Hotel berhampiran Poça da Veiga, Barcelos

What a wonderful week we had, returning again to the charming and friendly Bagoeira Hotel. We’ve been visiting for nearly 20 years, having found it by chance on a road trip through the north of Spain and Portugal. Now, we tend to take the easy flight to Porto and the hire a car for the 40 minute drive. Together with its excellent restaurant this modern and comfortable hotel, with its friendly and professional staff, offers an oasis of calm. It’s at the heart of Barcelos, by the large market area, which hosts one of the largest European markets every Thursday. The restaurant offers excellent traditional Minho food. As for most of Portugal, half portions are usually large enough. A large wine list, with a very good range of ports accompanies the a la carte and special daily dishes menus. Now Covid has gone, we shall be back more often to meet our Bagoeira friends again! David and Joan

Mucho ruido, del tráfico a la noche no co sigues dormir ni descansar. Una pena el hotel esta muy bien. Debem rectificar eso, sino es uma pesadilla.

Es kam alles anders als geplant. Ursprünglich war Famalicao als Mittelpunkt für Fußballspiele und die umliegenden Städte wie Braga, Barcelos oder Guimaraes sowie das Douro-Tal geplant, am Ende verbrachte ich eine Woche mit Corona in diesem Hotel. Hier darf ich das Hotelpersonal sehr loben, die mir gute Empfehlungen für Apotheken und Teststellen geben konnten. Neben dem Hotel gibt es zum Glück auch einen großen Supermarkt. Das Hotel liegt direkt gegenüber dem Fußballstadion vom FC Famalicao. Ich konnte vom Zimmer direkt auf das Stadion blicken. Das Hotel ist noch sehr neu und die Zimmer waren exzellent isoliert zum Gang und den Nachbarzimmern, ein riesiges Qualitätsmerkmal meiner Meinung nach. Auch das Badezimmer war sehr modern gestaltet mit Regenwalddusche. Das Frühstück (das man in Portugal aufgrund fehlender Isolationspflicht auch normal einnehmen darf) hat mich hingegen leider nicht überzeugt. Es gab jeden Tag exakt das Gleiche, aber zum Glück hatte ich sowieso nicht so viel Hunger. Kostenlosen Tee oder Kaffee kann man sich den ganzen Tag an der Tee-Bar holen.

We arrived too early to check in, but were able to leave our bags, and offered bottles of water. Anna checked us in and was wonderful. The room was spacious and had a small fridge, stovetop, microwave/oven, and dishwasher. The location was right next to the old city. The view from the outdoor patio was priceless. I would highly recommend this guesthouse.

This is in a great location. It is a ten to twenty-minute walk to Santa Barbara Gardens, the Braga Se Cathedral, the Roman baths, and many more sites. The restaurant in the hotel is excellent; they prepared a special dessert for us when we were visiting with some friends from the United States. It is within walking distance of many excellent restaurants, Thai, Portuguese, vegetarian, Indian, and barbecue to mention some. The hotel's service is the finishing touch to the experience. It is efficient, professional, and friendly. They accommodate any reasonable request quickly and with pride. This Hotel is a Great Stay

Ótima localização, serviço, atendimento e atenção tanto na recepção como no restaurante. Boa organização para não haver incómodos de falta de mesas no pequeno almoço. Pequeno almoço excelente. Experiência sem dúvida a repetir e a aconselhar.

Hotel eccezionale! Tutto al massimo: pulizia della stanza, gentilezza del personale, colazione ricca con prodotti freschi e ben assortiti. Attenzione massimo ai prodotti senza glutine e senza lattosio. Ambienti ben riscaldati nonostante gli spazi immensi; stanze con domotica e bagno grande super con doccia e vasca. Non si può desiderare di meglio! Complimenti al Melia! Sicuramente ci torneremo! All'esterno possibilità di parcheggio gratuito. L'unico piccolo neo è la distanza dal centro peraltro non eccessiva. Bravi i ragazzi dello staff!

We spent three nights at Torre de Gomariz for some rest and relaxation after hiking a portion of the Camino Portuguese, and it was a great choice. Room was very spacious with a nice patio and huge bathroom. Enjoyed a view of the pool and the vineyards in the distance. Bed was very comfortable and it was nice having A/C for our stay. Only complaint about the room was a weird door at the back of the walk in closet that wasn't soundproofed, so often you could hear your neighbors or people walking by. Didn't want to take the car out so we ate all our meals at the property. Breakfast was excellent with both a cold buffet and choice of hot entrees - really enjoyed the pancakes with Nutella. Dinner was on the second floor of the Tower, with a good mix of Portuguese and other offerings. Servings were pretty huge, so we left full every night. It did get loud one evening as there was a tour group taking up most of the restaurant, but fortunately they went to bed earlier than us so it calmed down by dessert. Also did a wine tasting one afternoon, fun to try the various wines and really enjoyed the slight carbonization they use in the white wines. Very surprised when they gifted us with three bottles upon check-out from the hotel, and they came in handy as we were not a huge fan of the wines in Douro or Braga. The spa and pool area are a great offering, especially on rainy days when the outdoor pool isn't possible. We used the steam room and sauna every day of our stay, highly recommend reserving a visit. I also got an excellent massage on the last day of our stay as I was still a bit sore from hiking. Only other issue with our stay was an ill-timed fire alarm at 1:30 in the morning, which took a little time to shut off as most of the staff was still working a wedding. Didn't have a problem falling back to sleep, and the staff nicely gave up 15% off our spending for the inconvenience. Wasn't expecting that, and it was much appreciated. Would definitely stay here again if we find ourselves in Portugal again.

Stayed here for one night while walking the Camino from Porto. Situated about 10 minutes walk from the beach in a very quiet area. The hotel is absolutely spotless throughout. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The staff were especially friendly. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice. Highly recommended.
