Pestana Vintage Porto Hotel & World Heritage Site
Overall Great room and super location. I did not feel though that it was worth what I paid for. Over $800 a night was excessive for the room. Had to request replenish of amenities more than once including just basic toilet paper.

Porto River
Beautiful. Right in the middle of the action. A little loud on the street below. But expected for being where it is. Not an issue. We loved this property. Highly recommend.
