1872 River House

This small boutique hotel in Porto truly lives up to its name: located in an old townhouse directly on the riverbank, this small romantic hotel with its eight rooms offers picturesque views of the Douro River and the other riverside promenade. Guests staying at the "River House" are less than 100 meters from the historic old town.

Not only is the location and view exceptional, but the interior design and service of the charming b&b are also highly praised. The rooms are all tastefully and modernly furnished while still maintaining their original charm. Two rooms have a view of the city, and the others have a view of the river. Each room has an en-suite bathroom, and visitors have access to free Wi-Fi. The rooms are also cleaned daily and have air conditioning and a flat-screen TV. Breakfast is included in the price and can be delivered to the room for an additional fee, making it a perfect option for late-risers.

After a good breakfast, guests can explore the city's numerous alleys, restaurants, and port wineries, or rent bicycles for a ride along the promenade. This romantic hotel offers the option to hire babysitters and book personal city tours as guests of the "River House." The hotel staff is also available to help guests book river cruises, hiking trips through the stunning Duoro Valley landscape, and relaxing massages. And, with staff fluent in five languages, communication is never a problem.
