Quinta do Caminho, Al ★★★

"Sehr gemütliche Hostel, angenehme Gastgeberin, es gibt ein leckeres Frühstück"

Pousada de Valença ★★★★

"There can be no better location within Valença. The hotel offers breathtaking views of the river and Spanish Galicia. The staff were friendly and attentive: assisting with my onward travel and kindly offering me a coffee on the way out. Breakfasts were rich and had something for every taste."

Hotel Lara ★★★

"Stayed here for several nights and found the rooms adequate with a comfortable bed and place to sit. It is located just outside the old town and is an easy walk from both the bus and train station. It is also near a good supermarket and there are several restaurants nearby. Breakfast was adequate, although there was no plain yoghurt on the last day and the hot selection was not in Bain Marie's so went cold quickly (the bacon and scrambled eggs were nice). Rooms could be improved with a small fridge and kettle and I don't like this habit in Portugal of providing paper cups individually wrapped in plastic. It was good to see that they didn't provide bottled water (the tap water is perfectly fine to drink or, if you must, but your own). Staff were not overly friendly, especially the older male on reception. That said, would I stay there again, yes as it was good value for money (I booked direct, which is unusual for me) as the price was much better."

Quinta da Casa Alta ★★★

Typical house with swimming pool ★★★
