Exceptional

Liked: The hotel was beautiful and the staff was exceptional! It was hard for taxis to get to but worth it for the view and location.

An exceptionally welcoming hotel

Liked: As other reviewers have said, this is a lovely hotel, full of history and character with delightful staff. For 500 years the home of an aristocrat. then a canning factory and, more recently, a gym. It then fell into disrepair. Virtudes opened two years ago, and the renovations have retained its distinctiveness. We enjoyed an excellent meal in the restaurant, Traves, as well as drinks and snacks on the rooftop which has views over the river. It is a short walk into the centre of the town and the river. Beware though, the hotel is down an exceptionally old and narrow road (how on earth did they manage all the renovations with such difficult access?) and our taxi from the station couldn’t find it! Not an easy road to trundle suitcases along. Our room was comfortable and clean and had an excellent shower. A very welcoming hotel.
Disliked: Our only negative was the room (on the 2nd floor). It was rather small and dark as it looked out directly onto a wall at the back of the hotel. In the end, this didn’t matter too much to us as we spent our four days walking around Porto and Vila Novo da Gaia and exploring the Douro Valley.

Wonderful Stay

Liked: A wonderful stay from the moment we arrived until we left. The staff were friendly and incredibly helpful. The room was lovely, plenty of amenities. Breakfast was great, and dinner at the restaurant was exceptional. An amazing stay, would highly recommend!
