We wanted to stay in a palace and it is beautiful. The beds are super comfortable. It is a bit of a walk to restaurants and stores, but we had a rental car and wanted a safe spot to park it. Fortunately, Ubers are easy and cheap from here. The breakfast is the best I've ever had! I would definitely choose to stay here again, so quiet.

Beautiful hotel & a wonderful taste of luxury for us. The only issue was the location, which I hadn't researched properly before booking. The hotel offer a free service into the city late morning with a pick up early eve, otherwise it's taxi's. Be sure to download and use the uber app. it works well and makes taxi's much more affordable. The drivers and service we had were all v good.

The hotel is beautiful and very peaceful. It is located outside of Porto and it’s quite a distance to walk into the city. However, the hotel does operate a free shuttle bus once a day, but book a slot early as it tends to fill up. Alternatively, you can get an Uber for about 6 Euros into the town. The breakfast selection is very good and the food in the restaurant was of a really high standard.

The property is very splendid impressive , the staff are consistently well trained and approachable. However we were disappointed with the lack of pressure from the shower, air conditioning worked on winter mode I.e. came on twice a day. The outside pool was under repair, and we found the service to be rather slow.

Just a short Uber from town and worth the views

Property and location were great. Breakfast is very good with a lot of variety and helpful staff. Rooms are very big and a nice view of the river. Too far from town to walk if that's what you are looking for. Only complaints...hard to get in and out of the tub to shower..seemed a little unsafe with the big step in and out. Personally, I didn't like the huge pillow and the even bigger memory foam. I didn't ask to replace and maybe some people really like them..just a personal preference. Overall..very nice and have already recommended.
