Penalva Do Castelo Vacations from ￥292,214

Check-in went smoothly, and the staff were very responsive and helpful throughout the stay. There was an issue with the air conditioning which we were informed of upon arrival, but steps to remedy it were already in place and it was fixed right on schedule, and I was impressed with how communicative about it they were. One thing to note is a staircase right at the entry so be prepared for that if you have a lot of luggage. The apartment itself was clean and spacious. The kitchenette had everything you could need. Location was great, right next to the market. We were able to walk to most areas in the main core within 15 to 20 minutes, though transit stops were just outside, and Uber is actually inexpensive (which we used once coming back from the Ribeira because those hill can be brutal especially after a long day of site seeing). Plenty of restaurants, and cafes, as well as a shopping mall. All in all, I would recommend this property and would absolutely stay again.

We did not stay at Lenscape coterie as it was undergoing renovations and therefore not open. We were relocated to another hotel in the group Torel Saboaria where we had a wonderful room. The breakfast was superb we had lunch and dinner which were equally as good as breakfast. We cannot thank all the staff enough as everyone was so kind, helpful and attentive even to the point of providing gluten free pancakes at breakfast.

The room is beautiful and conveniently located. There was more than enough space for my husband and I. It felt like luxury accommodations. The staff were extremely helpful from letting us know where to get good food to operating the laundry facility. I would stay here again.

Felt very safe. Was very close to lots of things, with a small store right below good for drinks and snacks.
