Nice rest after the Camino

Charming place-former estate from 1887. Gorgeous tile work, formal gardens and even a chapel on site. Quiet, gated & attentive to all requests. Good home base to explore Porto. Evening “ladies” were out on a late return to hotel but fairly quiet during the day.

Raise the Drawbridge

This delightful and individual property was even better this time as we stayed in the 360 degree view Grande Suite (though do note is does have 84 steps but well worth it for the view!). We never saw the cat this time but loved our breakfasts and the general atmosphere. We…

We will be staying in Portugal for over two weeks so I am thinking about renting a car at the airport prior to our stay if the parking is free or we may choose to take public transportation from the airport if there is a charge for the parking. Is the parking free, and what is the best means of public transportation from the airport to Castelo de Santa Catarina and back to the airport after our stay?

The parking at the hotel is free and the drive is not difficult.

hello I am reading about a new part of the hotel and the old one castle what are the preferences ??in both options I need wc and shower in the room

All rooms are en suite. We were in the new part, as the old was still being renovated. We liked the fact that there were few stairs and a nice garden view.

What is the closest metro stop to the hotel? How far is it to walk from the metro to the hotel?

Marques is right. Get a multi-trip ticket and enjoy the whole system. Taxis are fine if you need one, but the transit system is excellent.

I am wondering if you can advise us as to the best way to travel to Lisbon after our stay in Porto? Is it necessary to book transportation in advance? Thank you!

We had a car and drove. It allowed us to stop along the way to see things especially the library at the University of Coimbra. It has been called the most beautiful college library in the world. Certainly worth the stop.
