We would give more than 5 stars if we could. The best dinner we had in Portugal.

The hotel is located in a village not too far from the Ponte de lima town. Its a really quiet and quaint place but a beautiful place to stay. We really enjoyed our stay there.
The staff are absolutely lovely and are ready to assist where possible. Especially George who was very helpful and assisted and guided us to get to around to places we wanted to visit.
The rooms are lovely and spacious and the surrounding were rural and very nice.

Apartment newly refurbished, all clean and in excellent condition. Space in the apartment is limited, but well organised. On ground floor street noise is no problem.

Quinta Bouca is an amazing place to stay. We really didn’t want to leave. It is so peaceful and relaxing. There are many places to visit nearby. We will be back next year. All of the team are wonderful and looked after us. Breakfast was a real treat. Thank you.

The place was very nice just not quite what we expected.
Everything was clean and the owner was lovely
Needs a little bit of sound proofing and our double bed was small.

A really good hotel in Viana. Rooms are a decent size but furnished minimally. Bathrooms are clean and modern with proper wooden doors and not glass ones. The breakfast was especially good as was the opportunity to have free coffee throughout the day. A short walk into the town centre.

This hotel is a little gem. As the name would suggest chocolate plays a major role in both the design of the rooms and the offerings at breakfast time. The rooms are large and well appointed whilst the breakfast, with or without chocolate, will set you up for the day. There is a small museum about chocolate manufacturing on site as well. I’d be happy to stay here again.
