This small boutique hotel has rooms right on the Douro River. The view was amazing! Located in the historic old town, it was convenient to walk everywhere. The room and bathroom were large and roomy, and the bed and linens were comfortable. Breakfast included was very good, with many fresh fruits, breads, and eggs to order.

This location is wonderful and the staff was excellent. The property is so small that it lacks some amenities but it’s a trade off to the location and the special feel of the hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Wonderful view from our riverside room with a very comfortable bed. The staff were efficient and obliging, with a freshly prepared breakfast provided each day. Easy walking distance up into the city, and close to the bridge to cross to the other bank of the river. There were two minor negative points. It wasn't easy to use the key to leave the property, plus it seems over the top - why not have a button next to the door? And directions to reach the property could be simplified - our taxi driver from the airport had no idea where the place was. All we needed was to be told in advance was to be dropped at the taxi rank outside McDonalds, simple as that.
