Casa das Lérias, an inviting and historical for travelling, perfect for couples, families, and even pets, has been featured in NiT Porto magazine for its unique blend of relaxation and elegance. Situated in the historic town of Amarante, Casa das Lérias occupies the site of the renowned Confeitaria de Amarante, once owned by Alcino dos Reis. After a period of closure, the 1930 building was revitalized in 2020, transforming into a boutique hotel while preserving its famous café and delectable lérias.

With 23 elegantly designed rooms, each offering a serene view of the Tâmega River, the hotel exudes a harmonious atmosphere where charm, modernity, and comfort seamlessly converge. The rooms are decorated in light brown, white, and green tones, perfectly complementing the surrounding nature. Whether you're staying in a single room or a suite, tranquility and elegance are guaranteed.

The hotel's café, a cherished local spot, serves breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks. Guests can enjoy a variety of refreshing beverages on the panoramic terrace overlooking the garden and outdoor pool. The menu features a range of options, including salads, quiches, omelets, and a range of different and delicious sandwiches. For a more substantial meal, the café offers delightful choices like the garden salad with vinaigrette, classic Caesar salad, and the "Casa das Lérias" bowl, a delicious mix of couscous, chickpeas, preserved lemon, olives, tomatoes, zucchini, chives, goat cheese, and fine herbs. 

Casa das Lérias enjoys a prime location, just steps away from the São Gonçalo Church and Bridge, and a short walk from the vibrant 31 de Janeiro street, filled with restaurants, wine cellars, and pastry shops. The beautiful watermill trail and Amarante's forest park are also nearby, offering picturesque exploration opportunities. A highlight of the boutique hotel is its garden and outdoor pool area, a "little oasis" where guests can relax on sun loungers, take a dip in the pool, and enjoy the tranquil river views. The private garden is perfect for children to play and pets to roam freely.

Enhancing the relaxation experience, Casa das Lérias has introduced a new massage room in collaboration with local natural oil brand Oliófora. Guests can choose from classic relaxation and anti-stress massages to specialized treatments for eye rejuvenation and muscle recovery. The massage room is open to both hotel guests and visitors. For those seeking a blend of history, relaxation, and modern comfort, Casa das Lérias in Amarante is the ultimate destination.
