This small boutique hotel has rooms right on the Douro River. The view was amazing! Located in the historic old town, it was convenient to walk everywhere. The room and bathroom were large and roomy, and the bed and linens were comfortable. Breakfast included was very good, with many fresh fruits, breads, and eggs to order.

The location was excellent. We had booked a room with a city view but all we saw was an alley. Staff were very nice and we had our laundry done for 30 euros! The breakfast was good but if you wanted eggs etc it was an extra fee which was not obvious. Area was noisy at night. Overal a nice stay in Porto.

Second day breakfast was probably worst of any B&B we stayed at. First day was much better. Not a good note to leave on…

This location is wonderful and the staff was excellent. The property is so small that it lacks some amenities but it’s a trade off to the location and the special feel of the hotel.

Absolutely fabulous and charming location in the historic river front area. Breakfast was fantastic and the hotel front desk, especially Luis, went out of his way to give suggestions, lend a hand, share maps, and engage in wonderful conversation!

A very beautiful place to stay with an amazing view! We stayed on a Friday-Saturday and it was a bit noisy being in such a popular nightlife area, but worth it.
