Independent "Porto’s not the biggest of cities, but it is hilly and cut in two by the River Douro – so the location of Infante Sagres, right in the walkable cultural district, is priceless"
Michelin Guide "Set on the medieval streets of the old city center, combines modern comforts with the classical elegance you came here for. It’s long been among Porto’s most elegant lodgings" Full review
