Amarante probably had its origin in the primitive peoples who inhabited the Aboboreira mountain range (inhabited since the Stone Age), although the exact name of its founders is unknown. However, it only began to gain importance and visibility after the arrival of São Gonçalo (1187-1259), born in Tagilde, Guimarães, who settled here after pilgrimage through Rome and Jerusalem. To this saint is attributed the construction of the old bridge over the River Tâmega.

"Our stay went very well. The place is well laid out and the valley is magnificent. The view from Casa da Flor is breathtaking. A car park at the entrance is available to park cars (we were a little dizzy going down, but Helena is a good guide) Helena is an attentive, available and very pleasant host. The outdoor facilities are perfect for relaxing and enjoying the place: swimming pool and hammock by the river. A dream moment of disconnection!"

"Nice property in a quiet location. Very pleasant hosts - always ready to help. Great pool area in private space."

5/5 Excellent

"Everything about this property is lovely, the rooms, the grounds, the ownership and staff. The property has a beautiful view. We had a wonderful breakfast each morning and everyone was very accommodating. Our room was spacious and very clean. The owner was friendly and helpful with every question and request. We came by train and didn't need a car, the walk into town is about five minutes and the owner will call a taxi if needed. There is parking if you do have a car. We took a tour of some of the wineries of the Douro Valley through a separate company and it was the best day of our trip. Regua is lovely and we can't wait to return!"

"OMGosh this is the prettiest hotel. Right on the Douro River. Every nook is a surprise. All the rooms are slightly different so choose wisely and be specific. We had a wonderful dinner in the the restaurant. All the food was very good, just be aware if you have food restrictions etc. as "no dairy/milk" seems to be get confused. Just ask to speak to someone who knows as they actually pride themselves on being able to accomodate Gluten and Dairy free . Having said this, the breakfast is super nicely done. You will not be dissappointed."
