A beautiful hotel
This is a beautiful hotel, with charming, attentive staff. The room ( river facing with balcony)was very clean, extremely comfortable beds with a turn down service in the evening. The bathroom was large, great shower and Jo Malone toiletries.
Service in the restaurant for breakfast and dinner was excellent, every time.
It's about a 40 minute walk into Porto which is pleasant on a sunny day and mainly flat. The hotel provides a free taxi boat service to Porto which is a lovely way to travel into town.
The Spa is very nice and although a little expensive ,the treatments were given by very experienced therapists and were worth the cost.
My only small criticism is the Europop style music broadcast in the afternoons through the evening to the outside pool /sitting area. We found it a little loud and irritating especially as nobody was sitting outside. We preferred the quiet and natural sound of the birds and river. ,
