Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 26 September 2026 · How we review hotels
This hotel is ideal for wine enthusiasts seeking panoramic vistas of the city. Guests rate it exceptionally on Booking.com and Google alike. Guests enjoy access to an expansive regional wine cellar, comprehensive wine-themed spa facilities, and terraces with views of Porto. However, travellers should note that the property is removed from Porto city centre and situated on a steep hillside.
Guests score it 9.6 out of 10 — the average across the 14 hotels we list in Porto is 9.3.
The 30-second verdict
What Guests Loved
- Every guest room features a private, furnished terrace positioned to overlook the Douro River and the historic Ribeira district. These outdoor spaces provide a quiet setting for observing the city's skyline and traditional architecture.
- The Caudalie Vinothérapie Spa utilizes grape and vine extracts in its treatments, complemented by a panoramic indoor infinity pool. Floor-to-ceiling windows ensure the landscape remains visible while guests utilize the various wellness and fitness facilities.
Things to Consider
- Situated in Vila Nova de Gaia, the hotel is a 15-minute walk or short taxi ride from Porto’s central attractions. While the area is peaceful, guests may find the commute less convenient for frequent daily trips.
- The property is built on a notable incline, resulting in steep walks to the nearby Port lodges or the riverfront. Those with mobility concerns should utilize the hotel’s internal elevators or local car services for transport.
Should you book it?
The Yeatman is worth booking for wine lovers wanting tastings from an expansive cellar — but pick somewhere else if you want to stay directly in Porto city centre.
