Hotel has gates that open by the code, convenient,safe and walkable everywhere .
Loved the garden and patio chairs everywhere .Hotel was combo of modern and unique old style
Breakfast was lovely and had fancy area where buffet style was served .Breakfast host was lovely and kind to explain about traditional desserts they had on menu . He event went extra mile to save me one of traditional desserts on my day 2 . I thought breakfast area felt like I went for high tea every day , absolutely amazing
Although this property was a 25 mins walk from the main attractions, it was easy to park here which was one of the reasons why we chose it. We were in a more modern room that was not located in the main castle and the room was quite spacious and clean. The big negative about this property for me though was how uncomfortable the bed was and this was the reason for my 6/10 rating. It felt like there was no padding between me and the springs in the mattress. I have never slept on such a terrible mattress in my life. The only reason I was able to tolerate staying here for the 2nd night was that I found a thick blanket in the closet which I folded and placed between the mattress and the bed sheet. Honestly, I was surprised that such a nice hotel had not invested in better mattresses. They should at least add a memory foam mattress topper. I would not stay in this hotel again unless I knew they had fixed the mattress issue.
Inside the confines of the beautiful hotel vacility and grounds it was wonderful. Everything was secure the staff was great. The breakfast (included) was excellent. We loved everything about the hotel and grounds. The only thing negative would be the distance to the historical area (2km) and the area around the hotel was a little sketchy. All said… it was a wonderful stay.
It is a unique accommodation. It looks like a castle and has wonderful outside areas to lounge in. The update has been done very tastefully and the rooms are well appointed. The breakfast was outstanding. This was a wonderful find!
From the friendly reception to the beautiful gardens and opulent breakfast, our stay was beyond what we expected. The property is special, and we enjoyed ourselves immensely.
A lovely 18th century hotel set in lovely grounds. The old and the new blended exceptionally well. Attention to detail was second to none. The staff were friendly, helpful and provided useful information on where and what to visit. Short walk from a metro station. A definite place to stay in Porto, just so charming.
An amazing stay. Very convenient location near the metro and secure parking is on offer at a small price. A beautiful breakfast every day. The only small detail was that the toilet stopped flushing the last night we were there but will have been fixed for the next guests no doubt.
The hotel was amazing and beautiful. And cannot say more about the staff so helpful and friendly. So recommend your stay here we will be coming back on our next trip to Porto.
It was beautiful quiet place near the center. 15min walk to busy center but happy to be back at beautiful quiet castle. The garden was lovely and breakfast was delicious. Truly enjoyed our stay at this place.
Accommodation itself was lovely but the hotel is a little way from the main shopping / restaurant / attractions but that’s reflected in the price I guess.
If you want to live in atmosphere of late 19th century chose the castle tower. They have suots on the low level, but they are ordinary. Service and front desk is wonderful. The breakfast is average and almost the same every day with limited veriety, not exiting but ok. Parkin is $12 a day.
