Spacious room. Complimentary tea, coffee and bottled water. Excellent breakfast, with plenty of variety. The 3rd floor Cuzco bar serves great food and has impressive views of the Douro and the Ponte Luís. A stones throw from the riverside and in the heart of the port wine district.

Beautiful room and property. We were in last unit closest to trains so it was noisy when windows opened but we got used to it. Great location. Housekeeping was wonderful when we had requests. The breakfast was great, loved the cooked to order choices. Had a great dinner at the restaurant directly ...
