WHY WE LIKE THIS HOTEL

Pestana Palácio do Freixo – Pousada & National Monument is a unique concept that incorporates two historic buildings – an 18th-century baroque style palace and a 19th-century factory. Totally restored and refurbished, it combines the essence of history and tradition with 21st-century flair and sensibilities. Set on the outskirts of Porto, it is surrounded by Versailles-style gardens, with terraces offering splendid views of the Douro River. The extensive lobby and lounge areas are luxurious in design and appointed with marble and stone flooring, period furniture and antiques. Spacious guest accommodations, some overlooking the river, offer contemporary elegance, comfort and technology, while respecting the heritage of the original structures. The history and elegance of this hotel makes it one of our favourite hotels in Portugal,

This is just one of the hotels that we recommend in this area. If your favourite is not featured just let your consultant know – we will be happy to book it for you!
