Casa dos Lóios by Shiadu

This fascinating 16th-century building used to be home to a renowned Portuguese family and has now become a hotel filled with character for visitors of the city. In its name ‘Casa’ means ‘house’, and this has been reflected in its room decor, as well as in the public areas. A sense of home will be present throughout your stay and is one you won’t want to let go of.

Waking up in your Deluxe Double Room in Porto’s historic centre each morning will feel like a dream you haven’t yet awoken from. Enjoy the sound of the bustling streets from outside your window, of people rushing to work, people socialising over breakfast in quaint cafes while you snuggle up in your warm bed. However, when you smell the waft of the freshly cooked delicacies, you’ll soon be jumping out of bed and heading downstairs to see what’s on offer.

Fill your boots with the energy you’ll need for the day that lies ahead: discovering sights, immersing yourself in the culture and learning about the history! Being famous for its production of Port wine, make sure to experience a taste of Porto. Matured in the cellars that line the banks of the Douro River, you won’t taste Port like this from anywhere else. As well as this, you can experience the tasty Portuguese culinary scene in the many restaurants available.

Alternatively, if you’d prefer a day filled with relaxation and tranquillity, the hotel has a serene terrace, perfect for those who like to take time to watch the world go by. You can admire the beautiful scenery while reading a book that intrigues you from the hotel’s library! A babysitting service is also on hand for those who can’t have a bit of ‘me’ time quite so easily.
