Lérias with History: Find out all about the exciting past behind this Mercan accomodation

Located in the heart of Amarante, overlooking the flow of the Tâmega River, Casa das Lérias celebrates the local history, culture, and timeless flavors.

This elegant accommodation was developed through the rehabilitation of a historic building that once housed one of the city’s most beloved bakeries - Casa das Lérias. From there came the revival of several traditional Portuguese conventual sweet recipes, among which the Lérias stood out as a symbol of culinary heritage. Today, they lend their name — and spirit — to this unique property.

Restored by Mercan Properties and managed by AHM - Ace Hospitality Management, Casa das Lérias blends the charm of tradition with the comfort of contemporary design. Guests are invited to experience a calm and welcoming atmosphere, where the region’s cultural identity is preserved in every architectural detail and hospitality touchpoint.

Surrounded by history and nature, Casa das Lérias reflects Mercan’s vision for sustainable tourism — developing spaces that protect cultural legacy while creating long-term value for local communities.

The accommodation also includes a riverside terrace café and bar, an outdoor pool, and garden spaces designed for serenity and rest.

Casa das Lérias is a testament to Mercan Properties’ commitment to revitalizing urban heritage and delivering meaningful experiences that connect guests with Portugal’s authentic character.
