A little piece of Hawaiʻi, all the way to Porto 🌺

Our guest left us the sweetest surprise: Hawaiian treats, mango chocolate, macadamia chocolate and little treasures from Maui.

Such a thoughtful gesture and one we’ll remember fondly. Thank you for sharing a little piece of home with us.

Mahalo!

A taste of Brera, in Porto.

Inspired by Milan’s artistic Brera district, this small gelateria brings together Italian gelato artigianale and a distinctly Portuguese sense of place.

Made in-house with carefully selected, natural and seasonal ingredients, the flavours move between tradition and creativity — from Sicilian pistachio and Piedmont hazelnut to unexpected Portuguese references.

The kind of place we love discovering in Porto: thoughtful, authentic and quietly distinctive.

No music. Just Porto. The soft rustle of trees, the call of peacocks, the sound of fountains flowing through the gardens of Palácio de Cristal, a place that has inspired peace and beauty since 1865. Originally an iron-and-glass masterpiece inspired by London’s Crystal Palace, it once showcased innovation and international flair.

Today, the gardens remain one of the most enchanting places in Porto. Home to peacocks wandering among fountains, art galleries filled with creativity, a historic library and the Rosa Mota Pavilion, where concerts, exhibitions and conferences bring the city together.

From romantic sunsets over the Douro River to peaceful walks under the magnolias, it’s a place where Porto breathes culture, nature and community.

And soon… will be welcoming guests to a new stay right beside Palácio de Cristal, where you can wake up surrounded by history, art and green beauty. Perfect for travellers seeking authentic experiences and those attending conferences and events next to it.

When in Porto, there’s one dish you must try: Francesinha. A hearty sandwich layered with meats, melted cheese and a rich spicy sauce. For our vegetarian and vegan guests, don’t worry! Many restaurants now offer delicious plant-based versions of this classic dish, so everyone can enjoy a taste of Porto.

It’s comfort food at its best. Staying with us means you’ll be right in the heart of Porto, with the best Francesinha spots just around the corner like this one from

Codfish (bacalhau) is king at the table. At , you can enjoy the Portuguese classics like Bacalhau à Brás, Bacalhau com Natas and many others.

If you’re staying at our accommodations in Porto, we highly recommend this spot for a true taste of Portugal. Because traveling is also about tasting.
