Predicados do Douro Palace — Hotel in Porto

Stayed in this charming guesthouse , named so not because it is a palace but because it is across from Crystal Palace Gardens .

This place is absolutely lovely and very well located, just 15 minutes walk (or a slow walk of 20 mins) from the most central places. ||Opposite the premises is a beautiful park (Jardins do Palácio de Cristal) with peacocks and stunning views over Porto.

Yes you can hear other people walking up the stairs occasionally, yes the street rooms can be noisy if your windows are open but you are gone all day and with the AC at night it was not a bother. It is all part of the experience of staying in a small place. The guests were a mix of all countries. It was fabulous! Loved the people, the food and the culture of...
