Origine Porto Gaia, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Upon check-in, I was greeted not with the usual offer of water—but with a glass of wine. A delightful surprise that set the tone for my stay. Nuno gave me a warm tour and helped me settle into my room, where a treasure chest of pastries awaited me—yes, including the famous pastel de natas. As an art lover, I was thrilled to find a striking painting welcoming me, and pleasantly surprised to see a book about Afro-Brazilians—a thoughtful touch that reflected both culture and connection. Each morning began beautifully—with breakfast, mimosas, and the joy of sampling local fare. The experience was a perfect blend of warmth, culture, and indulgence. ⸻

The hotel was new, clean and staff was very friendly. The view was spectacular. Enjoyed the location was within walking distance of restaurants and shops.
