Comfortable, elegant, welcoming and stylish - a unique and memorable experience!
Pros:

The breakfast was beautifully presented, very varied and multiple dishes. Excellent!
The host, Maria was very kind, welcoming and helpful. Her house was elegant, historic and peaceful, with very comfortable large beds and beautiful antique decor. It was an unusual place to stay and therefore a real experience!

Pros:

Maria nos recebeu com muito carinho! O hotel é, na verdade, um palacete antigo que pertenceu à sua familia. Maria foi muito atenciosa e carinhosa conosco desde o check in, até o momento final, quando inclusive nos ofereceu uma carona à estação de trem. Voltaremos!

Ein Aufenthalt mit besonders Charme in einer spannenden Umgebung.
Pros:

Ein besonderer Ort mit Charme und Historie und einer charmanten Gastgeberin. Man füllt sich wie in einem alten Palast. Und wir wurden herzlich begrüßt.

Cons:

Dass die Räume im Winter doch sehr kalt und feucht sind. Glücklicherweise haben wir, nachdem wir das angemerkt haben einen Radiator bekommen. Sonst wäre es zu kalt gewesen.
Kein Fahrstuhl vorhanden, was uns jetzt nicht gestört hat, aber wer nicht gut zu Fuß ist....

Un magnifique hôtel particulier mais pas de petit déjeuner
Pros:

Très bel établissement. Un magnifique hôtel particulier vous accueille au cœur de Porto.
Chambre spacieuse et confortable. Maria la propriétaire fera tout ce qu’elle peut pour un accueil au petits soins. Une belle adresse que nous ne pouvons que recommander.

Cons:

Ce n’est pas vraiment un hôtel. Pas de petit déjeuner sur place, quel dommage de ne pas pouvoir prendre le petit déjeuner dans un si bel endroit… Notre chambre donnait sur la rue. Ça n’était pas trop bruyant cependant.

Most wonderful stay
Pros:

We had an amazing weekend stay at Palacete Museu (Espaço Palmeiras) in Porto. The room was beautiful and very comfortable, the setting absolutely stunning, and the warm welcome made us feel right at home. The location is perfect — close to everything yet peaceful and full of charm. Maria and Júlia were incredibly kind and attentive, making our stay truly memorable. We loved every moment and would definitely come back!

非常值得推薦的珍貴優雅飯店
Pros:

房東瑪麗亞非常熱忱友善，員工茱莉亞小姐英文很好！房間非常讓人驚喜的美麗優雅，整理的非常用心！飯店的地點距離景點餐廳都不遠，步行即可～夜晚我從鐵橋搭uber返回飯店只要5-6歐元

Cons:

大門非常低調，最好提前和房東聯繫確認時間！房子超過2百年，雖然有裝木窗門，夜晚窗外有車經過時會有一點聲音

Pros:

The room is very beautiful and the location is great, but the best bit was how hospitable Maria and Julia were to us. You can tell how much they care about this place and it is so nice to be a part of it they made us feel so welcome and we genuinely felt part of their family. We will definitely return. All our love, Sam and Joanna x
