It is a beautiful old mansion carefully converted to a guest house, with a large peaceful rear garden of mature orange trees. Perfect for breakfast in the sunshine. The breakfast was lovingly prepared fruits, meats cheeses, yoghurts, pastries, coffee etc. The rooms had high ceilings, chandeliers, old wood panels and antique fittings creating a feeling of grandeur. Large windows opened to the garden, and were triple glazed so nights were silent. It's 15 minutes walk to the bustle of town, and just across the road to the serene Crystal Palace gardens, with great views over the river. The staff were cheerful and very helpful, offered airport pickup and stored our bags for the last day (and when we left, ran after us down the street with forgotten sunglasses!) We loved it here and hope it is available for out next trip to Porto.
