Locke de Santa Joana

Located in Porto, beside the historic Port wine cellars and just moments from Porto’s vibrant city centre, the hotel invites guests to experience the Douro destination through a sophisticated and immersive perspective. Every detail has been designed to create a sense of effortless elegance.
