This is a very comfortable stylish and well equipped apartment right on the doorstep of the great Port houses, and very close to the cathedral and most of what Porto has to offer. Extremely helpful host Elisabeth met us and guided us to our allocated parking spot which is only 100 yards or so away along the Douro riverfront, with its restaurants and port experiences. If you'd rather eat in, the kitchen area is spacious and you can cook with ease, with THAT view on your right shoulder. Very special! ##### Steven Stayed 1 night in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anthony Stephen Oct 18, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The location is fantastic. My wife and I enjoyed all aspects of our 6 day stay at the Douro Story. We were very impressed with everything! Elizabeth was an excellent host. Restaurants and winery’s are a minute away. ##### Anthony Stephen Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrei Oct 4, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Great location The location is absolutely great, super close to the lovely restaurants in the area. The place is well equipped as far as I could tell but we didn't use the kitchen. There's a bit of noise at night due to the same reason but all in all a great place to stay. The view at night is simply breathtaking. Just make sure you close the blinds or there's a street light just outside the window that'll simply blind you if you'll pardon the pun. Having access to off street parking also really sold the place! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1565BFFFA5321483A0492FB3EE02A38238F55ECB1633382806970.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Andrei Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jacob Oct 4, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Great Stay at Duoro Story!

From the first communication with Elizabeth everything was a breeze. We communicated easily on whatsapp. The home is absolutely beautiful with gorgeous balcony views of the river and the bridge. She provided us with a delicious fruit platter and sent us tips on what to do and restaurants to go to. We also received complementary drinks on arrival at their restaurant where we were able to drink our drinks along the river. We had the best time in Porto! Thank you so so much Elizabeth! Highly highly recommend this place! ![Balcony views. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E0FF1428583BA5048DA2969EB11C3D8A7F8BD37B1622540988842.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2F8D5E34093A85E7F8E4F34BDD1F97730027EEE51622541023764.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jennifer Stayed 2 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Almeta Aug 25, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Beautiful location, awesome rental, the greeting was great, got keys they explain a bit about the appartement, just perfect No complains on my end ##### Almeta Stayed 1 night in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pedro, Founex Jul 25, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities La vue est magnifique.

Nuestro apartamento contaba con unas vistas espectaculares al río. El apartamento está perfectamente equipado, productos de limpieza, plancha de ropa, utensilios para la cocina, secador de pelo...etc Realizan una limpieza de la habitación y cambio de toallas un día si y otro no. Además está todo nuevo, exactamente igual que en las fotos. Darle las gracias a Elizabeth por su hospitalidad y trato, ha sido muy muy amable con nosotros, nos recibió a la hora que llegamos y fue muy cercana con nosotros, además nos ofreció un mapa de oporto y nos dijo las cosas que podíamos hacer. De verdad merece muchísimo la pena lo que se paga, mi pareja y yo hemos pasado 5 días estupendos en este apartamento y repetiremos seguro si volvemos a Oporto, y 100% lo recomendaremos. Una de las noches cenamos en el restaurante del propietario del apartamento , en la taberniha do manel, cena perfecta y muy buena con vistas al rio. Hay un parking a dos minutos andando del hotel y por 17 euros puedes dejar el coche 24 horas, así que por parking no hay problema. Le doy un 10 a este apartamento y por que no le puedo dar más, no le puedo poner ninguna pega. De nuevo muchas gracias por todo Elizabeth, nos has echo sentir como en casa. :) Miranda y Simo. ##### MOHAMED Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lumarie Nov 25, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Lumarie Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Virtudes City Lofts](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Virtudes-City-Lofts.h22488399.Hotel-Information) > > [Torel 1884 Suites & Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Torel-1884-Suites-Apartments.h31734275.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Porto Centro Santa Catarina](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Mercure-Porto-Centro-Santa-Catarina.h20407.Hotel-Information) > > [YOTEL Porto](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-YOTEL-Porto.h44294342.Hotel-Information) > > [One Shot Aliados Goldsmith ](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-One-Shot-Aliados-Goldsmith-12.h30212034.Hotel-Information) > > [Torel Avantgarde](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Torel-AvantGarde.h19121961.Hotel-Information) > > [Torel Palace Porto](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Torel-Palace-Porto.h36844696.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Moon & Sun Porto](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Hotel-Moon-Sun-Porto.h31705361.Hotel-Information) > > [Hospes Infante Sagres Porto](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Hotel-Infante-Sagres.h176941.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Porto City Center by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Porto-City-Center.h33146121.Hotel-Information) > > [Eurostars Porto Douro](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Eurostars-Porto-Douro.h15051013.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Porto Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Sheraton-Porto-Hotel-Spa.h980783.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Porto - Palacio das Cardosas by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-InterContinental-Porto-Palacio-Das-Cardosas.h4272605.Hotel-Information) > > [Catalonia Porto](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Catalonia-Porto.h37347188.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Porto Centro Mercado Bolhao](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Ibis-Porto-Centro-Mercado-Bolhao.h46182974.Hotel-Information) > > [PortoBay Teatro](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-PortoBay-Hotel-Teatro.h3437750.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloom House by Sweet Porto](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Bloom-House-By-Sweet-Porto.h33345778.Hotel-Information) > > [HF Tuela Porto](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-HF-Tuela-Porto.h900089.Hotel-Information) > > [PortoBay Flores](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-PortoBay-Flores.h36260275.Hotel-Information) > > [HF Fénix Porto](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-HF-Fenix-Porto.h900087.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Collection Porto Batalha](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-NH-Collection-Porto-Batalha.h9688666.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Cristal Porto](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Hotel-Cristal-Porto.h15483322.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Porto Centro Aliados](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Mercure-Porto-Centro-Aliados.h56524398.Hotel-Information) > > [Oca Ribeira do Porto AT](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Oca-Ribeira-Do-Porto.h91170789.Hotel-Information) > > [Renaissance Porto Lapa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Renaissance-Porto-Lapa-Hotel.h91416842.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Spot Family Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Hotel-Spot-Family-Suites.h17355733.Hotel-Information) > > [Condes de Azevedo Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Condes-De-Azevedo-Palace.h24707301.Hotel-Information) > > [Neya Porto Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Neya-Porto-Hotel.h47076995.Hotel-Information) > > [Santa Catarina FLH Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Porto-Hotels-Santa-Catarina-FLH-Suites.h24035627.Hotel-Information)
