Lindoso Hotels, Ponte da Barca

"One of our favorite hotels in Portugal. Amazing staff, extremely clean, great spa, 2 pools, outdoor pool bar and everyone is super friendly. Decent breakfast although it was better a few years ago. Always a pleasant stay. "

"Lovely, kind staff and a calm, tranquil setting. Will definitely go back! "

"Beautiful property and wonderful renovation by Eduardo Souto. The site is very serene and calming. Staff was wonderful."

"We just started here and were completely blown away. What we expected to be a comfortable base for exploring the region turned into one of the most memorable stays we’ve ever had. The food, first and foremost, deserves serious praise — easily among the best meals we’ve eaten anywhere. Every dish was thoughtful, fresh, and beautifully executed. The chef is incredibly talented, and the level of quality was simply unexpected for a hotel of this size. It felt more like dining at a Michelin-starred retreat than a small hotel. Beyond the food, the design of the hotel itself was stunning. The architecture blends modern elegance with regional character, and the lighting in the hotel is amazing. You can tell Keren is an interior designer. What really set this place apart, though, were the hosts. They were incredibly gracious and generous with their time, offering genuine hospitality and sharing the story of how they built the hotel. As we’re considering a move to Portugal ourselves, their insight into the process — the challenges, the rewards, and the local culture — was incredibly helpful and deeply appreciated. Ziv was always ready with great suggestions and recommendations for the area This is more than just a place to stay. It’s an experience. We left feeling inspired, well-fed, and extremely grateful. We can’t recommend it enough."
