卡雷加爾公寓

Beaucoup de charme pour cet établissement, une ancienne maison de maître rénovée récemment, plutôt bien placé à proximité du centre historique de Porto. En été, le jardin et la piscine sont très appréciables. Le studio loué était spacieux et bien équipé. La literie est très confortable. L’équipe est très sympathique et aux petits soins. Petit défaut de ses qualités, le parquet ancien peut être un peu bruyant quand on se déplace la nuit…

Fantastic accommodation in a beautiful historic house that was once a school. Smooth arrival and so helpful staff from day one. We had three wonderful nights here. The location and property is a peaceful spot to retreat after experiencing the sights of Porto. Our apartment was on top floor and very spacious. Kitchen equipped with most things needed. Single beds quite comfy and extra fold down couch in lounge if needed. Laundry available and plenty of outdoor space in shade or sun . The grounds are really beautiful and pool although cold was a great retreat to freshen up. Supermarket close and a must is the RUA bar. Fantastic service, food and music. Highly recommend a visit here. Not far to walk to all must sees in Porto.

The hotel is away from the road in its own grounds with places to sit, and even has a communal kitchen, laundry and gym. It's a really tranquil retreat. There are also self-catering facilities in the room, and it looked like a good selection of pots, pans, etc - although we didn’t use this as it’s a short walk from some great bars and restaurants.

My friend booked these apartments not realising they were a 1 star. Her face when we told her was total shock, she had read the good reviews. She had no need to be worried, these apartments were great! They have a small kitchen next to a gym and a nice private garden area with a small pool. Take coffee and tea! There is a coffee machine, but you only get one pod each, and that’s Marrakesh Tea! Air conditioner too! There is a washer should you be staying a while. Conveniently placed and walking distance to everything. There is a small Spa supermarket 3 minutes away. We had 2 rooms, for 5, on the first floor. More than adequate, comfy bed and the shower was excellent. The small number of staff work very hard. It’s hard to find anyone when you need them, so do your homework. It used to be a 17th century palace. We would definitely revisit if we went back to Porto. There is an old chapel opposite, which we assumed must have belonged to this building. It looks unloved and unused, but it opens up on a night to a lively little restaurant. The food was great too. You have to book early as everywhere gets booked up. Tourism definitely keeps Porto alive. There are homeless a poor people everywhere, very sad. There are some talented buskers around for you to listen to, which was lovely. One or two not so good, but you’ve got to love a tryer! We went on the river cruise down the Douro, which we all loved. We hired a TUK TUK, an got a lovely young man called Gizmo. He was great fun and took us to lovely places, we would never have found them without him. He even played our music an made it a bit of a party night. Everywhere is within walking distance. There are walking tours available but, we didn’t need that as we have a ‘Natalie’, our very own Gloria Hunniford! 🥰 Visit the beautiful Porto Sao Bento Station an see the famous blue tiles throughout, you will be in the city centre. We didn’t go on the cable car but did walk the bridge from the Ribeira. There is a funicular, if the climb is too high. There was a long queue but that soon went down. My friends recommended the wine tasting, whilst I took a walk in the old town. 1 in 5 buildings are derelict, sad but very interesting at the same time. If you are fit, walk! There are roadworks everywhere and you’ll get to your destination much quicker. We went to see the ‘most beautiful book shop in the world’, it really is lovely, BUT, they cram so many people in at a time it’s just madness. Book it, it’s €8 each. We saw another book shop, which was also stunning, that one was free. We went to see the Bolsa Palace, we booked the day before but still had to wait in the queue when we arrived. There were 2 ladies serving, who were very slow. By the time we got to the front we were told we had missed our slot! We tagged along with an English speaking guide, as we had a plane to catch. It is lovely, but there isn’t that much to see other than the building, it is stripped of the conte

Lovely spacious apartment on ground floor. All plates cups, cutlery, pots, glasses, wine glasses, corkscrew provided. Plenty of cupboard space. Dishwasher microwave sink. Coffee pod machine. No coffee pods milk or sugar but supermarket close by. Very comfortable king bed. Shower super hot and plenty of pressure. A short walk up the hill is a plaza with shops and restaurants and many more restaurants in the surrounding streets. A lovely church just another street away. Wine bar right next to gated entrance. We used Bolt (like Uber) to get around if going further afar as we are in our 60's with athritis, but would be quicker to walk to nearby attractions/metro etc if you are a bit fitter than us as there are a lot of one way streets which makes driving longer. Communal laundry on site with 2 washing machines and one dryer. The dryer takes a long time to dry if fully loaded...was still quite wet after an hour. Much quicker though when lightly loaded. They do supply clothes racks which we used to finish drying clothes in room while we were out. There is an iron and ironing board also. Heater worked well...it was a bit chilly outside around 12 degrees max during the day Loved our stay here no complaints.

Wonderfully clean, modern and quiet apartment hidden away in central Porto. The staff were extremely accommodating, friendly and helpful. It was such a bonus to have the beautiful gardens and pool. I spent a lot of time on the sun loungers by the pool when not off sightseeing. The bed and pillows were also extremely comfortable.
