Throw in its free walking tours, homemade dinners on request, port wine tastings, concerts, and you'll see why it's booked up so often – reserve ahead.

"So much more than just a bed for the night, Gallery Hostel, with its rooms named after local architects, writers and artists, gives you a real flavour of Porto."

"One of the country’s newest pousadas is an 87-room gem improbably created from a magnificent 1742 baroque palace...and an adjoining eighteenth-century brick flour mill. ... The new best bet in Porto."

"Set on the banks of the Douro, on the east side of the Arrabida Bridge, a short five-minute taxi ride to the old city, and looking out across the river toward Vila Novia."

"Unlikely pairing of an 18th-century palace and neighbouring flour mill creates one of Porto’s most luxurious accommodation options, and offers quiet reprieve for guests seeking comfort and relaxation."
