10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
The location was excellent. There were multiple restaurants within minutes. The area was active but at night it was quiet. Fernando also served as an excellent guide to the Douro Valley
6 / 10Average·Aug 2024
Good location. Great view. Old building that needs a little interior updating and repair. Missunderstanding with manager regarding day of arrival and we had to pay for an additional night in order to check in early. Expensive for a trip, but central location. Manager was friendly and arrived exactly at checkout to see us out.
