About this property

GuestReady - Historic Courtyard Townhouse

Welcome to my home!

This is a real family house in the centre of Porto. It has five bedrooms, three of them with double beds, one with a single bed, and the last one with two single beds. High-quality hotel sheets will be available for free.

There is also a dining room, but we recommend the private outdoor patio for enjoying group meals, weather permitting. You won't want to miss this fantastic spot.

The fully equipped kitchen will be a great help when preparing a delicious meal: the stove, oven, microwave, coffee machine, dishwasher, and washing machine are at your disposal!

The three bathrooms have all the amenities you need to freshen up, such as a shower or bathtub, toilet, and sink. Fresh towels and complimentary toiletries will also be provided for your convenience.

The house is always professionally cleaned for your comfort.

I wish you an excellent stay!

Guests have access to the entire property!

We are GuestReady, a property manager, and we want to ensure your stay will be as smooth and comfortable as possible. We are available 24/7 should you need any assistance during your stay. Kindly note that this is a personal home so please take good care of it as if it was your own.

The house is 300 m from the upper deck of the Dom Luis I bridge, which can be crossed on foot, enjoying the unique and breathtaking view.

You can walk to Batalha Square and Santa Catarina Street (500 m away), the traditional Bolhão Market, Aliados Avenue, or the Cathedral.

Also, the fantastic Funicular dos Guindais (a funicular opened in 1891) will be your neighbour: ideal for going down the steep hill next to the Medieval Wall, connecting Batalha to the Ribeira neighbourhood, located on the river bank. One of the highlights of this trip is the fantastic views of the Dom Luis I Bridge, the medieval city wall, and the various Port Wine Cellars located on the riverfront.

Don't miss the picturesque Escadas dos Guindais to make the same descent, where you will find the Guindalense Football Club, a bar spot famous for its city views.

During your stay at Guestready - Guindais Well House, you won't need to use transportation as it is in the city's heart!

Porto Airport is just a 30-minute drive away.

The nearest metro stations are S. Bento and Bolhão, 450m away, and there are several bus lines available within a 300m radius.

Before your check-in, we will send you your check-in options and where to pick up the keys. Please note that personal check-in with a concierge costs 10€, pending availability.

Once a reservation is confirmed, guests are requested to complete a guest registration form following the legal obligations stipulated by local authorities in Portugal.

We provide the basic amenities for the first use: samples of shower gel, shampoo, soap, toilet paper, kitchen roll, sponge, dishwashing products and bin bag. Please let us know if you need cleaning or extra linen; we will gladly provide an additional charge.

There is a zero-tolerance policy for smoking on the property. If our team discovers evidence that this rule has been breached (e.g., smoke smell, ashes, butts, etc.), we fully reserve the right to charge a €200 smoking fee at a minimum.

Please note that for stays longer than 30 nights, a fair use policy of the utilities will apply with a limit of 80€.

Extra keys: 20€ (extra pair of keys when available, lost keys or service to open the door during your stay).

Extra cleaning with linen: the price of a cleaning fee.

Extra Clothing: 30€ (Towels and sheets for 2pax, i.e. when the sofa bed is not included).

Family of five goes to Porto!

My husband and I brought the “kids” (26, 25, and 22 on a family vacation. We’re staying a few days and n each city…First Lisbon, now Porto, on to Madrid next. Great time in Porto. Place was located well…close to train station, easy pickup for Uber and Taxi. Our host was ready and waiting to welcome us and give us the quick tour, even though our train was delayed. Obrigada!

Great Location Great Relaxing Stay

The Gundais Well House is perfectly located in the Ribiera at the top of the stairs that lead down to the lower deck of the Ponte Luis I bridge and on to the charming waterfront. Easy walking to the bridge, the waterfront or Santa Caterina street. Amazing food, shopping and walking is all around. The house is beautiful with thick stone walls, big bedrooms, a nice porch to sit on and a giant patio off of the lower most bedroom that is perfect for morning coffee or tea. The kitchen is well appointed and nice as well. Seven of us from two families stayed here and had a fantastic stay. Highly recommended. Bring bug spray if you are coming in the summer. It is humid and there are some mosquitos, but nothing bug spray won't counter.

Convenient location for larger group

This was a lovely old charming house in a great location—lots of space and a nice garden. One of the bedrooms and bathrooms is located on the basement/garden level and has some sewage-like odor, so sleeping in that space did not work out for us. The house was otherwise very convenient but hot since no AC was available. Unfortunately, construction in the neighborhood was happening from 7 am to 6 pm on both sides of the house, and the noise levels (73bD) were stressful. Communication was ok; kitchen utensils were sparse. The value for the price was acceptable.

Fantastic View

The property was central to all of the historic area of Porto and we walked to everything. It is literally on the steps to the Dom Luis I bridge allowing us to visit the Ribeira district of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. The property was well equipped and had a lovely courtyard. All as promised and more! Would definitely stay here again. Oh and beds were excellent.
