Every single night we sat out on the main deck looking out at the city. The location is fantastic. Check-in is quick and everything you need is there. Consider this place like a loft apartment - it's not very big however, it's incredible use of the space. In the day all the shutters and windows open up to the world outside, letting in the air, and the sites and sounds of the people around you. At night you can close it all up and it becomes this incredibly cozy space. We lit it up with candles and felt like we were worlds away from anything. We loved it. You're on a main street which means simply walking down the hill - straight to the Douro River and all the attractions that come with that. We walked everywhere and there no shortage or markets, stores, etc. for anything you might need. A great little spot.
