Casa da Calçada - Relais & Châteaux

The Palace has been built during the 16th century, to become one of the Palaces for the Count of Redondo. During the Napoleon’s Campaign, the house had a major role on the defense of Amarante and the road to Porto, being the main head-quarters for the allied commanders (Portuguese and British).

After a thorough study, handled by a team of architects, the original baroque style with some neo-classical elements has been preserved. The decoration, following the romantic style transmits, through the furniture, textiles and exquisite details, the ambience of a family home, where guests return to the past and enjoy the tranquillity and cosiness of the several innermost places at their disposal.
