Recuperaram uma antiga casa residencial e fizeram o hotel mais luxoso da Foz e Matosinhos
Um hotel de sonho
Tem todo o tipo de serviços e comunidades
Situa se na Avenida da Foz uma zona a beira mar
Recebe grandes eventos e figuras públicas
Não é para todas as carteiras mas só de olhar para a fachada recuperada parece um palacete autêntico
Nunca tive oportunidade de ficar hospedada pois não é para a minha carteira mas é muito elogiado sobretudo a nível internacional
1. The hotel only provides "complimentary water" (a 500ml filtered water that probably worth €1 maximum) once a day. After you finish the bottle they will not provide refill of the water, instead, they "kindly" ask you to order room service and purchase sparkling and still water for 5x the retail price. Have to say I've never had this experience in any other 5 star hotels
2. The housekeeping staff are extremely rude and unhelpful
3. Sommelier at the Vila Foz Restaurante (1 michelin star) was extremely pushy in selling the wines. I asked to see the wine list but didn't fancy ordering anything becuase the list was short and overpriced, then she kept educating me and recommending her light body and full body red wines, "oaky" white wines. I very much thank her for the education but as a WSET level 4 holder I reckon I've got hold of the basic knowledge
We have found the location perfect for our stay in Porto. Just 25 minutes by bike to the city centre, riding along the coastline was a nice experience and if you go by bus it stops in front of the hotel.
On sunny days you can relax on the beach on the other side of the road.
Overall hotel good and we could come back. Restaurant, no way !
