The Rabelo boat is a tradition in Portugal. Native from the Douro region, it does not exist in any other place of the world. Its history is linked to the production and trade of port wine.

The amazing city of Porto, also known as Oporto in English, is located along the Douro river estuary in the North of Portugal and is the second-largest city of the country. Declared as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996, planning a visit to the historic center of Oporto is the best way to know its origins.

"Excellent experience!!!"

Smartr Porto Gaia & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This is the second time I have stayed in this property, the first time was back in June with my kids, and this time was November with my boyfriend. It was an excellent day both times. The owner of the property recognize me and she was so kind and treated us so good. The location is convenient, it’s close to the river where all the restaurants and music is happening. Everything is within walking distance. "

10/10 Excellent

"1. Perfect location; 2. Very clean and modern place; 3. Breakfast is always a great bonus👍 4. Excellent communication (quick responses); 5. Very high quality and comfortable mattresses (important after long walks). 6. The funicular to get to the main bridge is a leisurely 10-minute walk away. If (or when) I return to Porto, I will definitely consider this place. Traveled with my family (adults and children). One thing: if you are driving, keep in mind that the nearest parking lots only accept cash. "

Caléway Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We were in Lisbon on our honeymoon and decided to do a day trip to Porto for a wine tour and booked a room here last minute. The place is stunning! Parking was a bit away and required quite the workout to haul our bags down the cobblestone roads but we loved it. From the outside you can barely tell a hotel is there and when you enter it’s spacious and bright and we had a beautiful view of Porto from our room. The staff was also very nice!"
