It is a lovely old property. The bedrooms are quite small & a wee bit worn but had a comfortable bed with beautiful linens. The bathroom looked newer. Very ornate marble with a good shower. Parking in the grounds was a bonus. The small bar was nice for drinks & snacks. Its in a good location to walk down to the buzz but a steep hill on the way back

The staff was great - always ready to provide advice on things to see and do in Porto. The provided breakfast service was also great. I liked the location, close to the historic area of town, but just far enough that if driving a car you could in and out of the hotel area easily to visit sites outside the city. My room was new, large, and comfortable. Great place to stay for leisure or work.

This hotel is a stunning oasis in a fairly gritty section of Porto. We came up the street looking for the hotel and could not believe that it could possibly be on that street after the pictures we had seen online, but it is as beautiful in person as it is shown. Our room was big and bright with a beautiful bathroom. The breakfast room is absolutely gorgeous and the breakfast was substantial. The staff was terrific and very helpful. While we did not care for the neighborhood much and they were very limited restaurants, but it was only a five minute walk to a metro. Even though the neighborhood was not desirable would still highly recommend this hotel due to its beauty and excellent breakfast.

Beautiful castle!!

This hotel is a little out of the tourist area- a plus for us. It is beautiful and like staying at an exclusive estate. The staff at the desk and at breakfast couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. Breakfast was varied and tasty. This was a wonderful experience!!!

My partner and I stayed in one of the newer garden front rooms for 5 nights and enjoyed every minute. The hospitality was wonderful, the rooms were quiet and quite spacious. It rained most days so an umbrella was put outside our door for our walk to breakfast. The bathroom was clean with beautiful shower pressure. We enjoyed a good breakfast every morning with nice variety of hot and cold. I didn’t really like the coffee machine but was able to pick a coffee to suit my taste. The accommodation was not too far from the city centre and we walked it each day. Turn left for 2 minute walk fruit and veges and laundromat(7€ for wash and dry). Turn right for city centre and all sites. We loved our stay here and very happy for our stay.

Delightful Place to Stay in Porto

A charming and interesting hotel in a quiet part of Porto. The main center is a quick walk and the hotel is really beautiful. You should stay there just for the architecture alone. Our room was very large and the staff were super helpful with suggestion of places to go to and pointed out everything on a map. Definitely would stay here again should I be lucky enough to return to Porto.

Never have I ever stayed in a castle before. Very unique room in the castle tower. Period details galore but also with modern finishes. Hosts were very nice and any communication with them was fast and courteous. Would have loved to have a small fridge in room but...I will say the bed was a bit too hard for my liking and pillows not firm enough. Clean, clean and clean. Just a short walk to the main part of city
