Vila Catarina Luxury Apartments

Honestly, a stellar place to stay in Porto. The friendliest of staff. Lovely pool area and rooms. Great communication at all times. Minor Area for improvement - include essentials in the kitchen for cooking with such as salt and pepper.

I never write reviews, but this is a special place. Ideal for long/er stays and fellow digital nomads. Very close to the city center and all, yet like a little world apart. Recommend booking an apartment with view to the garden. I've been positively surprised by the facilities: - internet connection top - laundry and drier room (free) - very well equipped gym - hot sauna and steam room - beautiful pool - afternoon snacks Also: They took extra measures to accommodate my mold allergy & chemical sensitivity. Which, based on countless travel experiences, is hard to do at the same time (e.g. impeccably clean, non-moldy places often use very strong cleaning chemicals plus signature scents etc.). Especially in more mold-prone areas. I felt great here. Some real perfectionists and allergy-friendly staff at work =) Thanks again!

We had a lovely time, staff were extremely helpful, recommended highly. Only downside was wife slipped on the floor in the bathroom so please be careful. We went and bought a non slip mat for a few euros. Very well managed, lovely clean property, it will be lovely when the bar is finished and the bakery opens next door.

If you're going to Porto, I can definitely recommend this place. Great, modern apartments in a quiet and peaceful location. If you choose a pool-view apartment, you’ll also get sunshine on the terrace for almost the entire day and guaranted no road noise It’s close enough to Porto downtown — about a 7–8 minute walk to the main shopping area. The pool area is really nice and relaxed, and you don’t have to fight with other guests over sun loungers. The apartments have everything you need to cook for yourself and more, including a large fridge with plenty of space for drinks and food. There’s also a large supermarket just a 5-minute walk away. The reception staff are so nice,super friendly and helpful, and there’s a bakery right next door where you can buy/order sandwiches and simple lunches. We’ll definitely consider staying here again if we return to Porto. An Uber back in the evening after restaurant visits or shopping was only around €4–7. The only very minor downside was the variations experienced in Wi-Fi speed, but absolute not a problem. Pictures don´t lie, it real nice apartments, and the smiling helpfull reception girls are so nice.
