We absolutely loved staying here. Great location, easily walkable to other parts of the city that we wanted to see. Space is clean and exactly as pictured. It’s a private villa, but part of a boutique hotel, which was perfect because we were able to check our bags before check-in to the room and then go exploring. Daily breakfast was amazing. Everyone who worked there was fantastic! Highly recommend!!

Fantastic! We're delighted you loved your stay so much. So glad the location made it easy to explore on foot, and that everything was spotless and just as pictured. Villa Almada's setup - a private villa within our boutique hotel - is designed for exactly that flexibility, letting guests drop bags before check-in and head straight out. Wonderful to hear breakfast was a highlight and that the whole team made your stay a fantastic one! Come back soon here at Canto De Luz in Porto, or perhaps come adventuring with me at another of my lovely places - they are all listed here on my profile. Susan x

We had a lovely relaxing time at Villa Almada. Our separate accommodation to the main boutique hotel was comfortable, clean, quiet and peaceful. The pool and outside area was just gorgeous! The kitchen /lounge/dining area had everything you could possibly need, and breakfast always offered variety and was really tasty!The staff at Villa Almada were kind and very helpful, always offering advice and guidance when we needed it. I would definitely come back again and would thoroughly recommend staying here. We love Porto!

Ideal place to explore Porto

This is a beautiful property. Two couples stayed in the villa. Unfortunately the rain was incessant so we were not able to use the outdoor patio and pool. But it was an ideal base to explore Porto, the staff was superb, and the breakfast set us up for the day.

Absolutely incredible - A diamond in the center of Porto

Incredible Villa, five star cleaning and warm welcome. From the first day, the care of all the staff was wonderful. Thais and Eliane are incredible professionals, always ready to help and take care of us. I definitely never want to stay anywhere else when I go to Porto - left a taste of wanting more!

Outstanding!

We had the best experience at this Villa in Porto. The property is amazing and the staff is beyond fantastic! We would definitely stay here again if in Porto in the future. The complimentary breakfast was delicious every morning with fresh fruit, cheese, ham, yogurt, pastry, breads, eggs and whatever type of drink you wanted. The staff was always available to help with directions, places to eat and tour suggestions. We loved it!!! Thank you!!

Amazing customer service and beautiful property! Will definitely be coming back!

Everything - this place was perfect. The staff were extremely accommodating I was overwhelmed at their great customer service. I asked for some recommendations on where to get some pre flight covid tests, and they booked it all up for us. I did the same for some dinner recommendations, and they also booked up the loveliest place for us. I never asked for it, they offered all of this themselves which I appreciated so much. On one of the days we had to leave early (before breakfast) for a tour we had booked and they prepared us some sandwiches and cakes to take with us, also without us having to ask anything. Finally, we forgot something behind after we had left and they went out of their way to ship it to us back in the UK. They went above and beyond to make us feel very welcome and on top of that the villa is beautiful. It was very high tech and had great facilities and any time I needed something I found it in the villa. There was nothing we needed which we couldn't get. I will definitely be coming back, and also trying some of their other properties they have in other locations. We stayed in a few places in Portugal as we travelled around and this was definitely our favourite.
