10/10 Exceptional! (115 reviews)

We had an incredible stay at Hotel das Virtues! This was our first time in Porto and I would absolutely stay here again whenever we come back. The staff was incredible, I've never experienced such great service. They were hands on from the moment we walked in. They were even able to make us reservations for a local winery tour that was initially sold out! Not to mention the room itself was outstanding. Beautiful, comfortable and even included a sweet welcome gift. The attention to detail was unmatched. Thank you for an incredible stay!
