Beautiful converted Palace on the banks of the Douro river. Convenient shuttle bus into Porto town centre twice a day. Very pleasant staff, ample parking. The hotel itself is a little bit of a maze. Breakfast was very tasty. If and when we return to Porto, I would be happy to book this hotel again.
