Pousada Viana do Castelo

Unbelievable. Hotel is awesome, view of Basilica is amazing, but you must request in advance. Great food with Breakfast included as an option…and I do recommend it, btw.

My wife and I have been here twice (wedding anniversary) and just love the unique location. Both times the staff have been very fourtcoming and always done all within their hand to meet our wishes.
We highly recommend this place for it's wonderful location as well as the exceptional attention received by the Hotel staff. We will come again! A big thank you to the wonderful and professional Hotel staff team!

Absolute perfection. Pictured - view from my room. Friendly staff, lovely old school decoration and a 10/10 breakfast. Probably the best value I’ve ever had for a hotel stay.

I give the superior rooms 5 stars because of the spectacular view of the Basílica de Santa Luzia, the city of Viana do Castelo, Lima river, Atlantic ocean, beaches, and the distant mountains all combined into one spectacular panorama. Superior rooms have balconies that directly overlook this amazing panorama. The rooms are large with tall ceilings. They are comfortable albeit everything is quite old and a renovation with better sound insulation between rooms would be nice. You will be hearing the cracking sound of the hardwood floors whenever your neighbors walk, not so pleasant. All superior rooms on the second floor have balconies that overlook the fantastic panorama I described above. So your choice should be a second floor superior room. You will be just a few minutes short walk from the Basilica of Santa Luzia and trust me this is where you want to be when you are in Viana Do Castelo. The basilica is so beautiful inside and out. The service in the hotel restaurant is great. The staff are courteous. But the food could be better and more creative to match the panoramic beauty in front of you whenever you eat there.

I just loved this hotel! The front views are exceptional, the bedrooms are comfortable, and the communal areas are relaxing. Be aware the funicular down into town may not be working so it's a drive or steep steps down - 682 of them! Right behind the hotel is an ancient settlement and right in front is the more modern Basilica, both wonderful places to visit!

Great place to stay while in Viana do Castelo. The stunning view of the sanctuary and the architecture and decoration makes it a relaxing place for a weekend. Thank you for the hospitality!

Exceptional location with views over Santa Luzia and the ocean. Lots of trails around and the air is fresh, crisp, smells like eucalyptus
Best sleep in this trip with comfortable bed, perfect silence and cool air
The hotel is beautiful and elegant inside
Free parking
No gym but outside Pool perfect on a hot day
Excellent restaurant on the premises, small selection we tried almost every dish in two dinners all very good
But the best thing is the PEOPLE working here
They are super nice, helpful, friendly and warm
We stayed three wonderful days here

Fantastic hotel and extraordinary location. Very attentive staff.

Historical building on the hill top to have great view to the city, chapel and the Atlantic. Room is bit old but maintained clean and comfortable.

The only disadvantage of the location is transportation, only on foot or by taxi. The cable car is out of service at the moment.

If you are looking for a luxurious and exotic hotel to stay in during your visit to Viana de Castelo, this hotel is definitely worth considering. The rooms are not only spacious, but also offer breathtaking views of the city and its beautiful landmarks, including the Santuário de Santa Luzia. The staff are well presented and very kind, making your stay even more enjoyable. The hotel goes above and beyond to make special occasions, like birthdays, memorable with their thoughtful gestures. This hotel offers a truly exceptional experience that you won't forget anytime soon.

Lovely place with a.calm.relaxing atmosphere. The staff (Cleiton 😁) are professional and friendly and the views from the rooms and the terrace, over Viana are breathtaking.

The most beautiful hotel and views i have ever experienced, i cannot recommend highly enough, completely stunning in every possible way.

Very nice hotel with an great Atlantic View. For the evening you have pool table card table and some days life piano Play. Enjoy your stay.

Superb views and decent rooms though a little tired in places. Brilliant staff. Approach drive is interesting on cobbles and on a damp day might be very interesting. Overall a lovely hotel though the sandwich making skills in the kitchen belong to little Chef...not Paradore .

This is a magical place to stay. The hotel is very high up and the views are breathtaking. Very comfortable beds . The staff were excellent everyone of them smiled . There is a funicular down into the town or a taxi was only €7 from the town up. We fell in love with this place and would stay here again if we come back here.

Really enjoyed. Was my first Pousadas de Portugal experiência and I really liked it. They did us a room upgrade and the view was gorgeous 😍

A really great place to stay with an amazing view over the city below which you can get from your room's balcony or breakfast on the terrace. The hotel is really a change from the old or modern hotels in a 19th century style that is well kept.

There is plenty of parking and activities around.

The food was really good too and the service was very nice. The breakfast was really great.

Set high on the Monte de Santa Luzia, Pousada de Viana do Castelo overlooks the town of Viana do Castelo. Rooms have panoramic views over the ocean or lush landscapes.

The grounds of Pousada de Viana do Castelo feature an outdoor swimming pool, tennis court and many terraces from which guests can admire the views.

Pousada de Viana do Castelo's restaurant offers local and international gourmet cuisine. Guests can also visit Viana do Castelo and its restaurants by using the Panoramic Elevator of Santa Luzia.

Spectacular hotel. Great staff. Note that if you are walking to the hotel - there are a lot of steps. The vehicular or a taxi may be advisable!

Very nice hotel with fantastic views over the town and Atlantic coast. High up a hill so it's nice and quiet. Make sure you visit the archaeological site next to the hotel and the basilica which is amazing.
