Maria and Ricardo were very gracious and helpful hosts. Staying at the Palace Museum was a fantastic and fun experience - beautiful building and superb location. Had some of our best nights sleep in Portugal at the Palace Museum. Would love to return some day!

Beautiful old house that has been meticulously preserved. The location is ideal for exploring the city. Maria, the owner, and Vlada, the manager, are super helpful and friendly. Maria's breakfasts feature an exceptional array of food. We loved this place and hope to return!

Keith United States of America

The hotel and rooms are the most beautiful I've ever experienced. A very nice part of the stay is breakfast where you share a table with other guests in a very intimate setting and the coffee is the great. The owner Maria and her assistant Vlada were so kind and helpful it truly made our experience there exceptional. It is the best place to stay in Porto

Mario United States of America

It allowed us to live in the house of wealthy 1800's Portuguese family with modern comfort. It felt what staying at a museum feels like.

Botella United States of America

Very interesting old house and well positioned to explore Porto. Close to restaurants and a short walk into the old town. Very clean and quiet. Ricardo and Maria were excellent hosts and couldn’t be more helpful. Breakfast was amazing.
