9.4/10 Exceptional! (110 reviews)
Filipino contacted me through what apps when I landed. When I was looking for the front door, she came out to collect me and my family. The property was very clean and beautifully decorated. My family had a lovely stay for 8 nights. We were expected house keeping every 2 day. But cleaner came everyday and did amazing job. The location was excellent. Bolhao market is just 2 minutes alongside with all the good restaurant such as Conga. We also booked some tours during our stay. The apartment is only 10 minites walk to all the meeting points.

This is such a perfect location. You are in the city center. Everything is walkable. Staff was kind, respectful, and helpful, especially Emily! They offered luggage storage and we were able to explore the city while waiting for check in. I would stay here again.

9.8/10 Exceptional! (46 reviews)
The suite we booked did not disappoint. Spotlessly clean and well equipped, overlooking the Douro river from our private balcony. Being a relatively new hotel there were a couple of minor snagging problems but nothing to detract from our stay. A special mention should go to the Guest Relations team, all of whom were extremely helpful and professional. We will definitely come back.
