A beautiful hotel in a convenient location to get into town. The pool was a huge bonus, the breakfast was good and the room was comfortable. Other guests could be quite noisy in the corridors which we heard in our room - not the fault of the hotel but perhaps some signage in the halls asking for quiet especially during nighttime hours could be helpful. The only area I have to mark down on is the housekeeping could have been better - the coffee station in the room wasn't refilled, and the glasses we used were taken away/not replaced.
I had a wonderful time
Such a lovely hotel in a beautiful setting. The breakfast was delicious and the staff was so gracious. I look forward to visiting again.

Beautiful and comfortable hotel.
We’ve just spent a week in this beautiful hotel and it was everything I had hoped it would be.
The building has been renovated and decorated in perfect keeping with its historic architectural style whilst adding modern comfortable features.
The staff were friendly and welcoming and the breakfasts fabulous.
Beautiful period property, lovely helpful staff. Clean and comfortable room. Good breakfast. Small pool but perfect for cooling down in after a day exploring.
Initially we were a bit disappointed as the room we were given was quite dark and in the annex to the main buiding, and it necessitated going on to the main road to the main building (using key cards) for breakfast and the gardens / swimming pool.
We moved rooms for the 2nd night and the experience was so much better - a room in the main building with a large balcony.
Make sure you ask for eggs with your breakfast if you want them as they're cooked to order, but we weren't told on our first day so didnt realsie they were included.

Great small hotel in a great location.
We have just spent 3 nights at the Marques Garden House by Olivia in Porto and are absolutely delighted by the experience. The hotel is small in terms of the number of rooms however the rooms are a good size. Our room was on the top floor and there is no lift but we managed the stairs very well. The hotel has been converted from i assume a private dwelling at some point. Care has been taken to retain as many of the original features as possible and yet give the modern traveller everything you need. The staff are very welcoming with Carol deserving a special mention. If you like staying in branded hotels this is not for you, but if you like different and quirky this is great. It's location is excellent, out from the centre surrounded by locals but an easy walk or even easier metro ride to all of the action.
Located next to the subway in a very quiet neighborhood, the juror suite is a good size for a family of four. The breakfast quality is excellent. Highly recommended.

Short break
Very friendly and helpful staff. The hotel is very comfortable and clean, lovely breakfast and it is convenient for the metro, literally a few steps away, perfect for transport to the airport and city centre. Several nice restaurants nearby.
Excellent! Staff was extremely accommodating and friendly! Delicious breakfast. Metro station is right there. Very clean. Bed was a little hard. No elevator.
The staff at the hotel were all lovely, nothing was too much trouble. The ambience is great and the original aspects of the decor lovely. The garden and pool were very relaxing. Also incredibly convenient for the metro.
We stayed three nights and really enjoyed the combination of easy access to the city via tube station right across the street and a nice, serene backyard with lovely pool to relax in the afternoon sun. The staff were excellent: polite happy service with a smile!
Our room was large and extremely comfortable. It had a second set of doors that opened into a beautiful private Courtyard with the pool. The bathroom was modern and very functional. There was a coffee maker in the room on a desk which we used once. We both liked the breakfast buffet
and indulged! Location was across the street from the Marques Metro stop, which we used twice. Staff was extremely accommodating and helpful. We highly recommended this hotel. There weren't many restaurants nearby, so we really enjoyed Mama Mia two nights in a row.
Just finished our 2 week visit to Portugal, this was the nicest placed we stayed. The staff lovely, the room spotless, breakfast delicious and right across the street from the Metro stop! We highly recommend.
