Otherworldly historic charm with impeccable, welcoming service from the owners.
Pros:

It is in an ideal location. Close to many unique things to tour such as the Lello Library, several ancient buildings and about a 30 minute walk to the river boat tours. The non-assuming more understated outside appearance keeps a secret gem of Porto’s history with its winding wood staircase, murals from the 1890’s and elegant suites with architectural wood carved insets in the ceilings and old world charm. Its pictures online aren’t as captivating as being there! I was proud to have gifted my in-laws this experience! It was a cherished stay for me as well.

Cons:

Nothing to report.

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!
