Did you know there’s a secret pool in Porto city centre? 🏊‍♂️🌿 If you walked past the .portoaliados you'd have no idea that behind its doors lies a gorgeous outdoor swimming pool, garden, and terrace, a real oasis right in the middle of the city! 🏙️💦

It’s a rare find in Porto’s buzzing city centre, and the perfect refreshing escape after a busy day exploring.

We stayed at this stylish hotel while we were in Porto making an episode of and it was utterly fantastic. 🎙🎧

The location is prime, just a short stroll from Porto’s main attractions and the service? 5 stars ⭐️. The lovely team has helped us plan an unforgettable itinerary and discover the best of Porto.

A massive highlight of our stay has been Mercure’s Discover Local concept. It’s all about connecting travellers to the real soul of a place, allowing us to dive deeper into the traditions, flavours, and stories of Porto that most visitors miss. 🌍🍷

One of our favourite moments was grabbing a nata and chatting with hotel manager Tania. She shared some brilliant insider tips on why this area of Porto is such a perfect starting point for anyone looking to experience the city like a local.

And let’s not forget the hotel, from delicious sharing boards in the restaurant 🍽️ to those post-exploration dips in the pool, it’s been the perfect base to unwind and feel at home in Porto.
