Staying at this stunning palace was a treat for our family of five adult children! We loved lounging by the riverside pool and reminiscing about family parties in the beautiful hall of Mirrors. The breakfast selection was impressive too.

In my wife’s opinion, the breakfast service could be improved significantly.

We had an amazing time on our friends' trip! The hotel had a stunning view of the river and a fantastic outdoor pool. We visited the beautiful hall of Mirrors and enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. The breakfast had plenty of choices, and the staff was incredibly helpful. Definitely consider asking for a double room in advance.

my stay at the hotel was truly exceptional. the spacious superior twin room exceeded my previous expectations in porto, with stunning views of the douro river. the breakfast was a delightful spread of fresh pastries, cheeses, and local delicacies.

It was just a fine choice for a couple of nights in Porto with high value for money. The breakfast was fantastic, with a great variety of fresh dishes to start the day right. Make a reservation for dinner to enjoy the dining experience.

an unforgettable stay with charming staff and breathtaking river views overlooking the douro!

Charming and attentive staff made our stay unforgettable.

my stay at pestana was fantastic! the hotel felt grand and luxurious, just my style. the spa was incredible, especially since it was just my fiancé and me. we enjoyed sipping lovely prosecco in the morning, and the pool with a view of the river was simply breathtaking. close to the historical quarters, our experience was enhanced by the relaxing atmosphere.

strongly recommend

This hotel suits me perfectly, providing a fantastic outdoor swimming pool, friendly staff, and excellent dining options. I remember my first stay when the staff kindly assisted me with late check-in. Highly recommend visiting the spa!

Beautiful property with stunning historical architecture. The views of the Douro River from my room were a real treat. The infinity pool had an amazing spot right by the river, perfect for relaxing. Staff members were super friendly, always ready to help. Breakfast was a highlight with plenty of options. The spa was tranquil. I enjoyed a quiet session there. However, the check-in process took longer than expected, which was a bit frustrating. The room design felt somewhat dark, lacking a cheerful vibe. During my stay, the air conditioning didn't seem to keep the room cool enough at night. Overall, a lovely stay with a few hiccups that could improve the experience.

Stunning views, a gorgeous infinity pool, a lovely spa, and the beautiful gardens made our stay lovely. The guided tour of the hotel was really helpful in navigating the exquisite architecture.

We snagged some epic local eats at nearby Volta Douro – those hot dogs hit the spot! Breakfast was delightful, packed with fresh pastries and local delicacies. The staff made our dining experience unforgettable.

Though we were initially let down with no bell boy and a missed birthday setup, the overall vibes at the hotel still shined bright. Just don't rely too much on guest relations for the nitty-gritty details!

Glorious architecture and history

The staff was accommodating and friendly, yet

the check-in process felt a bit chaotic.

The lavish decor of the public areas exudes charm and elegance, making it a delightful experience for seniors like me. I particularly enjoyed the serene gardens and the beautiful infinity pool overlooking the Douro River.

Room decor could be brighter and more inviting.

An absolutely stunning hotel with a breathtaking view of the Douro River, and the restaurant food was superb! We found the pool area to be incredibly relaxing—definitely would return!
