Boega Hotel

The hotel is great, view from the room is amazing. Also we've got the best dinner in Portugal. But the beakfast was terrible (no fresh juice, no eggs, no coffee). I understand that there was limited amount of guests, but that shouldn't compromise the quality.

Beautiful views! As is mentioned, rooms are generally very dated and the ‘comforts’ are a little lacking, at least in the rooms my cousins and I stayed in. But I was willing to forgive a thin mattress, brown decor and scratchy towel for the incredible space, views and experience that we had as a family. I also have a feeling the main house rooms may be more modern, looking at photos. The grounds are very well maintained - beautiful lawns which receive regular sprinkler action (be aware they come on a couple of times each day, don’t get caught out crossing the lawn!) and the backdrop of the mountains and river is a sight to behold, especially as the sun goes down! The building itself is beautiful, as is the pool, and staff were friendly to us on our stay. Just don’t go expecting The Ritz, but it was a very pleasant stay for us overall. Breakfast is a little basic but well provided for the sweet and savoury (and fussy toddler) toothed! Unfortunately had to cut our first nights meal short as children were too tired, but what we had of the entrée was good! The house ‘Caipirão’ cocktail was amazing and we sunk a few of those quite easily! It was the perfect location between Porto and northern Spain (where we were headed for a family wedding) and broke our journey up really well, and afforded us some quality time together before the big day.

Amazing landview over Minho river, the old house is amazing but unfortunately the room we got is in some kind of annex and need some remodelation. The pool and bar are pretty and great to sun bath.
