BOUTIQUE GRAN CRUZ HOTEL PORTO, PORTUGL

www.TravelsWit...
It's the luck of the draw picking a hotel or restaurant. Gran Cruz lucky portion is: only seven rooms, on the Porto waterfront, and renowned chef. The unlucky? On the Porto waterfront with noisy activity and music until at least 2A!! Bring ear plugs for your stay. Please don't forget to Subscribe, Share and Like! Thanks. May 22, 2024

The hotel looks amazing! Thank you for the video!

It’s all about the food in this hotel. I wondered why people kept coming in from the outside until I was told about the chef

Amazing video

GREAT hotel except for the noise. 💕

Beautiful Hotel ! If you have several glasses of Port you probably will not hear the noise at night !! I do like a glass of Port after dinner.

[@SheilaSimkin]

I wish that was so, Chip. Sadly not the cases and I resorted to the handy-dandy ear plugs. 🙈

We enjoyed Porto in 1993, walked all over exploring and tasting. Always keep a small selection of vintage Port at home. Don't like many Portuguese wines, but I hear they have improved.

I'm a wine drinker, Claudia and rarely find a wine that isn't drinkable to my uncultured palate. 😂

Sheila, I remember Matteus Rose' in college. It came in a dark glass bottle with sort of a basket covering the bottom half. It was cheap and available. At that time everything tasted good. Happy travels. Leonard. Btw. The hotel seems nice but the rug right by the bed looked a little iffy.

[@SheilaSimkin]

Mateus was the first wine us non-drinkers ever drank. Didn’t make anyone gag and we got used to wine. On this trip, it’s not really the “hotel” but the chef. Really lucked out with that.

@davidmccutcheon485 For some reason, your comment didn't show below. Bad YT It was the waiter's suggestion, David since I never think of these things. Duh.

[@MultiJono81]

Looks great. Did you get the waiter to be your camera man ? The staff all look welcoming and friendly, and the sheep’s cheese looks delicious. I’ve only visited Porto once and I was super impressed. It can take on Lisbon any day.

[@SheilaSimkin]

😂It was server’s suggestion when he saw me with camcorder. I really liked Porto

[@EdwardConnors]

I love port I always forget it's from portugal! Had a fancy dinner at Earth at Hidden Pond last week and ordered a port that was actually an ice wine. Very good! Strong stuff though!

[@SheilaSimkin]

I don't think I've ever tasted an ice wine! Educate me, Eddy.

[@EdwardConnors]

@@SheilaSimkin It's a wine made from frozen grapes! Typically harvested in winter in countries like Canada, Germany, etc. Very sweet and viscous (altho this one was not that thick).

[@SheilaSimkin]

@@EdwardConnors Thanks for the info. If it’s sweet, wouldn’t be my kind of drink.
