About this property

Charming House - downtown Port

House recently restored located in magical place in the old town, opposite the medieval walls. Fantastic views to the opposite bank of the river. House with 3 floors, 140 sqm, with big private patio suitable for outdoor dining. The location is outstanding, being close to everything worth visiting, the street ending in stone steps, leading you to the river Allowing only pedestrians and very quiet.
Only 200 meters there is the Cathedral, the National Theatre S. João, renowned Art nouveau "Café Magestic" and shopping district.
São Bento Railway Station, the main square and Nasoni's Clérigos Tower easily reachable by foot.
Very close to our place you find the funicular cable car named "Guindais" that takes you right down the Douro river bridges, Port wine cellars, picturesque shops, bistros, bars and restaurants.
5 minutes wolking from St. Catherine Street, the most famous shopping street in the city

Great accommodations for family.

Reserving the apartment and check-in was a breeze. Very good communication! The apartment has a rustic feel and works well for our family of four adults.

Prime location with charm

Beautiful property in a prime location. Loved the charm of the house. It was close to everything, perfect. There were 7 of us and there was plenty of room. Pedros met us there and gave us lots of information and made sure we would have a good visit. There was a lot of noise outside but it is in a busy area, you can't have location without some noise. Great stay

Great location and nice accommodations

The property is very centrally located to all the attractions on a side street. The accommodations were nice but not fancy. The kitchen had all the basics The beds were reasonably comfortable. The only downside is that the apartment is directly adjacent to a main walkway to the river and people are walking by all hours of the day and night talking. Makes it hard to rest at night.

Walk the stairs

We loved the location and the apartment -- notice the paintings by Davide Antolini! You can walk down the stairs to find all the wonderful restaurants or up the hill to old town or cross the bridge to Gaia. Half-way down the stairs is a group of bars that are a perfect place to watch the sunset. And there is a lovely, private courtyard in the back that is a perfect place to sit and have a glass of wine or beer when you're not feeling social.

Large home in a great location, but leaves a lot to be desired.

We absolutely loved the location and courtyard, which were the main reasons we booked this place. But beyond that I wouldn’t expect much. The owner is using a company called Guest Ready to run it and they didn’t seem to be organized very well, or have communication within their company. To start, we had clearly communicated what time we would arrive, but someone was sent there earlier in the day and then left, so we stood outside with 4 small children in the dark for an hour … finally we were able to contact the owner and eventually a Guest Ready person showed up. We then asked for an extra key and fan and the key was brought the next day (I assumed the fan was a no and was fine with that) but then someone else showed up 6 days later with a fan and the key and they seemed like they just received the request. The basement had a horrible smell, as did one corner of the kitchen. One bedroom is in the basement and completely unusable because of the smell, which was ok since we had extra space, but don’t count on it. Overall the place had so much potential, but was a rental that was using as little investment as possible, the furniture was so cheap and minimal. I feel like it could be a nice place if the smell was fixed and someone invested a bit more to make it feel welcoming.

Zentral und wunderschön

Einmalige Lage, um Porto zu entdecken! Die Wohnung ist absolut in Ordnung, hat eine gute Austattung, sehr sauber. Wir waren 8 Personen und hatten alles, was man braucht. Einzig in der Küche waren zwei neue Auminium-Pfannen, die für den Induktionsherd nicht geeignet waren. Ansonsten war unsere Aufenthalt dort sehr angenehm und die Gruppe fühlte sich jederzeit sehr gut aufgehoben. Gerne wieder! Unique location to discover Porto! The apartment is absolutely fine, has good facilities, very clean. We were 8 people and had everything you need. Only in the kitchen were two new aluminum pans that were not suitable for the induction cooker. Otherwise, our stay there was very pleasant and the group felt very well looked after at all times. Gladly again!

Sehr schöne Lage und großes Haus

Das Haus wird über eine Agentur dann betreut, die eine sehr gute und schnelle Beantwortung/Bearbeitung haben, ist nur nicht angegeben, so dass die erste Mail etwas verwirrend war. Auch möchte die Agentur auch eine Kaution, die nur auf dem Inserat der Agentur angegeben ist, hier nicht. Grundausstattung hält nur für 1 Nacht, Klopapier/Spüli/Seife etc. müssen gekauft werden. Weingläser sind nicht vorhanden. Ausreichend Platz mit 4-5 Schlafzimmern, toller Lage, schöner Innenhof.

Good central house

The house provided us with a very good base for a week in Porto. The four bedrooms range from very comfortable double beds to one with low, narrow beds with fairly ordinary pillows. The rooms at the front are a little noisy at night, the one at the back and the one in the basement very quiet. The bathrooms/shower rooms are all well appointed and there is plenty of hot water. The kitchen is well equipped and the dining rooms is fine, with a glass-topped table and eight dining chairs but there are only two armchairs. There is a small, enclosed courtyard at the back of the house though this gets little sun. Note that there only two keys for this house which means four couples have to liaise. Luckily we found a wait in the fine local bar was not a burden. Grocery and good pastry shops are also nearby.

Great location and amenities!

Each bedroom is on its own floor and has their own full bathroom. Lots of space. Can’t beat location so close to train station and metro.
