Ideally situated in an old and noble residence, surrounded by trees and calm, it is just a 10 minutes' walk to the Oporto city centre and 5 minutes' to the nearest Metro Station. In the city centre it is possible to visit many touristic sites, such as "Torre dos Clérigos", "Palácio da Bolsa", "Sé Catedral", the Town Hall, S. Bento Station, the Churches of "Misericórdia", "Carmo" and "Carmelitas" as well as the Rectory of the University. Still within the perimeter of the city centre, the walking route through the "Rua das Flores" is a "must see" leading the visitors to one of the oldest parts of the city, with particular emphasis to the "Ribeira" area along the Douro River. In the Dukes Corner we are very proud to offer a warm welcome to indulge our guests' wishes and be certain that they will come back again. There are 7 bedrooms available (one of them is a Suite) individually furnished and distinctive in style and adapted to the modern demands of comfort. All rooms have en-suite bathroom with free WIFI access, Cable TV and Air Conditioning. Our guests can still benefit from our breakfast room, a lounge where they can rest, read or socialize and still relax in our heartwarming outside area while feasting with our diverse and delicious menu accompanied by an excellent wine.

Stayed here during our Camino trip and this was the only hotel we found in this area. Manuel, I…read morebelieve to be its owner/receptionist who was kind and hospitable. It's two star hotel and we didn't expect much about it but a room and a bathroom were clean, with a nice size balcony. Bonus was a nice swimming pool after a long day walk. It was a treat for sure. There was not much around the area so we ate at the restaurant attached to the hotel. Food was exceptionally good with local cuisine. One of the food to try in Portugal was Seafood Rice and we had that one and a skewer of squid which came with other seafood on it. The total cost with 1 and half bottle wine and bread, olives, and pate with the food was 40 Eruo. What a gem in this little town!

A real gem. This is a small place (8 rooms) in a great location along the river. The rooms are…read moresmall but beautifully appointed with high end modern appointments and spotlessly maintained. The breakfast is quite spectacular in a smallish room on the first floor which requires timed seatings in order to accommodate all the guests. But the true heart of the operation are the gracious, friendly and delightful owners Carmen and Joao. They could not be more helpful, from recommending things to do, places to eat or providing a running commentary on matters Portuguese. It is a guesthouse and not a hotel. Some criticisms on other websites have noted there are rules (such as guests must be in by 1am or risk being out all night) but we found them perfectly reasonable and acceptable. We have travelled all over the world and have rarely had a better lodging experience.

It is in an old house--narrow stair makes its way from courtyard at the bottom up to the different floors. The rooms are small--old house!--but ours had two beds, sink, desk, closet. Big lovely shared both. All spotless. We had a gorgeous view of the city from our room and shared a lovely balcony with an even more stunning view. The owner is so helpful! We arrived early, she took the time to make a map with places to see, mae a reservation for a fado concert for us. And the breakfast is just great--fresh orange juice, fruits, boiled eggs, ham, cheese--everything! I loved this place! Just the house gives you a feel for the city!

However Luis told us to go in and he turned on all the lights in the dining room just for the 2 of us! His father was already resting and watching tv in the sitting room but he got up turned the stove on to cook for us. How lucky were we to have such warm reception! We had Bacalhau a Bras and a pork dish both were exceptional. The whole meal were 20euro including bread, salad and 2 glasses of wine. What more could we ask for? Luis stayed with us the whole time sharing wih us his life stories and the history of the restaurant. We had such a great night not only because of the food but their hospitality. Should definitely check this place out if you are in Monfortinho.
