“Fabulous Break”

★★★★★

written by DebsyO on 19/01/2017

Just returned from a 3 day break to Porto staying at the 5* Crowne Plaza Hotel.
On arrival our transfer was waiting for us, such a lovely welcoming chap and a brand new private car! Just a 15 minute ride (we were informed an hour) so that was a real bonus.
The bell boy was waiting for us outside the hotel and a very warm welcome at reception, so relaxed and charming and lots and lots of information. We arrived at 12.45 and our room was ready, which was a real bonus.
10th floor and a junior site, massive bed with sumptuous pillows. Nice modern bathroom with good lighting, robes and toiletries....simply perfect.
We enjoyed 3 full days, into the city, we walked mostly, but there were buses and the metro just 10 minutes away. We were very lucky with the weather, 3 days with not a cloud in the sky and unseasonably warm.
Porto is full of treasures and a wealth of history to explore...one of the nicest I have visited, the coast was 50 minutes walk away and a most pleasant afternoon spent thee. lots of restaurants very reasonably priced considering the current exchange rate.
We had breakfast included in our deal. This was fine, lots of fresh fruit, cold meats, bread and pastries etc. The hot food is typical of European hotels, if you like a cooked English you will be very disappointed, though the scrambled eggs were delicious. Also they are coffee drinkers, tea at breakfast was a bit hit and miss, top tip, take some extra tea bags from your room to add to the 1 they put in the jug!

Very pleasant stay and a wonderful weekend overall.
