Costa Verde hotel rooms a the Independent

"It was our first experience in a concept hotel, and it was definitely a positive one. There are no rooms as such, but rather ‘boxes’ with no windows or natural light, so if you intend to spend most of your time in Porto in your hotel room, this isn’t the property for you. The idea is to make use of the shared spaces… and it was great! I must admit we didn’t eat at the restaurant or use the bar, but there is an amazing terrace with two small pools, a sauna, and a couple of places to chill. It’s an extremely interesting place. An honourable mention to the staff members who did a great job. Thanks"

"Fantastic for city breaks as a base, nice rooftop bar to chill at when you're having a break between activities "

"One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed "

"When we checked in, we were greeted by Glauber de Freitas. From our check in he commented that it was soon my wife’s birthday. We didn’t think much of this and asked about local dining options that met our dietary requirements. He suggested a great restaurant that we enjoyed very much. This trip was a celebration for my wife. We had a day trip planned for the actual day. When we returned, we found a gluten free cake and chilling sparkling wine in our room. The gesture capped off a perfect day. Glauber left a beautifully handwritten card wishing my wife a happy birthday and reassured us that everything met our dietary restrictions. We forgot that we shared all this information with him, but he didn’t. This gesture made our stay beyond extraordinary."
