Everything was absolutely perfect: ultra-confortable place, wonderful view, attention and style for each single detail (they even left chocolate for our twins!) and extreme cleanliness. A pleasure for all senses...

The PortoSense apartments are in a terrific location looking down on the central Ribeiro Square and across the Douro river in the old part of town. They are in a lovely old building, stylishly decorated, spotlessly clean, with fantastic facilities: cable TV, well equipped kitchen with stove, dishwasher, and washing machine, lovely bathrooms with everything you could need, a lift...

The hotel was very centrally located and close to all the restaurants.. Nicely decorated and very functional. There was a nice view and the access to the building was easy and the internet access one of the fastest I have found. There was a small cafe across the street with a good selection of breakfast items and snacks. The staff... More

This was the best apartment I stayed in while backpacking Portugal! It is located in the best area if you plan on visiting Porto (Ribeira Square); right on the river and near the historic district. The apartment was located in an old building, but had very modern appliances and decor. The little balcony provides a great view out on the... More

I don't think there could be a better location in Porto than right on the Ribeira, and Portosense is absolutely perfectly positioned right at the centre of it. In a beautiful old building that's been renovated and styled with every modern convenience, my teenage daughter and I enjoyed out short stay in the San Francisco room with a lovely little... More

We stayed in PortoSense for 3 nights. It was a perfect experience. It's located very central by the river. We have beautiful view of the river and historical buildings in the old town. The apartment is very spacious. We even have a kitchen and living area. The decoration is very modern and comfortable. The staff (Philip and Cristina) are extremely... More

I just came back from a long week-end in Porto with 2 friends and we were super happy to stay in the Santa Clara studio (1st floor). It's an ideal combination of central location (next to the Ribeira quays), old stylish building, and freshly renovated design style inside. The check-in and check-out steps are super easy. You get a code... More

We stayed three days at the Santa Clara apartment. Outstanding location, just in the Praça da Ribeira. Everything allright, except for the noise at night, but if you do not mind it do not matter at all. The design and furniture are very well appointed, so the kitchens facilities. Better choice than the hotels nearby, for sure. We expressly recommended.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
PortoSense apartments are ideal for a romantic getaway, family holiday, group of friends or simply a work trip.We offer privacy, space and comfort with the added-value of feeling as if you were in your own home.In Praça da Ribeira, a stone-throw away from the River Douro, you can feel the History: in the fourteenth Century the naval construction filled this port and these narrow streets with movement. It is one of the most visited places by tourists.The recently renovated PortoSense building is easily recognized by the magnificent fountain from the eighteenth century which stands outside it, built in the 1780’s and decorated with Portugal’s Coat of Arms. Cook your own meals in an intimate and relaxed environment, or go out and enjoy the huge variety of restaurants, bars, tapas and typical taverns which you will find nearby by walking through the Cais da Ribeira, up to the Mercado das Flores, Infante, in the direction of the city centre, into Avenida dos Aliados, Praça S. Domingos, Rua Galerias de Paris, where you can be surprised with live music and a very fun nightlife. ... more   less
