Klein, fein und mit traumhafter Aussicht
Wir haben kürzlich in diesem neu eröffneten Boutique-Hotel übernachtet und waren rundum begeistert. Das Hotel ist klein, aber sehr stilvoll eingerichtet – mit viel Liebe zum Detail und in einem gepflegten, modernen Ambiente. Alles war absolut sauber und gut in Schuss.
Besonders hervorzuheben ist die hervorragende Lage auf der Gaia-Seite des Flusses – direkt neben der berühmten Luis-I-Brücke. Von hier aus hat man einen atemberaubenden Blick über den Douro auf die Altstadt von Porto.
Der Poolbereich ist schön gestaltet, allerdings gibt es nur wenige Liegen – das sollte man wissen, wenn man viel Zeit dort verbringen möchte.
Insgesamt aber ein echter Geheimtipp für alle, die ein charmantes, ruhiges Hotel mit Top-Lage und tollem Ausblick suchen!
