Cenica Porto Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was in a good location, the breakfast was varied and good, the staff was excellent. I had an issue with allergies and the staff quickly provided support and changed our room to one with a wood floor and hypoallergenic bedding. They then checked on me to be sure the remedy was successful. It was very much appreciated and beyond what I expected."

The Rebello Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at The Rebello was exceptional from beginning to end. From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us with such genuine warmth that we immediately felt at home. One of the team members took the time to show us around, point out the best places to enjoy the river views, and make sure we had everything we needed. That personal touch, along with everyone’s attentiveness throughout our stay, made the experience feel effortless and truly special. The hotel itself is beautiful, with a refined design, immaculate spaces, and thoughtful details throughout the property. Our room was especially memorable, with its elegant décor, comfortable bed, and large windows overlooking Porto and the Douro River. We never tired of watching the city change with the light, from the soft glow of morning to the sparkling reflections across the water in the evening. Breakfast was another highlight. The food was excellent, and enjoying a leisurely breakfast while taking in the beautiful surroundings was the perfect way to begin each morning. Everything felt fresh, carefully prepared, and thoughtfully presented. It’s difficult to think of anything we would change about our stay. The Rebello exceeded our expectations in every way, but it was the incredible staff and their exceptional level of service that truly set it apart. We would absolutely stay here again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone visiting Porto."

Hotel Moon & Sun Porto

8/10 Good

"Spotless hotel in a great location. Staff was kind and helpful but sometimes overwhelmed when there was only one person working. The room itself was very nice just a few amenities that didn’t really make sense. The tv enclosed in glass is not necessary and the bathroom mirror is basically not usable if you are actually trying to see something such as putting on make up or grooming. Overall a great stay just a few picky things on my end."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Gulpilhares?

The best time to visit Gulpilhares is typically during the shoulder seasons of spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are smaller.

During these months, you'll find comfortable temperatures, ideal for enjoying the local beaches and outdoor activities without the intense heat or larger crowds of summer. This allows for a more relaxed experience, whether you're exploring the coastline or taking day trips into Porto.

For those primarily looking for beach holidays and sea swimming, the summer months of July and August offer the warmest weather and sea temperatures. However, this is also peak tourist season, so you can expect more people and higher prices for accommodation and flights.

If you're keen on surfing, the waves are generally more consistent and larger during the autumn and winter months, though the water will be cooler.

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy.
