Our take
Our take on Hotel das Taipas: a modest 3-star address in Taipas village, scored 7.9 by guests over more than 1,300 reviews. The restaurant with local dishes, the bar and the breakfast buffet cover meals without driving, and Guimarães, a UNESCO World Heritage city, is a short drive away. I would choose it for value and a calm village setting, keeping in mind that parking costs extra.
- Consider renting a car to make the most of the hotel's location and easily explore Guimarães and Braga.
- Try the local dishes at the hotel's restaurant for a convenient and authentic dining experience.
- Take advantage of the breakfast buffet to fuel up before a day of sightseeing in the region.

Why guests love itHotel das Taipas sits in the village of Taipas, a short drive from Guimarães, and I see it as a simple, family-friendly base rather than a resort. Rooms are plainly decorated with free WiFi, breakfast is a buffet, and the restaurant serves local dishes, with a bar and a snack bar for lighter meals. Private parking is available for an extra fee, so families arriving by car can keep it close. Plan day trips into the historic centre of Guimarães for sightseeing.
