Canto de Luz

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Canto De Luz and couldn’t recommend it more. The location was perfect for exploring the city – everything is easily accessible.|Our room was fantastic: huge, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. The bed deserves a special mention as it was genuinely the comfiest bed we’ve ever slept in. It was cleaned to a good standard every day |Breakfast each morning was delicious, with a great selection and consistently high quality. The staff were outstanding throughout our stay – so friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. They gave us excellent recommendations for things to do, places to eat, and really helped us make the most of our time in Porto.|We also loved the outdoor pool, which was heated and a lovely place to relax. Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations in every way, and we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Porto.

An amazing choice of top quality suites in this beautifully-designed Boutique Hotel, where a choice of healthy breakfasts is served in the glassed in dining area by the open kitchen. My sister, a friend and I stayed in two of the adjoining suites called "Urban Retreat 1", which could easily accommodate 2 families (each suite fits 2 adult + 2 children). The reception and kitchen staff provided us with answers to all of our many questions and communication was wonderful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend that you stay here and book direct at espaisroca.com. We hope to visit some of Espais Roca's other properties one day. Thank you for a wonderful stay, Susan and the team!!

We had a pleasant stay for 4 nights. The room was thoughtfully equipped (e.g., things to cook your own meals if you like). Bed was more comfortable than I expected so that was a plus, as we slept a lot. I were ear plugs to sleep when traveling so I had no issues. But just as an FYI: if you get the city retreat on the ground floor, you may find that noise carries from both outside the street-level windows as well as from the dining area of the hotel, where other guests gather/chat etc. Again, I didn’t hear anything anyway while I slept. Bo complaints just an FYI. The staff were pleasant, accessible, and eager to accommodate us. Great location as well, plenty to see or do but not overwhelmed by crowds. Nice time!

Our party of 7 had a fabulous time staying at Canto Du Luz. The staff were amazing, attentive and helpful with recommendations for local attractions and restaurants to visits. We had a variety of rooms, city view, garden view, and a studio with a kitchenette, all were clean and tidy, and offered a great night'a sleep. The breakfast each morning was such a delight, fresh bread and pastry from a local bakery, fresh fruits, fresh orange juice and a made to order scrambled egg or fried eggs alongside the ham and cheese. Its location is a short stroll into town with many eatery places close by. On this trip, we also stayed in a 5 star hotel over in Gaia, our experience at Canto Du Luz certainly rivaled that, and we certainly visit this boutique hotel again in the near future.

This place is incredible. Our room (urban retreat I) was spacious and clean, also packed to the brim with amenities. The daily breakfast included was absolutely wonderful and the staff are excellent. Everyone on site truly seemed like they were passionate about their work and enjoyed being there. Definitely recommend checking out one of their wine tastings (we opted for the port tasting, as it is in Porto)

Lovely place. When you come through the front door, you’ll be happy to see that everything matches the gorgeous photos online. And the service complements the beauty of the place as well. Zuzanna was such a sweet host. She provided us with recommendations and a to do list for our three day stay. We basically did everything she suggested! My favorite of one of her suggestions is Almada 331 for dinner. Fernando is great there. I also got pretty sick during the trip and she brought tea and ibuprofen up to my room. It was the sweetest and an extremely personable thing to do. And the tea was phenomenal in case you were wondering. The ladies who host and cook for breakfast are also the sweetest and great cooks! I cleaned my plate! You won’t regret staying here. Be back soon, Canto de Luz!

I couldn't recommend this hotel enough. The only reason not to is fear of missing out next time we're in Porto.||The breakfast was a particular highlight. Every day starts with a different fresh fruit, artisan bread and pastry, alongside optional favourites (yogurt, granola, eggs) and a special (French toast, waffles, omelettes). ||The hotel itself was comfortable, spacious and with great decor. The space includes a garden, heated pool and dining area with an open kitchen (the dining room hosts events too!).||As with anything good, the people play the biggest part. So thank you to all the staff who made our stay so memorable, comfortable and ultimately special.||Matt & Katie

I found Canto de Luz from reading the reviews on TripAdvisor. I am so happy we chose that small boutique hotel. We rented the Urban Retreat 2 Bdr since we were 2 couples traveling together. It was perfect. Our accommodations were so comfortable and clean. The staff were all so nice. They helped secure dinner reservations for us and helped us with all our requests. I also took the cooking class which i thoroughly enjoyed. I apologize, but i did forget the chefs name. She met me at Mercado bolhao and had a custard tart for me. She took me around to the many vendors and shared her knowledge of the market before taking me back to Canto de Luz for our cooking class. It was just the 2 of us. She helped me to prepare several appetizers that i think i could recreate at home. The location of the hotel was also very good. Within walking distance to many things. I almost forgot, the stay included a nice breakfast every morning, and if you had an early morning excursion planned, they would make up a small to go bag. If i ever return to Porto again, i would certainly stay there. I highly recommend staying there. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. All in all they made our vacation a very memorable one.
