Top São Nicolau Hotel Reviews

Oca Ribeira do Porto AT

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, spacious apartment, super comfortable, and surprisingly very quiet. The apartment was much bigger and nicer than we expected. Even though we were in the a bustling area, close to tons of shops, restaurants, and the charming riverfront, the apartment was totally quiet. The breakfast is decent - we only signed up for one morning and then made use of our kitchen the next two mornings. We loved our stay here and would book again. "

1872 River House by Olivia

10/10 Excellent

"A hidden gem on the Douro River. The staff were welcoming, kind and attentive. Thank you Maria for your incredible hospitality. The hotel is quaint and beautifully appointed and the breakfast was wonderful. We would love to return to this very special place and of course we highly recommend it to travellers who are looming for something special. "

Porto River

10/10 Excellent

"We loved everything about our stay. The location is unbeatable, and the entire property is spotless. Our one-bedroom suite was huge, immaculate, and filled with natural light — plus it was incredibly quiet, which made it easy to relax. The bed was very comfortable, and we slept so well. Most importantly, the hotel staff couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful — they really went above and beyond to make our visit smooth and enjoyable. The breakfast buffet was another bonus. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat!"
