Sleep

An ancient Pousada de Portugal has given way to a charming hotel. In the heart of the city, the Hotel da Oliveira is a paradise for those who like to read and live with books.

The decoration of the place was made by Paulo Lobo, interior designer, and the result could not be more elegant. It is with discretion that Hotel da Oliveira offers a welcoming stay, with stunning details and a distinctive concept in Guimarães. Its traditional facade has changed little over the years, but the contemporaneity of the Hotel is revealed as soon as we pass the main door.

The reception desk, where there are dozens of books with the hidden spine, is the perfect visiting card – here originality, sympathy and comfort are combined. And it is when we know the place closely that the idea gains strength – at Hotel da Oliveira, culture, literature, poetry and history are highlighted.

In earth tones, the hotel offers us a quiet stay full of individuality, especially not only because it only has twenty rooms (all properly identified with the name of a historical personality, as is the case of Alberto Sampaio), but also because it helps us recharge the batteries for another day in the city. It is even contradictory: this is the ideal starting point to get to know the city on foot, but its facilities make us want to extend the stay.

If you are planning a stay in Guimarães and are looking for a charming hotel in the historic center, Hotel da Oliveira is an excellent suggestion!

Cool Tip: Casa Costinhas is a two-minute walk from the hotel da Oliveira. Take advantage of the proximity to taste the typical sweets of the city, whose recipe has been passing down from generation to generation!
