Casa do Ameal

On Portugal’s north coast, about 1–2 km from Viana do Castelo, this family-friendly guesthouse sits a short drive from the ocean and key sights like Elevador de Santa Luzia, Praça da República, Capela de Nossa Senhora de Agonia and Museu do Traje.

Step into a 16th‑century Minho manor with original architecture, a private entrance courtyard topped by a stone fountain and pond, and its own handicrafts and costumes museum. The property is wrapped in ancient verdant trees for total privacy and has eight guestrooms with minibars, satellite TV and private bathrooms with bidets and hair dryers.

Take a dip in the seasonal outdoor pool, relax on the terrace or in the garden, or let kids loose in the playrooms and arcade/game room. There’s table tennis on site, a tour assistance desk for booking local outings, and free parking—plus the sea is just a short drive away for wake-up sea‑breeze mornings.

Complimentary wireless internet and free on‑site parking keep things simple for remote work or group travel.

A complimentary continental breakfast is served daily from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM to get your day started before heading out to explore the region.
