Sao Joao Baptista da Foz do Douro Castle had an important defensive role during its time. Now a historic attraction, you can only imagine some of the spectacles its mighty walls have witnessed.

This history-filled fortress is often on the itineraries of travelers to Porto. But Sao Joao Baptista da Foz do Douro Castle isn't the area's only drawcard. Sandeman Cellars, Porto Cathedral, and Casa da Musica are some other recommended attractions close by.

10/10 Exceptional! (12 reviews)

The location of this property was perfect for us - walking distance to everything we wanted to visit, close to many good restaurants and cafés, parking available at the near by mall … And all this, on a relatively quiet street, no noise bothered us at all … The property is spacious, modern and clean. We really enjoyed our stay Paulo was amazing checking us in and providing a great overview of the attractions and Luz helped us promptly with the check out. Highly recommended!

Perfect for our stay in Porto. Walking distance to tourist sites but in a quieter area. The accommodations, amenities and service at the hotel were 5 star quality. This would be my go-to if I returned to Porto.
