I’m a bit of a fussy traveler and this place was amazing! loved the location, we stayed in the white room, slightly bigger I’m assuming, it was great with an amazing view of the river and nightlife. What really set this place apart was the absolutely amazing breakfast that’s included, always a perfect way to start the day!

Bruno was very helpful! He arranged for a shuttle to pick us up at the Douro Marina, and he also made reservations for us at your restaurant, Casario. (Bruno was very quick to respond to any communications with us.) The Casario restaurant was absolutely amazing! Very good! Would definitely recommend! And the next morning, Bruno was there to serve us a most wonderful complimentary breakfast! I just wish we had decided to stay a few more days in Porto. We had a wonderful, but too brief, visit there! I will definitely recommend the Gran Cruz House to friends who plan to visit Porto!
