Going back soon
Hotel location is perfect, stones throw from the beach, 15 minute bus ride into Porto, half a dozen local restaurants within walking distance, 5 star restaurant with the hotel. Beach is lovely does not get crowded, locals very friendly. If you like walking its about one & half hrs walk into Porto, but its all downhill beside the river, its beautiful. Once into Porto, you must go into the Port houses for there tours, only about 4 or 5 euros
We have been twice, both times in September, have been able to sun bathe, & walk around in shorts & t-shirts

We’ll be back!
We wanted to stay on the beach yet be close to Porto and this was the perfect location. Just steps from the beach, and a lovely hour stroll on the boardwalk (or 5-10 min. taxi) to the port lodges of Porto, Casa Branca was a fine choice. The staff was welcoming and curteous-- they even smiled-- an unusual gesture by European hotel staff. Of note, before entering the pool, all patrons must wear swim caps (avail. for purchase), so if you have one, bring it. The friendliness and approachability of the people was not isolated to the hotel. We encountered one after another of kind, helpful locals, and fully enjoyed the hospitality of the city. Relaxing, beautiful and approachable, Porto is not to be missed. Bear in mind that the best food in Porto can be found off the beaten track. Look to the quieter side streets.

great deal and awesome beach front location!!!
We arrived at Porto airport in the morning and had an horrible person from information try to tell us where hotel was located at. they said "take a cab". i am about adventure and having a good time. My wife and I finally found our way there about 3 hrs after we arrived. Its pretty simple from city center. theres local bus #10 or you can take the metro to casa da musicia and take the #402 i belive to valades. Its not so hard. Its nice because its aways from the city center and such a beautiful place and ocean is so lovely. it only rained twice in five days. we got very lucky and just had a blast and shopped. save space for shopping it is cheap. alot of nice churches. Hotel beds were not comfortable at all. I almost wanted to sleep on the floor because they were so hard. other than that the staff were awesome and free continental breakfeast was a plus!!! thanks hotels.com
