In Porto, I found a stylish little hotel called 1872 River House, located right in front of the Douro River. This historical building contains eight comfortable and elegantly-appointed rooms, perfect for a short stay in the city.
Huge windows lining the room offer a great view of the river, and let in plenty of natural light during the day. As the hotel is slightly removed from the Praça da Ribeira, the rooms are quiet even with the windows wide open.
The room has a retractable TV, wifi, coffee machine, and all the basics one would need for a comfortable stay.
Breakfast is served in the elegantly-appointed living room from 8am to whenever. Fresh fruits, pastries, yogurt, plus eggs and bacon made to order – very lovely.
Do note that there is no fixed reception at 1872 River House, but its staff members are reachable via phone as needed. All in all, a charming place to stay fora short trip to Porto.
