Amarante
A city where the countrysidebegins just outside the door.
On the banks of the Tâmega, between Porto and the Douro, Amarante has the scale of a city that is easy to live in and a landscape where there is still room to breathe.
Amarante
This is where we begin.
This is where we are based. This is where we live. And this is where our families have had roots for generations. We know Amarante as you know a home: through the life that happens every day.
Amarante
From the Tâmega riverbank to the countryside in a matter of minutes.
City and landscape sit very close together here. For us, that relationship is not a recent discovery. We grew up with it.
Amarante
Close when we need it.Far enough when we want it.
Porto Airport is 59 km away, with access via the A4. Having more space does not have to mean organising life around distance.

Some places produce landscape.Amarante also produced ideas.
Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso, Teixeira de Pascoaes and Agustina Bessa-Luís help reveal a cultural identity that goes well beyond the image of the historic centre.
Amarante
The Tâmega is not beside Amarante.It runs through the life of the city.
Walking by the river, rowing, fishing or simply crossing it are part of the everyday relationship with Amarante.
Amarante
Some traditions still know exactly what they taste like.
Roast kid, Maronesa veal, cod and convent sweets remain part of local food. Eating well here does not need to be a special occasion. It can simply be part of the day.
Amarante
Amarante does not close when the weekend ends.
It is a year-round city. For someone looking for more space, that means living at a slower pace without giving up having life around you.
