Overlooking the Douro River in eastern Porto, the Palácio do Freixo is one of the city’s most elegant historic landmarks. Originally built in the 18th century as a Baroque palace designed by Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni, the building showcases grand staircases, ornate stonework, and beautifully preserved azulejo tiles.

Today, the palace blends history with modern luxury as part of the Pestana Palácio do Freixo hotel. Guests can enjoy sweeping river views, landscaped gardens, and a peaceful atmosphere just a short distance from Porto’s vibrant historic center. Staying here feels like stepping back in time—without giving up contemporary comfort.

Whether you’re visiting Porto for culture, wine, or relaxation, the Palácio do Freixo offers a unique and memorable experience.
