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.

Bien situé et propre. Peu de vaisselle, pas de table de salon, certaines dalles du plancher sont décoller. Les gens travaillant à l'hébergement font l'impossible pour vous aider.

The location overlooking the river was amazing. The bed & couch were comfortable. The stair access was a bit tight & steep if you have a large suitcase. Also recommend you place a trash bin in the kitchen living room area. Overall was a great place to stay, we really enjoyed it.
