About

D. Duarte I

D. Duarte I is a small 3-star hotel tucked along Avenida Rodrigues de Freitas, about 600 metres from Chafariz dos Poveiros. With only 11 rooms, it offers a more personal, low-key alternative to Porto's larger properties. The building is recently refreshed — guests repeatedly mention how new everything feels, from the furnishings to the fixtures.

Rooms range from budget doubles to quadruples, some with shared bathrooms. Standard amenities include air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and parquet floors. A 24-hour reception and luggage storage make arrival and departure flexible, while free parking is a genuine bonus in a city where spaces are scarce.
