O Castelo de Guimarães começou por um mosteiro mandado construir por Mumadona Dias no século X, antes, portanto, da formação de Portugal. Como os ataques dos mouros eram frequentes decidiram construir uma muralha para proteger a comunidade e os monges que viviam no seu interior. Foi esta fortaleza que deu origem ao Castelo de Guimarães. Mais tarde, no século XII, foi neste castelo que nasceu Dom Afonso Henriques que viria a ser o primeiro rei de Portugal. Com a falta de uso o castelo foi-se degradando. Recentemente foi recuperado e classificado como Monumento Nacional. É também considerado Patrimônio Mundial pela UNESCO. Um lugar cheio de história e que foi berço de Portugal. Não é à toa que em um pedaço da muralha original tem os dizeres “Aqui nasceu Portugal”.

The Castle of Guimarães began with a monastery built by Mumadona Dias in the 10th century, before, therefore, the formation of Portugal. As the attacks of the Moors were frequent they decided to build a wall to protect the community and the monks that lived inside. It was this fort that gave origin to the Castle of Guimarães. Later, in the twelfth century, it was in this castle that Dom Afonso Henriques was born. Some years after he would become the first king of Portugal. With the lack of use the castle was degrading. Recently it was recovered and classified as National Monument. It is also considered World Heritage by UNESCO. A place full of history and that was cradle of Portugal. It is no wonder that in a piece of the original wall has the words "Here was born Portugal".

"This is a difficult review. There was incredible and ugly. First off, this is a Spanish villa originally from Roman times. The place is surreal. Wish we had time to stay 2-3 days and soak it all in. From the dining hall to the chapel, ancient Roman rock carvings . The housekeeper is amazing and breakfast was hand delivered in an antique dining room . Can’t thank her enough. The bad. The Axis management. Could not be more unhelpful or disrespectful. thought we had said we would be on bike. No...

Stay Hotel Porto Aeroporto

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed one night since it was about 10-15 walk to the airport. Good clean hotel. Quiet. All the amenities including a mini balcony to get some fresh air. One thing I couldn’t work was the TV but they have working WiFi so no bother. Breakfast was continental nothing special for the price but cheaper than airport breakfast. The hotel is good but nothing around except the airport. A couple of restaurants sparsely located near by. Good for a night or so. "

"The service was outstanding from start to finish, from the airport pick-up to the check-out. We were welcomed with wine and fruits upon arrival, and the reception staff kindly escorted us to our room, explaining all the amenities. The breakfast spread was excellent, featuring a variety of delicious delicacies. We would definitely return and highly recommend this place!"
