What is the history of the property?
We are located in the heart of the historic part of Porto, UNESCO Worldwide Heritage. Our premises date to 1542, as documented in the book Rua das Flores no século XVI, being Rua das Flores, Flowers Street, the first street built in Porto by the king D. Manoel to connect the Douro river to the Cathedral and Bishop's residence and still considered today as the best architectural example of this period of time.
All the monuments and places of interest are at 5/10 minutes walking distance.
Public car parking equally and a valet parking available on previous request and booking.
During the 5 large years of reconstruction we focus in preserving the maximum of the original and historical structure, namely the XVIth. century granite walls, tiles from the XVII and XVIII, stuccoes from the XIX, parts of the original floor and staircase and in adding the best materials and techniques to achieve the maximum level of comfort, both on thermic and acoustic.
Each of the 10 suites is differently decorated, all with the same attention to detail, quality, comfort and intimacy.
Details, in general, make the difference in Maison Particuliere.
Not only in the layout and size of the rooms, dressing, showers and WC, but also in many other details such as paintings, original gravures and lithos, exquisite pieces of furniture from all over the world, top quality textiles, fabrics and chinaware, just to mention a few.

Historic HotelSummary of reviews related to the 'Historic' categoryIf you are looking for a unique and historical experience during your stay in Porto, look no further than Pestana Palácio do Freixo. This stunning hotel is housed in an old palace that has been beautifully preserved, making guests feel like they have stepped back in time. The architecture and design are breathtaking and the building itself is a national monument. Despite its historical significance, the hotel also offers modern amenities and excellent service from the friendly staff. The location is convenient and easy to find, yet still feels peaceful and secluded, situated right on the Duoro River. Relax and take it all in while enjoying a generous breakfast spread. This hotel truly offers a journey back in time and a memorable experience.
