    We loved this place! The communal concept- shared kitchen and lounge space- very thoughtful and organized. Our room was charming, comfortable and quality linens and towels. Fabulous local recommendations.

    So homey and lovely. The breakfast that was left for us was so thoughtful. It was spotless and warm and wish we could have stayed longer.

    Everything except the hard bed. If they had softer beds I would probably move in. Wonderful staff, facilities and location!

Company info

The Dona Emilía Guest House, located in the main square of Viana do Castelo, is managed with the passion of close friends from different backgrounds and expertise. Rami El-Zein, a serial entrepreneur, and Sofia Araújo, the creator of the É d'Biana fashion brand, met randomly in 2017 in Viana do Castelo, while Rami was doing the Camino. They decided to create a company that would offer safety and peace of mind for pilgrims, and Easyhike was born. The concept of the Dona Emilía Guest House and apartments is to make you feel at home away from home with comfort, vintage design, and the welcoming vibe of Viana do Castelo.

Property info

Dona Emília GuestHouse and our new Lima Studio apartments are located in the center of Viana do Castelo. The guesthouse is overlooking the Praça da República square in a century-old building with two floors.

For guests that prefer calmness, our new Dona Emilia Lima Studio apartments are a 3 minutes walk away from the main square, river, the beach, and a vibrant array of restaurants and bars.
