Casa das Lérias

An extremely pleasant boutique hotel, very well designed for both enough privacy and interaction with other guests (very friendly atmosphere, I may add). The staff was wonderful and very helpful with suggestions about events (like a huge merchants’ and farmers’ market), restaurants and places to go to. The breakfast was simple but with all the needs and enough variety for a sustainable morning meal. The cosy atmosphere was really appreciated. A very well-run place indeed 😊. The large backyard lawn with the swimming pool (small as it was) was a very relaxing place to lounge, and enjoy a drink or a simple sandwich. We really enjoyed our stay. Its location is perfect to visit the centre of Amarante, a very charming town indeed.

Nothing.

This was an absolutely modern hotel with a wonderful patio/pool area. The location was in the heart of Amarante and walking distance to everything. The staff were all so nice and in particular, Anna who took a lot of time to answer my many questions. Given the levels between the street, the rooms and the pool area, the elevator was greatly appreciated.

While I really appreciated that they tried to offer hot items for breakfast such as scrambled eggs and bacon rather than just bread and cheese, these items were lukewarm at best. I think their heating equipment was letting them down. Otherwise, the breakfast offered had many options.

Lovely hotel, with nice gardens running down to the river. Perfect place to relax and enjoy Amarante (outside of fiesta time). Staff friendly and very helpful.

We managed to book the week of the fiesta (early June) which was great on one level, (lots going on and great if you want to party) but also meant we got very little sleep (the fun fair was on the opposite bank). It would have been good to have known about the festival in advance so that we could have adjusted our travel plans.

We loved our stay here so much that we’ve booked another 2 nights for the end of the month. The property was clean and modern but with details complimenting its history and the character intact. The pool was lovely and comfortable sun loungers. The staff were helpful and friendly. Location is perfect, just a short walk through the historic centre if you’re arriving by bus - the bus is 45 minutes from Porto.

The only thing that could be improved for me would to have a couple of vegan options

great views from our balcony , short walk to the church, bridge and restaurants, breakfast was fantastic with a great assortment of cold and hot. the property has a nice area to lounge in around the very clean pool. Staff very friendly and helpful we got lucky and got a parking spot on the street directly across from the hotel otherwise parking can be a bit difficult to get to

the corner room has great views and balconies on either side but can get very hot as the sun heats the room up. Took about 3 or 4 hours to cool down

This was a nicely kept property in a great location. Our room was fantastic - Contemporary, with huge windows leading to a balcony adjacent the pool and gardens. Breakfast was outstanding. Hotel staff was MOST accommodating. The hotel was directly adjacent a pedestrian shop area that led to the bridge and church. There were lots of great shops and tiny restaurants just on the other side of the river.

Using GPS, the hotel was difficult to find - lots of hilly, cobbled, narrow, 1 way streets. BUT, once we found it - VERY nice. Staff member offered and rode with us to show us the overnight parking lot adjacent to hotel. The driving in and out of the area was a bit harrowing at times.

Great location close to the centre of town. Breakfast look was very nice, good choice for breakfast. Beautiful town with a river.

The shower room was very small and the glass door and curtain provide minimal privacy. The shower leaked onto the floor and the floor towel catches in the door every time you want to close it. The hotel lost all its A/C one night, so it was incredibly hot, but it was fixed by the next day.

Our large room had views over the terrace and garden which was so serene. The entire hotel is so tastefully decorated with lovely Art Deco details. Breakfast was great, with the cafe closed to the public until breakfast service was over. I had a great conversation with a staff member there (enjoy your internship!) while I waited for my husband to bring round the car. I loved everything about the hotel and you cannot beat the location by the river in the old town.

Pulling up outside the hotel to drop off/load luggage isn’t easy with the narrow and busy streets. Finding parking takes a bit of effort but the locals told us about the spot where the market normally takes place which is free to park in.

The staff was amiable and courteous! Special mention to Daniel who went out of his way to help us with our air-con unit which had stopped working and he managed to make it work again. The swimming pool area was lovely and the hotel is in the city center. The rooms were spacious, well-lit and spotless!

The only downsides were two: When we arrived at the hotel we were informed that our room wasn't ready yet due to an issue with the previous guests. While this is something out of their control, we did have to wait for about 50 mins to check into our room (we were served complimentary coffee but it did not make up for the fact that we had to wait that long). Whatsmore, the breakfast was rather poor and dull.

The hotel is very well placed, right by the river: close to the shops, the restaurants, the market. They offer a free parking place behind the hotel. The staff is really friendly and helpful. Awesome view of the river from the back garden. Lovely pool. Very comfortable mattress, clean towels, nice balcony.

I was not a fan of the bathroom though. Not practical at all, very cramped. It was impossible not to splash, no matter what I used (the shower, the sink or the toilet / bidet). Because of the design, the door was not closing completely and for privacy you had to use the curtains...
