We enjoyed our stay here it was very different which gave it a lot of charm. Located opposite a large supermarket which was a positive as it had basic cooking facilities. Breakfast was very good. The grounds were beautiful and the walk into the centre of town was probably about 2 kms but an easy and picturesque walk. Just a few cons - no signs for reception so we ended up knocking on the door of the private residence, we booked a double bed but had twin beds, it was very hot in the room and even though there was an electric jug there was only 1 teabag and 3 sachets if sugar! Hard to make a coffee!! Overall I would certainly recommend staying there.

Lovely welcome, relaxing stay! Great advice on best local beaches!Only downsides were the very small shower, bit mouldy around it too....and the sprinkler system outside our bedroom door caused broken sleep as it went on at 2:30 am and 7:00am!

Beautiful house on the outskirts of Viana da Castello. Nice ambiance, great garden and a warm, helpful and friendly staff. Unfortunately the distance to the city is quite far, and the surroundings of the compound outside the compounds walls not that nice. A lot of new buildings, a busy road and a big suoermarket are located next door.. However the great breakfast and the superb accomodation with swimming popl & flower gardens make up for everything :-))

Casa do Ameal is a large guest house with wonderful gardens and grounds and pool. Staff are excellent and Isabel, the guest house manager, is a lovely and very helpful lady who went out of her way to make our stay as pleasant and enjoyable as she could. Breakfast was very good and served in a delightful room.The guest house is close to the historic center and easy access to the major highways to Porto, Braga etc and major shopping. The only negative was our expectations of our room. I believed I had booked a suite with a bedroom and sitting area. What I ended up with was a small room with a double bed and an en suite bathroom. Not sure where the communications went wrong. That said, Isabel immediately realized our disappointment, and since no other rooms were available, very kindly made arrangements so that we would have access to a part of the guest house which was not normally available to other guest. For that we were very appreciative.
