Norte Adventure Holidays

The hotel is very nice and one that I would easily recommend. The drawbacks are the property's isolation and limited dining options, although I would definitely recommend the hotel's restaurant.

Booked 2 nights following another wonderful Viking trip ( on the Douro River ). Had done lots of research as we wanted to be in the Ribeira section on the river. Location was PERFECT! could walk to dozens of cafes/ restaurants/ wine bars etc and enjoy outdoors on perfect weather. Upon arrival a bit turned off by exterior which was in need of some cleaning up/weeding and, alas, next to a McDonald's ( in a lovely old building but surrounded by trash we had to pass each time we went in and out.. ugh). Staff small and va/ried levels of genuine hospitality...our room was wonderful with windows on the river. After a bit of juggling we're able to keep that room for both nights vs move ( our fault, 2 separate booking for 1 nite each but they were able to rearrange- appreciated!) Did included breakfast one morning..lovely, very generous spread of typical European fare with coffee & expresso machine availabilie early. Only 8 rooms, small but cozy breakfast room also facing river with seating for maybe 8 people.Porto is a very fun/ safe feeling place with plenty to do...plan at least 2 nights!

Fabulous location and hotel - definitely recommend.

We loved this apart hotel! It was very clean and well maintained. The layout of the studio was very efficient, and the staff was very friendly. The location was great to walk down to the river and surrounded by many restaurants. We could walk everywhere we wanted to see. Just be aware that there is no elevator in the building!

Everything was perfect

Nice room, good breakfast, friendly and helpful staff.

Fabulous location and hotel - definitely recommend.

The Hotel Solverde is the best hotel with the best staff. What more can I say. Alan Blyth
