Everything about this hotel is amazing. From the minute you enter the gates and meet the owner you can just tell what an amazing experience awaits you. He has put so much of his heart and soul into this small hotel and his love for his surroundings is very plain to see. Norberto showed us around and explained all the areas of the hotel and how everything worked. There is an amazing outdoor space complete with swimming pool which sadly we were unable to use due to the time of year. Our room was just perfect with a lot of style but not over fussy. The bed was big and sooo comfortable and the bed linens were of a very high quality. It was also lovely to have really big luxurious bath sheets. The bathroom itself was a really good size and the shower was powerful with no long wait for hot water. There was a proper hairdryer in the bathroom which was useful. Breakfast is served to you ( not a buffet) and it was beautifully presented and the waitress was quiet and discreet but always on hand and she knew just when to be there and when not. Breakfast was egg, bacon and sausage (the eggs were from the hens next door), followed by soft cheese and home made jams, fresh fruit, yoghurt, bread, toast and croissant with fresh orange juice and coffee or tea ( refills available). Norberto gave us suggestions for our evening meal and we took his advice and went to an amazing little restaurant called Taberna do Chefe only a few minutes drive away or maybe a 10-15 minute walk. . We had booked the hotel as we were going to a concert at the Multiusos Complex in Gondomar which was only a ten minute walk away. The hotel is an oasis of peace and quiet and a beautiful place to unwind. It is only a 10-15 minute drive from Porto so an ideal place to stay to explore the busy city and return to to just relax at the end of the day. We will certainly be back - hopefully when we can make use of the pool!

There was nothing not to like other than the fact that we were only there for one night and it was too cold to use the swimming pool!!
