O Castelo de Guimarães começou por um mosteiro mandado construir por Mumadona Dias no século X, antes, portanto, da formação de Portugal. Como os ataques dos mouros eram frequentes decidiram construir uma muralha para proteger a comunidade e os monges que viviam no seu interior. Foi esta fortaleza que deu origem ao Castelo de Guimarães. Mais tarde, no século XII, foi neste castelo que nasceu Dom Afonso Henriques que viria a ser o primeiro rei de Portugal. Com a falta de uso o castelo foi-se degradando. Recentemente foi recuperado e classificado como Monumento Nacional. É também considerado Patrimônio Mundial pela UNESCO. Um lugar cheio de história e que foi berço de Portugal. Não é à toa que em um pedaço da muralha original tem os dizeres “Aqui nasceu Portugal”.

The Castle of Guimarães began with a monastery built by Mumadona Dias in the 10th century, before, therefore, the formation of Portugal. As the attacks of the Moors were frequent they decided to build a wall to protect the community and the monks that lived inside. It was this fort that gave origin to the Castle of Guimarães. Later, in the twelfth century, it was in this castle that Dom Afonso Henriques was born. Some years after he would become the first king of Portugal. With the lack of use the castle was degrading. Recently it was recovered and classified as National Monument. It is also considered World Heritage by UNESCO. A place full of history and that was cradle of Portugal. It is no wonder that in a piece of the original wall has the words "Here was born Portugal".

5/5 Excellent

"We stayed for one night after getting in late to Porto. We couldn't have asked for more. It was very comfortable and exactly what you look for in an airport hotel - comfort and convenience at a reasonable price. Highly recommended."

"The most amazing staff and hotel , been to PORTUGAL every year since 2021. Would not stay anywhere else . Special thanks to Marcia, Felipe,Rita,Alex,Yuri and Hotel Manager Diogo Bartilotti Matos . My boyfriend had to spend 2 days in the hospital and every night there was pastries , or fruit and drinks in the room waiting for me . And the day he returned from the hospital they provided room services free of charge . Today at check out they had a care package with pastries , fruit and waters for us to travel with . This hotel is more than 5 stars . Words are not enough to express our GRATITUDE ! If anyone travels to Porto THIS IS A MUST TO STAY , CLEAN , GREAT FOOD , WAY BEYOND GRACIOUS STAFF . "

Great hotel

"Booked this hotel for one night as we had an early flight the following morning. One of the best hotels I've stayed in in Portugal. Room was large and clean, staff where brilliant and it's in an excellent location for access to the metro system and airport. There was also the added bonus of a free airport shuttle. Will stay again"

"Lovely hotel with attentive helpful staff . The room was comfortable and very clean with a great walk in shower .The breakfast had an excellent choice and the nespresso coffee machine was a nice touch . It is easy to get to from the airport using Portos efficient metro system . Get off at Trindade and its a 10 min walk . It is also just a 20 min walk downhill to Porto centre but we often used the metro for the uphill return ! There is a bus from just outside the hotel that will take you into centre. Very comfortable base from which to enjoy the beautiful city of Porto "
