A palace hotel in a Baroque National Monument on the Douro, Pestana Palácio do Freixo suits a company stay where meetings share space with historic surroundings and time to unwind. Designed by Nicolau Nasoni, the palace stands among gardens and green spaces overlooking the river, while guest rooms occupy the former mill building. Meeting rooms with different layouts host conferences and meetings of medium size. Palatium serves Portuguese cuisine in a room with restored frescoes, and Nasoni Bar occupies the fireplace room, with large windows looking towards the river. An outdoor pool overlooks the Douro, alongside a heated indoor pool, sauna and Turkish bath; Porto’s historic centre is three kilometres away.
