The Story
Casa da Calçada, in Amarante, is not just a precious architectural legacy. It is a place of memories, freedom, a free spirit and a humanist vision, with its heart in the past and its spirit in the future, as has always been its prerogative. A noble, cultured, industrious, revolutionary and charitable house, where intellectuals, dreams of modernity and gatherings passed through. It was where the beginning and restoration of the Republic were conspired and wine was venerated. A truly separate world, where freedom, modernity and progress have always been breathed.
It is also a five-star hotel, the result of the vision of Manuel António da Mota and the total dedication of his daughter Paula Mota, to whom the businessman delegated the emotional task of realizing his father's dream. A relic palace as charming and enchanting as the city of Amarante, in whose historic part it lives, right next to the Tâmega.
A BEACON OF CONSTANCY EMITTING THE LIGHT OF CHANGE
A history of tradition, avant-garde and continuity. In an atmosphere of praise for tradition and a desire for the future, ways of being and doing have been shaped, focused on well-being and sophistication and geared towards good service. Only 35 rooms guarantee the homely profile of a hotel that has always been a home. Elegance, sustainable intelligence, harmony with the land and the city echo in the interior design and in the open and intimate relationship with the city.
In a scene suspended over a river and a time that seems like fantasy, in a tender embrace that is described as magic and eternity, the Casa da Calçada mansion is not just a hotel.
It is a slice of the past, a promise of the future and an exquisite present. It is also one of the most fascinating and emblematic hotels in the North of Portugal.
A PLACE WITH ROOTS THAT GIVES US WINGS, WHERE EVERYTHING REQUIRES POETRY AND DELICACY
A noble and intoxicating experience that brings to the present day the palatial life of the feudal aristocracy and the humanist spirit of exceptional men. Current, contemporary, but aligned with the solidity of eras where space and time walked side by side, slowly and serenely like the waters of the Tâmega border.
The concept of home, a safe and loving place to which we connect through emotion and the people who live there. Authenticity and refinement in one voice. Peace and quiet. Calm and secret privileges tempered by love for the land and Nature and celebrated with the best that they bring us. Forestry and animal. Human and friendly like all the magical and fabled places that only the proximity of forests inspire.
