About this property

GARDEN HOUSE in Historical Center, with Garage

This is the perfect home for those who like to relax at the end of the day, after exploring the city, drinking a Porto wine in the beautiful and exotic tropical garden!
The whole house opens on glass over the garden and the two small fish ponds, which is very pleasant even at night, as the garden is lit and heated on cold nights!

With an excellent location in the heart of Porto, set in the lush and exotic garden of a typical house of Porto from the end of the 19th century, this house allows you to enjoy a relaxing and refined atmosphere in the heart of the city.

The house consists of glazed spaces over the garden, with living room, bedroom with a comfortable double bed, kitchenette and bathroom, that through three sliding panels allows you to isolate the area of the livingroom where is the sofa bed for two persons (1, 45 x 2.05), making this space a second room independent of the dining area.
The silence and tranquility of these spaces are guaranteed by double glazing.

The house is only 40 m2 but is very well equipped and very comfortable.
In summer the house is always very fresh, hence it is not necessary to have air conditioning. And in winter it is well heated, making it very comfortable.

The kitchen is fully equipped, including vitro-ceramic hob, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, oven, grill, espresso machine, coffee machine, kettle, etc. And in the house there is also a washing machine and a vacuum cleaner, 26 ”LCD television and Wi-Fi connection.

We offer fresh fruits and Porto wine for consumption on arrival free.
On the floor above the house there is an ample glazing made of glass brick from the garage, which is for your exclusive use if you come by car.

An oasis during Porto visit
Jorge is an amazing host who went above and beyond to help us enjoy our time in Porto. I admired structural evidence of his experience as a professional architect in the renovated tiny house - it's small but feature packed. The decorations inside reflect his passion as restorer of classic items (cars, lamps, furniture). Open the doors and you'll step out to an oasis of tropical plants, trees, and water features. The place provides a special environment for mental and physical rest after a full day of exploring Porto! The house is within easy walking distance of the city center with many new and diverse restaurants nearby. You can tell that Jorge is proud of his city and he eagerly shared how to explore Porto. He marked up a paper map with a local's perspective on places we might like to visit, where to eat, and how to get there. That was really valuable to make the most of our time and energy while we were out and about. Lastly, the Garden House is full of amenities and clean - absurdly clean. The level of care and effort required to make that a repeated experience guest after guest is stunning and reflects the host's thoughtfulness for his guests. I will definitely return for future stays at the Garden House.

Wonderful Place
Manuela and Jorge are excellent hosts. They gave us the warmest welcome we have ever had at a VRBO with lots of information about what to do in Porto. Great location, easy walk into city centre and lots of places to eat and drink in the area. We would definitely return.

Amazing tranquility!
Jorge’s property is just perfect! Everything you need for a great stay. The patio area with coy ponds are so wonderful for a morning coffee. The kitchen is well equipped. The place is small but incredibly functional. Location is perfect- just a short walk to plenty of great restaurants. Easy 10-15 minute walk to historical Porto. Jorge was so helpful with directions and even restaurant reservations. We will return !

City oasis of quiet and beauty.
Host met us and showed us our lovely rental, and gave us great touring advice. The apartment is set in a tropical garden and well outfitted for a day Porto stay. Easy walking to most sites. Great for a couple.

Perfect for short stay in Porto
The Garden House is a compact space where everything you could need has been thought of. It was comfortable and convenient for 2 people, and is visually pleasing both inside and out, with a sitting area in the walled-in garden and Koi ponds. The accommodations were spotlessly clean, and convenient to walking the historic district of Porto, the metro, groceries and the river. Jorge was a perfect host and kindly provided a few extras and also recommendations for restaurants and things to do. Highly recommend!
