Treat yourself to a palace stay!!

Wow!!! This old Palace turned hotel is amazing!!! The service was above first class in all areas. Property was lovely. Breakfast was huge and delicious. We did order a late afternoon meal at the bar area because the restaurant didn’t open til 7:30. we ordered hamburger with fries but it came with chips and we ordered the salad with out chicken. They sent to chicken which was very dry. Loved to walk along the water. We took a 1/2 day private tour of Porto highlights which was excellent
View from the water.
The rooms are actually in the old factory brick building to the right.
Outdoor sitting area by the river
Be sure to wander around at night.

The property grounds are gorgeous and the included breakfast feels extravagant. Outside the property, there doesn't seem to be much close by but an easy 2 mile walk along the river or quick Uber ridehas you in Porto proper.

Our stay at Pestana Palacio do Freixo

Our stay at this beautiful and historic hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. We were delighted to receive a complimentary room upgrade, which made our experience even more special. The room itself was elegant, comfortable, and filled with thoughtful touches that showcased both charm and modern comfort. The food was outstanding—each meal felt carefully prepared and full of flavor, making dining here a true highlight. The amenities throughout the hotel were equally impressive, striking a perfect balance between history and luxury. Every detail, from the décor to the overall atmosphere, added to the sense of staying somewhere truly unique. We left feeling relaxed, cared for, and already planning a return. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable and luxurious experience in a historic setting.
