We absolutely loved this place. Beautiful design and everything done with care and love. The bed was super comfortable and the breakfast was the best we had in Portugal and we stayed in a lot of places. I would come back and stay here in a heartbeat.

The hotel was absolutely wonderful—clean, comfortable, and perfectly located. The host was amazing, incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout the stay. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great experience!

A special place

A very special place, beautifully designed, every detail considered. Home made cakes in the morning, Peaceful and close enough to the town centre by taxi.
Robert, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

An adorable small hotel in Gaia. Very stylish and beautiful and a calm refuge from the bustle of the tourist areas. It’s a longish walk or a fairly reasonable Uber ride to the waterfront and tourist centers.

10/10 would recommend! Gorgeous views with even better hospitality.

A great place to enjoy yourself! It’s a quiet place where you feel away from the rest of the world. However, it’s only a ~30 min walk to center city Porto. I highly recommend staying here.

10/10 Exceptional

Definitely recommend this place for a quaint stay in the city. It does really feel very removed and that you are part of nature. Lovely hospitality and very attentive staff!
Shreya, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Was really a fine enough place but not as advertised as a resort. Not relaxing. Aromas made breathing hard, not on river. Pool too small to swim. NO services nearby, internet awful!

Amazing gem - a joyful and unique retreat

We absolutely loved the Lost Garden! This special place was created with intention and offers truly beautiful food, linen, garden, swimming pool, drinks, soaps, and people! The colors and calming decor combined with aromatherapy and a stunning view really created an invitation to breathe. The staff took great care to pay attention to every single detail and helped with anything we asked. Upon arrival we were offered a fantastic welcome drink and cookies while our bags were whisked to our room. The linens, bed, and pillows made for a great night sleep. The breakfast spread and surroundings looked like they were right out of a magazine. We will definitely be back if we are ever in Porto!

not a good location for the dom luis bridge and the river. Neither refrigerator nor supplemental water bottles. The supermarkets in porto are closed on subday afternoon, I asked water bottles and was told to buy it at the hotel.
CHANG HYONG, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The boutique hotel is new ands all the amenities are new too. Both Marta and Sonia and the chef provided service with great smile. Breakfast was excellent and plenty. Beautiful view of the Douro river and the city. Accessible by Uber and taxi. Marta and Sonia are passionate about their property and have their heart and soul into the decor. It felt like home away from home. The garden and the tree above the pool was an eye candy specially with the blue light at night. Old not enjoy the pool due to rain. Renu and Mahendra.

Et fantastisk og charmerende lille hotel i skønne omgivelser. Ejerne er så søde og imødekommende. Værelset var utrolig fint. Dejlig morgenmad. Kan klart anbefales.

Vi är så glada för att vi hittade denna ljuvliga pärla i Gaia.Allt var toppen,rekommenderar till alla som vill bo med utsikt över Dourofloden.Ligger i ett lugnt och trivsamt område.Vi tog tåget till Gaia och promenerade till boendet,tog runt 30 minuter.Bra om man tycker om att gå.Vi gick ner på strandpromenaden och hamnade sedan på Caixa ou Gaia. Personalen på hotellet var mycket tillmötesgående och hjälpsamma.Hela konceptet är genomtänkt med gästen i fokus.Många små detaljer som ger upplevelsen det lilla extra.

Unik hotell opplevelse

Fantastisk plass og kjempehyggelig vertskap. Alle som jobbet der ville det beste for oss. Nydelig frokost med lokale varer og ofte hjemmebakte kaker (takk Claudia). Beliggenhet utenfor sentrum i stille omgivelser og privat boligområde, men fin gangavstand langs Douro elva (15-20min.) til Ribeira. Vi var der i 14dager og har ønske om å komme tilbake neste år. Anbefales på det sterkeste!

Hemelse getaway aan de rand van Porto

Heel fijne ervaring! Mooi klein hotel, heel smaakvol ingericht, mooie kamers, verfijnd ontbijt, supervriendelijk personeel, relaxte sfeer, relax zwembad met mooi zicht over de Douro. De twee zussen, die het hotel runnen, hebben echt overal aan gedacht om je verblijf zo aangenaam mogelijk te maken. Echte aanrader!

Perfeito para uma escapadinha a dois. Fomos recebidos com um welcome drink e brindados com uma vista deslumbrante sobre o Douro, num ambiente de calma e serenidade. A decoração é de muito bom gosto, com destaque para os detalhes de marcas portuguesas. Relaxar à beira da piscina infinita com um bom livro foi um dos pontos altos. O pequeno-almoço é igualmente excelente. Todo o staff foi incrivelmente atencioso e simpático, a Marta e Sónia são ótimas. O hotel está impecavelmente limpo. Adorámos a experiência!
