A wonderful week at this new hotel on the Gaia side overlooking Porto. Very close to the lower level of Luis I bridge so easy to walk into Porto. The views were breathtaking, one you would never be bored looking at. The pool area is relaxing but as you should expect, gets busy and had to wait for sun loungers, however, there are seats too. Breakfast was always fresh and plentiful, a nice way to start the day. Porto is a great place to stay for excursions further afield (we did Braga and Guimarรฃes) but locally the wine cellars a must especially three ports and chocolate (Calem.) We also enjoyed the cathedral, boat trip and tower. Food is Porto is varied and delicious, something for everyone.

Klein, fein und mit traumhafter Aussicht Wir haben kรผrzlich in diesem neu erรถffneten Boutique-Hotel รผbernachtet und waren rundum begeistert. Das Hotel ist klein, aber sehr stilvoll eingerichtet โ€“ mit viel Liebe zum Detail und in einem gepflegten, modernen Ambiente. Alles war absolut sauber und gut in Schuss. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die hervorragende Lage auf der Gaia-Seite des Flusses โ€“ direkt neben der berรผhmten Luis-I-Brรผcke. Von hier aus hat man einen atemberaubenden Blick รผber den Douro auf die Altstadt von Porto. Der Poolbereich ist schรถn gestaltet, allerdings gibt es nur wenige Liegen โ€“ das sollte man wissen, wenn man viel Zeit dort verbringen mรถchte. Insgesamt aber ein echter Geheimtipp fรผr alle, die ein charmantes, ruhiges Hotel mit Top-Lage und tollem Ausblick suchen!
