Frommer's Review
The area's most romantic place to stay is at Frades, near Póvoa de Lanhoso, 20km (13 miles) east of Braga. Casa de Requeixo is a massive, elegant stone mansion from the 16th and 17th centuries. Dr. Manuel Artur Norton has beautifully furnished the guest rooms, each with a large living room and a well-maintained bathroom equipped with a tub/shower combination. The quinta (manor house) combines old-fashioned charm with modern-day comfort in a bucolic setting. While based here, you can easily explore the area, including the Minho and Peneda-Gerês national parks.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
