Forte de Gaia, Autograph Collection

I could not fault The Lodge. The staff were incredible and the facilities were great. The pool is beautiful, a perfect escape from the busy city. During my stay there was a noise outside my room on the night that kept me awake (no fault of the property) I mentioned it in the morning, and I got a call an hour later saying they would be moving me rooms to ensure that didn't happen again. Special shout out to the housekeeping staff who work so hard keeping the place spotless. They pop into the room at least twice a day, it was always so clean.

I cannot say enough about the friendliness and professionalism the staff displayed our entire visit. We stayed for 3 nights and upon arrival until departing they knew our names, room number and went out of their way to find us amazing dinner reservations last minute at places we would have never found on our own. The breakfast that is served at the hotel is exceptional and has wonderful views and outdoor terrace. I heard dinner is great there too, but we wanted to explore options outside of the hotel. Location was great for activities along the river and easy access to the bridge to cross into Porto town, where there were a ton of other restaurants and activities too. In addition, the property is close to many wine tasting venues. My 9 year old daughter was with us and she loved the pool area, where they also serve snacks and wonderful drinks. They went out of their way to make her a very comfortable bed in our room. The room and bathroom were extremely spacious with great closet space, large walk in shower and so much room for the 3 of us. Everything about this property is high quality and I would gladly recommend to anyone visiting Porto.

The hotel has everything you can possibly need. Close to all main port wine houses and with very easy access to the main centre of Porto. Very confortable room and L'Occitane toiletries. Also, having an outdoor swimming pool (heated) is amazing, perfect to relax between morning and evening turistic activities. The restaurant and bar are fantastic, I loved the port wine cocktails. I strongly recommend this hotel. The hotel was very accommodating for our 2 year old daughter, they provided cot and a very cute kids toiletries bag. There is parking at the hotel and its activeted with "via verde" which makes everything super easy.

We had a wonderful stay at the Lodge Hotel, the staff were exceptionally friendly and went out of their way to make our stay pleasant and effortless. We had an upgraded room, with a river view and it was lovely to be able to look out onto the river and Porto. The bed was very comfortable, shower great, and we enjoyed the breakfast options. We found the location perfect for visiting the port houses. With the parking garage connected (they will park your car inside so you can come/go as you please) it was really effortless to drive in. Our only regret was not staying longer!

The location was great! The decor was modern and the staff great. The restaurant was really nice! Both sparkling and still water kept topped up in our room during the day….turndown service a nice surprise! Pool area was way better than the photos!
