The Hotel Mestre de Avis – Master of Avis, is one of the best situated Hotels of Guimarães. It is in the city center close to the historical part with its Toural, which is the main square as well as the most idylllic spot of the city and only five minutes from the motorway. The hotel, located in a historical building, was found in 1998. It has a total of 16 rooms on 3 floors, offering its guests a pleasant stay to a very accessible price. By car or even on foot you can visit the best and most fascinating historical and cultural sites and benefit from the great leisure amenities of the city of Guimarães.Due to its location close to the major sights, you can enjoy the city both in the daytime and at night.
Excellent two-star that would be a solid three with an elevator. Conscientious staff, decent breakfast (real juice would be great but otherwise very good) and super location. Water pressure can vary. But no real complaints.

Located in the historical center of Guimaraes, declared a World Heritage Site in 2001, the House of Juncal is located within the old city walls and amongst the main squares: Toural, Oliveira and Santiago. The result of careful restoration, maintaining the traditional construction of typical noble Minho Houses in the eighteenth century,whilst accomodating the needs of the twenty-first century traveller. We have incorporated history, architecture, design, culture and art, never relinquishing comfort.
Great host, very friendly, wonderful breakfast, super clean and right in city centre! We stayed in this beautiful city for four days and couldn’t have enjoyed more! It was A very hot weekend and the A/C worked just perfectly!

Casa de Sezim became the ancestral home of the present family in 1376. The original vellum documents still exist and record that Maria Mendes Serrazinha gave Casa de Sezim to Afonso Martins a descendant of D. João de Freitas a companion of D. Afonso Henriques, the first king of Portugal. The document states that Casa de Sezim was given to Afonso Martins in recognition of " As boas graças que dele recebeu e espera receber e por crença que lhe fez", the good works received from him and hope to receive and for his trusting belief.
We stayed at Casa de Sezim for two nights with two of our children aged 18 and 22. The house is amazing, faded grandeur but decorated like a photoshoot ,and the staff were attentive and friendly when needed, but just left us to enjoy and relax while we were there. We felt very much at home. Fantastic breakfast, lovely pool but the highlight was probably the Casa dog who stayed with us for the duration of our stay...I don't think I've ever met such a smart dog!

ADVICE: Never try to stay here ! This lady Joana is a scammer. -She states that our cc details are not valid when they are. -says she is overbooked, tried to scam people with a worse reservation at a budget hotel (and tells that we can have breakfast at pr suites...1km away), then she puts the vacancy from our reservation more expensive in booking. -cancels without further warning. -insults me... Little did she know that I am well aware how booking.com works and how correct they are with the customer. -the lack of customer service is too strong,please stay away from pr suites. -GOOD THING: BOOKING SAVED THE HOLIDAYS AND GAVE ME A REFUND OF THE DIFFERENCE OF THE STAY WE HAD IN HOTEL DE GUIMARÃES!(HIGHLY RECOMMEND HOTEL DE GUIMARÃES)

This place is located within the area classified as a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO and yet it is reasonably priced. The appearance from the street is not very inviting but if you like the charm of old family owned inns, this is the place for you. The lady at the reception is extraordinarily friendly, the place is squeaky clean and the rooms are comfortable. The breakfast spread is rather limited but you will not leave hungry.
