Situated just outside of Chavez and near the Spanish border, this is a perfect jumping-off point for journeys around northern Portugal, and seems to be a hub of activity around the town, especially the restaurant. The restaurant was lovely and had huge portions of regional cuisine. The staff is incredibly nice, and the proprietor is a genial host. Just a great slice of life in northern Portugal.
Located in Chaves, Aquae Flaviae is located next to the city's thermal baths, which have medicinal properties.

The hotel is just outside the old town. It is right on the river. There is free parking. The room was spacious and comfortable with views of the river and if we craned to the side we could see the castle. Breakfast was great with specialties from the region as well as the basics. Very good value.

It is a nice place to stay with spa facilities, ideal for a little escape.
Good breakfast. There is a restaurant, and the meals are ok, but a little expensive.
If you like tranquility and calm days I would recomend you to stay only from monday to friday, because in weekends the hotel and facilities are very crowdy, to much guests for me.
We've stayed from thrusday to saturday and the difference was huge, even the breakfast was very much enjoyable in friday than saturday.

I love Chaves, small ancient town which has a river going through it with its own Roman bridge going across it… wonderful restaurants, the food is amazing here in the north of Portugal! Amazing places to stay with fabulous Portuguese restaurants! You’re also close to one of the nicest wine regions in the world! If you drive go trough Régua up the Douro where the grapes are grown! Unbelievable gorgeous, truly stunning

The bridge that dates from Roman times and is normally shown...
The bridge that dates from Roman times and is normally shown in photos is the interesting bit of Chaves. The rest is tired and seems to have suffered economically. The last place we stayed was Guimares. I'd stay 2 days there and not stay in Chaves next time.
That said, apparently there are quite a lot of historical Catholic things here, but not my scene at all.

We really, really liked Chaves.
We really, really liked Chaves. We stayed in the Castelo Hotel which is superb, excellent room - with tea and coffee making facilities! We felt we got a lot of hotel for our money. Very clean and comfortable with excellent staff, helpful and friendly. The castle (museum admission price €1, well worth it just for the views from the top) and its immediate neighbourhood is close by and pleasant to stroll around. An easy walk down to the river brings you to the Roman bridge, a perfect place to sit in the sun and lose an afternoon over a beer or two.
Our first evening meal we had at Taska das Caldas and wished we’d spent our second evening there, too. It’s “characterful”, an “experience” but in a good way! Very friendly host greeted us with a white port, then, because we couldn’t decide on starters, brought lots of lovely taster sized portions. The mains were excellent. No room for dessert we just finished with coffee and were bombarded with shots of various águardentes. Didn’t half sleep well!
The only disappointment was wanting to walk round the park only to find it closed for works.

The city is amazing.
The city is amazing. It has grown so much since I last been there some 30 years ago. The thermae museum is for free and it's very informative, restaurants are abundant and serve great food. Bars ensure some nightlife and the river has many options of entertainment. The kid's park on the main square near the Tamega is of superb quality

Chaves is a very interesting and picturesque town.
Chaves is a very interesting and picturesque town. It has lots of nice, reasonably priced restaurants and bars. We found a nice restaurant just down the stone steps from the Roman bridge. The "house red" was excellent.
We stayed at Aquae Flaviae as first point of cycling the N2 to Faro. Bikes were delivered here a day or so (before we arrived) by courier from rental at Bikeiberia & hotel stored them. 10 minutes after we arrived they put bikes in a secure conference room to store and set them up. Hotel were super helpful, friendly. Breakfast was great, rooms great, bed very comfortable & great location for a quick tour of the town/castle. Staff took photos for us as we set off in the morning. Super value for the high standard of hotel
Breakfast offered was continental style buffet and provided a lot of choice. The hotel has been built within an old facade above a Roman archeological dig. The staff were hospitable and very helpful. Many excellent restaurants in the area. Restaurant Taberno Benito was excellent and great value if you want to eat traditional Portugese cuisine. Can't recommend it highly enough, but book early or you won't get a table.
What wasn't to like. A magnificent setting for a hotel, and a good base to explore Chaves and the surrounding area. We ate in the restaurant one evening (you have to book at reception), there weren't many other there but the food was excellent. As with other hotels breakfast is buffet style and the staff ensure that the food is refreshed on a regular basis. An interesting building in its own right.

This was our 3rd visit in 9 months and we have another booked in July. For us it is conveniently placed and excellent value for money, if you want a 5* hotel, then pay 5* prices. The owners and staff are lovely, very friendly and informative, the same this time as our first visit last year. It's why we returned.
This was one of the nicest places I stayed on my entire 6-week travels through Portugal. Room was really comfortable, as was the bed, the staff were all very nice and helpful, the breakfast was REALLY good, and the location was very central but also very quiet. They did a good job curating the hotel.
Everything was comfortable and convenient at this hotel. There is free parking behind the building, cafes and restaurants nearby. The staff were efficient and friendly, even offering to help with luggage. I loved the antique fixtures and pink marble floors on the staircase. The price was great.
The hotel was modern and very clean. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the owner was always on hand to make sure everything was up to high standard. The restaurant was superb. Everything about our stay was exceptional. Thank you so much Miguel and team!!!!
Spacious room very clean with terrace and table and chairs - very peaceful . It is a mile or so outside the town of Chaves. The centre of Chaves has a great river with pleasant green areas and walkways along the river - well worth a visit.
We had a really lovely 2 night stay. We had the evening meal both evenings which was fantastic and really good value. Staff very friendly and helpful. Lovely terrace to enjoy a beer / wine. A quirky hotel but would definitely go back.
Fantastic place to stay when in Chaves…Centrally located, clean, safe and friendly!!
absolutely no worries when staying here, perfect place to enjoy the scenic and amazing city that is Chaves
This place is a small well-decorated hotel, near the center of the city and the popular riverside area. You can walk from here to most of the city, the breakfast is also a highlight.
