This dynamic, perfectly placed new hostel occupies a grand old house in Amarante's picturesque town centre. Clean if spartan basement-level dorms are complemented by attractively appointed doubles upstairs and a spacious, artfully tiled kitchen where ample breakfasts are served each morning. Best of all is the cool attached bar, with a terrace affording dreamy views over the Rio Tâmega.
