Douro Story

You’re just across the bridge from everything you’ll want to see. The apartments are tastefully decorated, and from the window on the Douro River's South bank you get THE most beautiful view of Historic Port. Consider staying here on your trip to Port.

I felt so comfortable travelling thanks to my host, Elizabeth, who was incredibly kind. The accommodation made me very happy during my time in Porto, with cleanliness and location both just right. It was perfect in every way.

We spent five wonderful days here and would come back if we return to Porto. The place felt brand new, looked exactly like the photos, and was equipped with cleaning supplies, an iron, kitchen utensils, a hairdryer and more. They cleaned the room and changed the towels every other day. It was well worth the price, and my partner and I recommend it 100%. Elizabeth greeted us when we arrived and was so kind and welcoming. She gave us a map of Porto and ideas for things to do. Thanks again, Elizabeth, for making us feel at home. :) Miranda and simo One night we ate at the apartment owner's restaurant, Taberniha do Manel. Dinner was really good, with a lovely river view. Parking was easy too: there’s a lot a two-minute walk from the hotel where you can leave the car for 24 hours for 17 euros. I’d give this apartment a 10, and I can’t find anything to fault.

I had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the river view. All the cooking utensils were provided. There isn’t an entrance onto the main road along the river, so you get there by taking the stairs on either side of the building or walking uphill around the back. The slope isn’t too steep, so it’s easy enough.
