Vila Foz Hotel & Spa - Member of Design Hotels

Wonderful hotel, it used to be a palace. The room has got to be one of the prettiest rooms i have seen, very well designed and the archtecture is amazing. Bathroom is also stunning, everything is not only beautiful and fancy but very comfortable and very good quality. Breakfast has a ton of options for fruits, juices, cakes eggs etc. The pool and SPA are also amazing, with a dry sauna and a turkish sauna, everything you could need like snacks and refreshments in the pool area are also provided at no aditional cost. Would definetly come back.

Sadly this place did not live up to its 5 Stars. Location: Too far from Porto. In good traffic 15 minutes. View: Sea view across the main dual road and lovely boulevard Room: We took one of the two sea view rooms in the main house. Dismally dark. One slim window looking out to sea but against a far wall so no view really unless you stand and go to the window. Same slim window in bedroom with direct sea view. Great when awake only. Bathroom has same but when using need the blind down, do no view. The ‘unique’ shower looks directly across to the next property. Again, blind down. The best part was absence of beside tables. Nowhere to put items and no light switch. This was about one meter above you where a shelf sat across the width of the bed. Sofas, if you can call them that, would. E better placed in a garden or play area. Breakfast: Basic, no daily variety. The same every day. Eggs were awful and served alone poor things! No garnish, nothing. On two occasions we asked for grilled tomatoes and were told it was not possible. What?! So whatever eggs you order presentation was zero from ten and taste was the same. You can guess what the rest was like based on this. Best dish was poached eggs served in a bowl of warm water! Service was slow and without pleasantness. Room service: Appalling. Simple request for ice and some lime slices took 20 minutes and arrived with lemon slices. Two more attempts on different days. Ice and orange slice. After 15 minutes ice and a peeled orange presented in a cloche arrived. With a bill for €5!! Needles to say this was sent back. Housekeeping: Dreadful. No requests, and there were not many, were adhered to. Simple extra towel requests were ignored, or am overload of towels delivered Beware, turn down is attempted at around 16:30/17:00. So a huge disappointment for a similar size cost. Much better places close and in Porto with lovely views. Try the Yeatman. Check out: Would have been nice to have been asked whether we enjoyed our stay.

This is a fabulous hotel. It's beautifully designed, quiet and discreet and exudes luxury. Excellent restaurant. Apparently, it has a Michelin star, but I didn't have time to try it. The breakfasts are great and include fresh oysters! The ocean-facing rooms in the newly built annexe are excellent value. If you take a ground-floor room, you might not get much of a sea view, but you'll have a large sun terrace with loungers, which you won't get on the upper floors. The ocean views from the upper floor are fantastic. As they're west-facing, you'll see the sunset every day. If you take a non-ocean-view room, you'll save a bit of money but be looking onto the hillside behind. The rooms in the main hotel are luxurious and large. I was offered a choice, but I chose an ocean-view room in the annexe, which I'll do when I go back - because I'm definitely going back! I really loved this hotel.

Vila Foz is a beautiful hotel in Porto, Portugal, with accommodating hostesses, hostesses, and bar staff. John and Pablo will ensure your drinks are perfect and served timely and excellent conversationalists. They have a 1-star Michelin restaurant, but we couldn't get a reservation due to our short stay. I recommend making a reservation when you book the room to ensure a vacancy. I'd give it six stars, but the app doesn't allow it. It's worth the stop. I wish I had more time to stay here!

For someone visiting Porto for the first time, it has an ideal position if you want to see the Atlantic Ocean as well. The hotel is well appointed, with good facilities. There is an old well kept part to the hotel, along with a new modern part. The spar is also up to date, and worth visiting. Breakfast and dinner were both of a high quality.

5 star hotel and excellent service. Starting from the warm welcome from Marya to the staff of Vila Foz restaurant. The hotel was beaitiful among other things.

Great service, great rooms, ocean views
