    Description

    Built in the mid 19th century, the Pestana Palacio do Freixo  is one of the most remarkable examples of Portuguese Baroque architecture. The facade of this Pestana Palacio do Freixo was declared a National Monument in 1910. Its interior has been beautifully restored, maintaining many original features of the Palace including frescos on the ceilings of some of the public rooms. It also has a chapel.

      Nous avons séjourné à la Pousada de Porto en avril 2014. Nous sommes très satisfaits de cet hôtel luxueux aux splendides parties communes . La réception nous a offert dès l'arrivée un verre de porto et par la suite, le personnel s'est toujours montré attentif et prévenant. Notre chambre avait vue sur le Douro. Le restaurant est également remarquable. On y trouve même du pain sans gluten La navette vous conduit en ville en 10 minutes et permet de se libérer des soucis de parking. Bref, un excellent rapport qualité prix. Encore un petit effort pour parler français et tout sera parfait !

      We stayed in March at the Pousada de Freixo after looking at the web site. The Freixo met all our expectations and some. The staff was extremely helpful and made us feel like we were at home. Though a bit out of town, it was still convenient and the views and ambiance well worth it. We will stay again upon our return to Porto.

      The location and activities at the pousada and in Porto were perfect. We had a wonderful time bringing the in the New Year with your wonderful arrangements and fabulous dinner that last all evening. This memory will live in our hearts for a long time to come. Porto was easy to explore with suggestions from our hosts. Thank you so much. Scarlett Rehrig USA
