Mid-Range

"Castelo de Santa Catarina is a historic mid-range hotel that's a five-minute walk from the Marques Metro station, north of Porto's historic core." Full review

Lonely Planet

"Castelo Santa Catarina is a whimsical, late-19th-century, pseudo-Gothic castle, a fabulously over-the-top hideaway in palm-shaded, azulejo-smothered gardens complete with its own chapel." Full review

Choose between more elegant, period-furnished doubles in the castle and smaller rooms in a modern annexe.
