Northern Portugal Condos | Places to Stay in Northern Portugal
Brimming with both history and natural wonder, Northern Portugal is home to Porto, the city that gave the country its name, as well as the important ancient town of Braga. Also here is Peneda-Gerês, Portugal’s only national park, a gorgeous wilderness area of mountains, gorges, water features and wildlife. Many picturesque villages and manor houses dot the countryside. Two areas are UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Alto Douro Wine Region, and the Paleolithic rock art in the Côa Valley.

1. Condes de Azevedo Palace
Overall Ratings
5 based on 72 reviews
Located in a privileged area of Oporto, and dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries, the Condes de Azevedo Palace offers an elegant and classic oasis, with all the necessary commodities of the 21st-century traveler. Initially built as the home for the "Condes de Azevedo", the Palace owned by Viscount Francisco Lopes de Azevedo Velho da Fonseca de Barbosa Pinheiro Pereira e Sá served various purposes throughout its time. Probably its most iconic role, was when a typography was set up, essential for the "First Portuguese Grammar" in 1536, having translated other essential works of Cervantes and Virgílio. Newly converted to the Condes de Azevedo Palace, it offers 19 5-star apartments spread out through three floors, a common garden patio, private parking, and a very comfortable breakfast lounge to start your day in the best way possible.
Great apartment hotel in a perfect area of town
Reviewed By KK0118The Palace is perfectly situated to all of the tourist attractions. The staff was very friendly and always willing to help. I stayed in a 2 bedroom 3 bathroom unit. It also had a kitchen and living room on the 1st floor. On the 2nd floor, there was another sitting room in front of the other bedroom. On hotels.com, the bedrooms were listed as having queen beds, but each bedroom had a king bed. Continental breakfast was brought to the room every morning at your time of choosing. It's really a full breakfast. I ended up putting alot of it in the fridge and would snack off of it throughout the day. I highly recommend this place!

Fantastic Location
Reviewed By pomWalesOur trip to Porto had been 3 years in the making, thanks to Covid. We have had to reschedule 4 times and last week we eventually made it! On arrival, the reception was unoccupied, but we were attended to straight away buy someone from the adjoining restaurant. (I believe they are under the same ownership.) We stayed in room 27 which was situated in the front of the propert, overlooking the river. Fantastic view! The apartment is beautifully furnished and has a small kitchen area which would be adequate for making breakfast or a snack. It is well equipped with crockery , glassware and kitchen utensils. The bathroom has a bath and shower. Every area is immaculately clean. Location is amazing. The port houses are on your doorstep. We did the tour at Sandemans which is literally a few doors away. It's a 5 minute walk to cross the river via the footbridge. Last but not least is the fabulous Fatima! The receptionist who has gone out of her way to keep rearranging our break. What a lovely lady! She has plenty of knowledge of the local area which she will share with you. Fatima is such a happy person and will make you feel very welcome and special. Thank you Fatima!! We hope to come back one day x

Good place to stay
Reviewed By J7959CNchrisMy wife and I stayed in Apartment Cedofeita on the second floor. This accommodation was included as part of a 7 day bike tour we were taking with Sportours in Porto. We stayed here for the length of the tour. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We were able to keep our bikes on site so it was very convenient. It is centrally located to the train/metro stations we needed to access for our tour and nicely located to quickly get to key locations within Porto by foot or bicycle. We took advantage of the very close by Lavandaria Marlinwash to do laundry. Clean and accessible. There are a variety of grocery options within a couple of blocks and a variety of restaurants and other shops. Very clean, very friendly, very helpful, nicely located. We enjoyed our stay.

7. Oca Vitoria Village
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 460 reviews
Big studio suite
Reviewed By SilverLWe stayed 4 nights at the Oca Vitoria in Porto. If you are booking, the Oca Vitoria and the Oca Flores are two sides of the same hotel complex with the check in desk on the Flores side. If you get dropped off at the Vitoria entrance you will encounter a large mostly empty room. There is a phone with no instructions that will help you contact the front desk. The room we were assigned was well equipped and very spacious with a full kitchen. We thought it was worth the premium price we paid. We had only two issues, it was advertised as a studio with a view of the cathedral but there was no view, and the beds were very hard. We booked the breakfast buffet which involved seating in a beautiful high-ceilinged room. The breakfast had variety but no changes day to day. The food in the covered 'heated' containers was cold on 2 of 3 days. Great coffee and fresh fruit. Desk staff were helpful, friendly, and fluent in English. This is a lovely property in a great location and could be a 5 with some attention to detail and better beds.
8. Reis De Gaia

Discover 170m of the Douro waterfront, the atmosphere of the historic area of Vila Nova de Gaia and typical narrow streets, Port wine cellars, bars and restaurants .... After renovating an old fabric shop, Conceicao and Claude will welcome you with pleasure in a more family friendly atmosphere. Renovated apartments, equipped and decorated with care.
A Great Experience
Reviewed By LilithSarafyanFirst of all I want to mention Sandra from the staff/reception for her exceptional assistance and professional/friendly approach. The hotel is located 5 min (walk) far from the river Douro in the old city centre which is very quite and nice. The aparthotel inside is again very quiet, the rooms are very well isolated. One can feel the privacy in full. The rooms are very big (I also had a chance to stay at the Family room which was even bigger), well equipped with everything you will need to feel home, minimalistic design, clean and with beautiful views from both sides of the building. The beds were also very comfortable. I stayed there for 5 nights in total and I will highly recommend this property for single, couple and family travellers. Thank you to Sandra and the owner of the hotel. I will choose this place again if I decide to visit Porto/Vila Nova de Gaia again.
9. Porto de Rio

A pleasant stay
Reviewed By leeoliverIt’s hard to rate and give only a 3 as the room itself is very pleasant. The price and location are really good to! However…….check in is literally at 3pm as there is no one there to greet you. Secondly the rooms aren’t sound proof so I woke each and every night to the sound of people walking around in the other rooms, several times!! Lastly a point on location! If you intend to spend lots of time along the river or even across the river then this is 5/5. If you wish to roam the streets of the city then be mindful that the hills are like mountains to climb! On a couple of occasions we ordered an Uber for a couple of euros and then walked back, that’d be my top tip! Oh, almost forgot! There is a tram that literally runs past the front door so make sure you look left and right when exiting the building!

Great guesthouse in good location if it hadn’t been for the elephant in the room above
Reviewed By colibri-on-tourThe guesthouse is in a good location in a nice and safe neighbourhood, a little out of the city centre. Very close to the Metro station Marques, I got there from the airport conveniently and it’s just a short ride into the city centre and the old town. I’ve also walked a few times downtown and back and it’s an enjoyable, safe walk. The room was lovely and superbly clean with nice, modern decor. I enjoyed the little balcony with the view of the church next door. The staff were super friendly and despite the member of staff I spoke with did speak almost no English, everything went super smooth with no problems at all. I’d definitely recommend. I might have just gotten unlucky with someone staying in the room above who’s heavier built or walks in a rather stomping manner and this might not be to do with the room/property. However, the noise from someone walking upstairs was so loud, it was impossible to sleep in late (even with earplugs) as it was so bad, the room would even shake. There’s definitely no footfall sound insulation but the noise (and shaking) was so extreme that I really wonder whether it might have just been unlucky with the person in the room upstairs. Might also not be a problem in other rooms of the guest house but in the room I occupied (room Rose) it’s a real issue if you want a lie-in on your holiday.
