Declared a National Monument in 1910, the palace is a unique example of Baroque architecture, with almost ten thousand square metres of gardens and green spaces and breathtaking views of the Rio Douro. The Pestana Palácio do Freixo stands out for its lavish 18th-century architecture. The palace is the work of Nicolau Nasoni, one of the most important architects who contributed to the city of Porto being declared a World Heritage Site. The hotel is an exclusive member of The Leading Hotels of the World.

Even if you don't stay here, a visit to the old palace is definitely worth it.
