A lovely stay in the Royal Suite of a real castle/villa!
There was some construction going on to maintain and upgrade the property, which didn't impact on our staymuch.

We had a wonderful experience and appreciated the owner showing us the beautiful sanctuary. We will recommend your place to anyone coming to Porto. At checkin, it would have helped to know the Bistro existed. You may also consider safety strips on the bottom of the bathtubs. Overall, our experience was tremendous.

The staff are wonderful! The property is beautiful. Our room was average-3 star hotel room. The bed was awful. The shower was great. Minimal room for toiletries. It did have a fridge and a safe. AC worked well. We did not get a room with all the ornate furniture.
I guess that’s up to availability when you get there.
The area is far from city center if you want to walk. It’s a good 35-40 minute walk. There is a metro station 5 minutes away walking.Overall good stay but due to the distance and the bed we would not come back.

Although this property was a 25 mins walk from the main attractions, it was easy to park here which was one of the reasons why we chose it. We were in a more modern room that was not located in the main castle and the room was quite spacious and clean. The big negative about this property for me though was how uncomfortable the bed was and this was the reason for my 6/10 rating. It felt like there was no padding between me and the springs in the mattress. I have never slept on such a terrible mattress in my life. The only reason I was able to tolerate staying here for the 2nd night was that I found a thick blanket in the closet which I folded and placed between the mattress and the bed sheet. Honestly, I was surprised that such a nice hotel had not invested in better mattresses. They should at least add a memory foam mattress topper. I would not stay in this hotel again unless I knew they had fixed the mattress issue.
