The Lince Santa Clara

Outstanding 5-star hotel in a historic building on a hill directly on the estuary. The hotel offers all the amenities that guests expect in this category. In the spa area there is a heated indoor pool with various whirlpools, fitness room, sauna and steam bath. The breakfast buffet is rich, varied and good. Even with boiled shrimps and champagne! The hotel has two restaurants, one of which is a “gourmet temple”. The rooms are scrupulously clean and luxuriously furnished. The staff are extremely friendly and competent. We were picked up from the parking lot with an umbrella on arrival and directed to reception. We didn't have to worry about our luggage on arrival or departure.

Beautiful historical hotel with a contemporary design touch. From the common spaces aroma to the signage — everything is so thoughtful and of a great taste. Best spa in Porto and neighborhood so far. A destination for those who want to slowdown or an ideal spot for a special occasion.

Spectacular hotel, outstanding in every category. A special note to the gardening work all around. Breakfast is really a brunch. We travelled with two small children and would describe the hotel as family-friendly. (Note that the indoor pool is for children age 3+ only).

A beautiful building with wonderful interior design. Super comfortable bed and very thoughtful personal touches throughout the stay. Really exceptional staff - happy to help with anything and everything. I can't say enough good things about them. Overall the best hotel experience I've ever had. Please, don't change!

Everything, it was an amazing experience overall. The team was great in everything we required. Was an excellent stay. The location is beautiful, we could see the sea through the window. The restaurant was divine and the spa was so relaxing and I wish I had spend more days there. Will definitely be back.
