Secondly the hotel…what a mystical place. Steeped in history yet provides all the modern amenities travellers expect. Spotlessly clean with very comfortable beds. Dining in house was a real pleasure.
Lastly the staff. I can honestly say I have never met such attention, professional staff. Nothing was too much trouble. So polite and happy to show us around the hotel (even the kitchen!)
Gave great advice about where to go in the local area.
Rosario, George and Miguel…the hotel staff. Wonderful, wonderful people.
I ask myself would I stay here again? Damn right I will!
