Luxury hotel away from the crowds in Porto
Pros:

We stayed here for a couple of nights after a trip to Porto and the Douro Valley; it was very easy to get to the airport for our early flight. Absolutely beautiful hotel. The rooms and bathrooms were spotless with super comfortable beds. Wonderful spa, I was very impressed by the massage I booked. Excellent breakfast. All the staff were very attentive and friendly. Highlight was tasting some of the signature cocktails … probably the best we’ve had! Can’t wait to stay here again.

Cons:

Some of the cushions on the loungers by the pool needed upgrading/cleaning.

My absolute favorite hotel on the Portuguese Camino.
Pros:

EVERYTHING. Price to quality ratio was exceptional. Well staffed, clean and well run. Spa was impressive as was the outdoor pool. Room was gorgeous.

Cons:

Did not eat at the restaurant for dinner as it was too fancy (personal preference as it did look beautiful).

Estada extraordinária
Pros:

Tudo estava excelente! O edifício é lindo bem como o local em que está enquadrado. Recuperação de um espaço com um bom gosto e conforto extraordinários, em que o antigo e o contemporâneo se misturam numa simbiose perfeita. Funcionários simpáticos e cuidadosos.
