We loved Rui’s loft! The space was minimal, but thoughtfully decorated with interesting art. The three French windows opened overlooking the river for beautiful views morning and night. The little balcony table is the perfect place for a cup of coffee in the morning while the Douro River comes to life with the day’s activity. The location was perfect with easy walking access to the riverfront, Dom Luis bridge to Gaia and a quick walk up the hill to an endless selection of restaurants. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to friends.
