Casa Da Calçada
Relais & Chateaux
A short 38km drive outside Porto city is the
fairy-tale village of Amarante, located halfway
from Oporto and the luxurious landscapes
from the Douro valley, on the bank of the Rio Tamega. Tourists
have been coming to Amarante for many years, wanting to take
advantage of the region’s natural beauty and majestic scenery, and
ancient creations such as the Roman Bridge over the river Tamega.
One of the most visited hotels in the region is a charming
hotel called Casa da Calçada, a 16th century palace that was
wonderfully restored and converted into a hotel in 2001. The
charismatic hotel is a leading rendezvous place for the political
and intellectual figures, and widely regarded by the Portuguese
Government as a building of high architectonical, historical and
cultural relevance, often regarded as one of the most emblematic
and representative of Portuguese hospitality.
Casa da Calçada is one of the Relais & Chateaux properties,
which radiates in luxury and splendour. Its high quality standards,
unequalled amenities and warm courteous staff provide a
consistently hospital environment and atmosphere.
The spacious and comfortable bedrooms and suites feature
stunning views out over the river and town square, all with
modern furnishings. By night, the award winning Michelin star
restaurant is the perfect place to go on a culinary journey of
discovery.
For golfers, fantastic packages such as the “Gourmet and Golf
Package” always prove popular, with golf being provided on the
hotels sister course, Amarante Golf and the five 18-hole courses
that surround this exciting region.
