Eurostars Porto Douro
Great location with local restaurants and river views. A 15 min downhill walk from metro station but we only used the metro for the airport and everything else very walkable. Staff helpful and breakfast plentiful.

Beautiful room and property. We were in last unit closest to trains so it was noisy when windows opened but we got used to it. Great location. Housekeeping was wonderful when we had requests.
