An adorable small hotel in Gaia. Very stylish and beautiful and a calm refuge from the bustle of the tourist areas. It’s a longish walk or a fairly reasonable Uber ride to the waterfront and tourist centers.

A great place to enjoy yourself! It’s a quiet place where you feel away from the rest of the world. However, it’s only a ~30 min walk to center city Porto. I highly recommend staying here.

Amazing gem - a joyful and unique retreat

We absolutely loved the Lost Garden! This special place was created with intention and offers truly beautiful food, linen, garden, swimming pool, drinks, soaps, and people! The colors and calming decor combined with aromatherapy and a stunning view really created an invitation to breathe. The staff took great care to pay attention to every single detail and helped with anything we asked. Upon arrival we were offered a fantastic welcome drink and cookies while our bags were whisked to our room. The linens, bed, and pillows made for a great night sleep. The breakfast spread and surroundings looked like they were right out of a magazine. We will definitely be back if we are ever in Porto!

The boutique hotel is new ands all the amenities are new too. Both Marta and Sonia and the chef provided service with great smile. Breakfast was excellent and plenty. Beautiful view of the Douro river and the city. Accessible by Uber and taxi. Marta and Sonia are passionate about their property and have their heart and soul into the decor. It felt like home away from home. The garden and the tree above the pool was an eye candy specially with the blue light at night. Old not enjoy the pool due to rain. Renu and Mahendra.
