Norte Golf Holidays

There where shops that we’re walking distance and some you needed to take an uber if you did walk.

Our stay at 1872 River House by Olivia in Porto was truly exceptional. The hotel is perfectly located right in front of the river, in the heart of the touristic area, yet it maintains an intimate and charming atmosphere. Everything is within walking distance — major attractions, beautiful viewpoints, and countless restaurants just steps away. The hotel itself is small but absolutely beautiful. It has a unique historic character, with ancient Porto vibes that make you feel as if you’ve stepped into another century, yet with all the comfort and elegance of a boutique stay. Every detail in the décor is thoughtful and well curated. Service was outstanding from the very beginning. Check-in was very fast, and they even accommodated us earlier than expected. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they gave us wonderful recommendations for exploring the city. One of the most special touches was the surprise they prepared for my husband’s birthday — a bottle of wine, homemade cookies, pastel de nata typical of the region, and a handwritten card wishing him a happy birthday. It was such a thoughtful detail, and we truly appreciated the care behind it. Breakfast was served in the cafeteria right in front of the water, which made mornings even more magical. Breakfast was included and delicious. They also had tea, coffee, and fresh fruits available for guests throughout the day, which was such a nice extra touch. Overall, an unforgettable experience. We would absolutely

Hotel is in the best location in Porto for walking around the Ribeira district, restaurants, and quality ‘Mase in Portugal’ shops as well as the normal touristy shops

The staff is always friendly and helpful. The room was impeccably clean. I booked last minute and was greeted with an upgrade. Thank you :)

We considered several hotels before making up our minds about the Intercontinental and we are delighted we did! It is an impeccable hotel! The décor makes an immediate statement of quiet grandeur and classic elegance. The lighting is a standout: the cascading chandeliers with their layered black shades and crystal elements, create a striking contrast and the polished marble floors, detailed with intricate geometric inlays, convey craftsmanship and permanence, while the neutral palette—creams, ivories, soft golds, and deep blacks—keeps the space timeless rather than trendy. The service is superb (all of the staff is great, reception, restaurant, concierge, etc). Rooms are very spacious and spotless clean and are provided with toiletries, bathrobes, iron with ironing board, great hair dryer, safe, coffee station, and mini bar! The bathroom is also very spacious and comfortable with separate bathtub and shower areas and a separate area for the toilette and bidet. The decoration of the rooms continue with the same ambiance created in the lobbies. The location is superb! The hotel is in the middle of everything and within a short walk to a lot of the touristic attractions. There is a very nice Italian restaurant called La Ricotta nearby which is definitely worth trying. Would most certainly stay again!

Great room, good breakfast. Was a bit farther from the city center than advertised
