Whether exploring the cobbled streets and village shops or admiring the awe-inspiring landscape, guests are immersed in the beauty and history of the Minho and Galicia regions.

The Hotel

Come and spend a few days at Pousada de São Teotónio in Valença do Minho, one of the most beautiful, well-preserved towns on the border between Portugal and Spain. Bordered by the river Lima, this Pousada is located within the fort of Valença, alongside the town´s northern walls. With its unpretentious, comfortable and charming style and access to one of the Santiago pilgrimage routes, Pousada de Valença guarantees you a memorable stay.

With its typical tiled floor and a huge granite fireplace at the entrance, the ancient wood and Viana earthenware not only welcome you, but also set the tone for a pleasant, welcoming and extremely comfortable stay.

If you´re planning to get to know the Minho and Galicia region, the most interesting starting point lies:inside the fortress, down old cobbled streets, where you will discover a picturesque, beautifully kept village with alleys, shops and nooks and crannies ideal for exploring on foot. At the end of the village, alongside the river Lima, you will find the low houses of the pousada, with direct access to the walls and a stunning view.After all, come rain or shine, the landscape in Valença is always fantastic and awe-inspiring. When the sun is out, you can appreciate the greenness of Minho in all its glory and the mist hanging over the riverbanks, shrouding the surrounding area in a mysterious, romantic veil.When the only thing you can make out are the walls of the Cathedral of Tui among the low clouds, you know you are looking at one of the most emblematic landscapes in Minho.
