Catarina was a fantastic, friendly host and was so helpful in making us feel welcome and at ease straight away. It was great to get some tips on things to do/ see in Porto and we made sure we did everything she recommended! The refuge itself is exactly that, a refuge from the city...peaceful, quiet, incredibly cosy and such a brilliant place to stay with the centre only a short metro ride away. It was the perfect place for us to stay and enjoy Porto and we'll definitely be back :)
