"If you are walking the Camino, this a wonderful, short detour and well worth it for the comfortable bed and lovely pool! We took a 6 euro uber from caminha centre and enjoyed such a lovely, luxury stay during our camino. The location is so peaceful and quiet and the pool did wonders for our aching bodies! Our hosts were so helpful and kind and the standard of accommodation was fantastic. We were leaving early the next day but we were sent on our way with the most amazing breakfast. We were sad...

B&B Hotel Viana do Castelo

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hote, clean rooms, staff is nice. Breakfast was fine with fresh orange juice. It is 10 minutes walk to downtown."

Hotel Flôr de Sal by The Editory

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was well presented and delicious- many choices. Room was very clean. Some of the carpeting in the public areas, such as main stairs, was worn. Jacuzzi was closed for repair. View towards the ocean was fabulous."

"Excellent service and friendly staff"

Tempus Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Things I like about the hotel: The restaurant is exceptional. The breakfast while extra is good. The dinner is excellent. The food and desserts are some of the best I’ve had in Portugal. As a luso-American, I know the importance of complimenting your host’s wine, so I will say it is affordable, but I would appreciate different wine options such as one of the excellent Douro region wines or Porto. The staff is very friendly and kind. The location is also good. Areas for improvement: Having been to other four star hotels in Portugal, I have a certain expectation for the condition of the room. But I do not come from wealth, so I also try to be understanding. The hotel is mid-renovation, which is good because it is somewhat dated. The carpet in our room was stained near the door and there was damage on the lower portion of the walls. To be clear, this isn’t an un-nice hotel, but it did not meet my expectations for a four star hotel. The bar was unmanned every time we went in. However, we stayed there over the Republic Day holiday weekend, so there may have been a staffing shortage. Overall not a bad hotel, but it also does not meet my expectations for the price or star rating. A staffed bar and finishing the renovations would assuage my concerns."

Alma Candida

10/10 Excellent

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Sao Joao?

The best area to stay in Sao Joao is the town centre, particularly around Praça da República.This central area is the heart of Sao Joao and is very walkable. It's characterised by its traditional Portuguese architecture, with many local shops, cafes, and restaurants lining the streets that branch off from the main square. You'll find the historic Igreja Matriz de São João (Mother Church) here, and the area provides easy access to the banks of the Lima River.Couples often find this area ideal for a relaxed and culturally rich trip. The charming streets are great for leisurely strolls, and there are many opportunities to enjoy local cuisine and wine in the evenings. The proximity to the river also allows for pleasant walks along the water's edge.For solo travellers looking for convenience and an inviting space, staying near Praça da República is also a great choice.

When is the best time to go to Sao Joao?

The best time to visit São João is in June, particularly around the 23rd and 24th, to experience the vibrant São João Festival, or during May, September, and October for pleasant weather without the peak crowds.June is the ideal month if you want to immerse yourself in the local culture and festivities. The São João Festival, celebrated on the eve and day of June 24th, transforms the city with street parties, traditional music, dancing, and fireworks. The atmosphere is exhilarating, and you'll find plenty of local food stalls offering regional delicacies. This period is superb for travellers who enjoy lively events and don't mind larger crowds.For those who prefer a more relaxed visit with comfortable temperatures, May, September, and October offer excellent conditions.
