This was a really nice experience! Very nice rooms, with all comfort we need after a long flight. Well located, walking distance to city cemtre, friendly staff, safe, absolutely quiet and beautiful. No restaurant on site (good breakfast though), but near by. Stayed there two times. It's definitely our choice there! And the price is absolutely reasonable!

This hotel was perfect for my first touch with Portugal. So much is written on the interior, beautifull garden but I just want to add that it feels almost magical when you come after ll day walking and exploring Porto and find yourself between these old castle walls and its knocking charm.

This is such a unique find and a castle in the city centre. The rooms have so much character including the reading rooms, dining rooms. It is worth paying that extra to stay in the Royal Suites as they are hugh! My friend stayed in the Grand Suite on the very top floor (the only room on the floor) but... More

We loved it, once we found it! Didn't have satnav so left car at bottom of hill and walked up. Not a problem after a long drive. The owner was so welcoming and got his son to drive me back to fetch the car. The room was in the tower with views, best to get one facing West towards the... More

we stayed two nights ay Castelo de Santa Catarina, it was an amazing experience. You don't expect to see that much culture and history in a hotel.Breakfast room, garden and other common use areas are full of woodcarving, tiles with pictures and obecjts that have been used many years ago. In the room ew had a closet and a bed... More

This hotel is incredible! It has a whole antique look and decor. You can really stay in an old 'castle' tower for the night with old furniture and feel! Don't pass out on a ride up to the last floor and peek through the small window like an arrow-slit from the middle ages! It was perfectly clean despite the old... More

Don't make the mistake of staying in Garden Room 105 in chilly weather. The hotel is charming in many ways, and no doubt lovely in warm sunny weather, but we booked on-line and should have not chosen a garden room. On arrival we asked to change but were told the hotel was full and we couldn't. The air conditioning is... More

We stayed at the top suite in the tower. It was so amazing! Great views, traditional feel and just definitely worth staying. I would never stay anywhere else. The grounds are also beautiful with a small chapel built within. It's a bit like like museum that reflect typical Portuguese living. It's very quiet inside, tucked away from the street. It's... More

Easy to find with satnav, but a bit of a walk down into town. An architectural oddity, and old fashioned furnishings/decor. We stayed in a tower room....great view, not for those who don't like heights or cannot do steep stairs (no lift). Probably not great for children unless using one of the outside chalet rooms. Clean, a Victorian era bathroom... More
