Hotel Vincci Ponte de Ferro

Hotel Vincci Ponte de Ferro

10/10 Excellent
"It was a beautiful stay. Amazing staff. Perfect location. Restaurant staff were so courteous and accommodating. Explore the hotel grounds if you can. You won't be disappointed. Gym is tiny, but never had to use it because Porto is so hilly, we got all the exercise we needed climbing those hills and staircases. All-in-all, a lovely experience."
