Our take
I recommend Hotel da Oliveira for travellers who want to sleep inside Guimarães' historic centre. The castle is 150 metres away, every room has its own historical theme, and the breakfast buffet and à la carte restaurant mean you do not need to look far for a meal. Some rooms have balconies, so I would ask for one. It is a town hotel rather than a resort, so look elsewhere if you want a pool or a spa.
- Explore the immediate surroundings on foot; the castle and other historical sites are very close.
- Consider requesting breakfast in your room for a more private start to your day.
- Take time to appreciate the unique historical theme of your room and the hotel's decor.
Why we love it
