Frommer's "Bedrooms are compact but high-ceilinged, many with floor plans that were influenced by the building's former role as a private office." Full review
Lonely Planet "A few steps from the Instituto do Vinho do Porto, the three-star Hotel da Bolsa has an attractive facade, but spare carpeted rooms, with small windows and not much space to move about." Full review
Michelin Guide "On the lively Ribeira riverside district, Da Bolsa has a19C facade, although the interior has been completely refurbished in a rather dull modern style."

"One of the country’s newest pousadas is an 87-room gem improbably created from a magnificent 1742 baroque palace...and an adjoining eighteenth-century brick flour mill. ... The new best bet in Porto." Full review
Star Service "Set on the banks of the Douro, on the east side of the Arrabida Bridge, a short five-minute taxi ride to the old city, and looking out across the river toward Vila Novia." Full review

Time Out "If you fancy feeling like a prince or princess on your next trip to Porto, book yourself into an 18th century palace at the Palácio do Freixo." Full review
U.S. News & World Report5.0
"Overlooking the picturesque Douro River, this hotel impresses travelers with its spacious rooms and elegant decor." Full review
