About this property

VICTORIA - ELEGANT AND SPACIOUS ART DECO APARTMENT

This is the perfect apartment for those who like to relax at the end of the day, after exploring the city, drinking a Port wine in this refined and warm atmosphere, punctuated with vintage pieces from the first decades of the 20th century!
The great comfort of the apartment is guaranteed by the air conditioning and the excellent insulation and soundproofing, and also from the velvet and silk fabrics, and delicate sheets on the beds.

The apartment, in a traditional building from the 1940s, has just been completely restored. Its location is perfect for exploring the city of Porto on foot!

The kitchen is equipped with ceramic hob, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, oven, grill, espresso machine, kettle, etc., and washing machine and vacuum cleaner. Also available two LCD TVs and Wi-Fi connection.

It has two full bathrooms, and the details of the bedrooms are:

1 - the purple bedroom, very cozy, from wich the only opening is a large sliding glass door onto the bright entrance hall of the small balcony, and with thick curtains to cut the light.
The imposing rosewood bed from the first decade of the 19th century is in the traditional Portuguese style Dona Maria, and has a comfortable mattress of 1.40 x 2.00

2 - the green bedroom has a king-size bed (1.80 x 2.00) and mattress of the highest quality which can be separated into two single beds. There are blinds and curtains for total darkness.

3 - the red bedroom, warm and welcoming, with a sofa bed that opens and turns into a comfortable double bed of 1.40 x 2.00 , and also with thick blinds and curtains for total darkness.
To enter into the green bedroom you pass through the red bedroom, therefore, for an occupancy of up to 4 people, the green bedroom works like a large suite with antechamber and private bathroom

The apartment has two entrances. By the main entrance, the apartment is on the second floor,
without elevator, but with very comfortable stairs.
By the other entrance, access is through the gate below to the street and the comfortable outdoor stairs to the balcony.

The apartment includes free parking in a garage 50 meters from the building

Fresh fruit and Porto wine are offered for consumption on arrival free.

CLEANING AND DISINFECTION OF THE APARTMENT ARE SUBJECT TO A RIGOROUS CHECK BEFORE YOUR ARRIVAL to guarantee you maximum comfort and safety.
Environmentally friendly cleaning and disinfection products are used.
THE 5-STAR OPINIONS THROUGHOUT THESE YEARS GIVE YOU THE GUARANTEE THAT IT IS A PRIORITY FOR US!

Thank you so much, Moni. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we're glad you enjoyed the apartment, its comfort, decor, and its excellent central location! Yes, this area is home to some of Porto's best restaurants, from the most traditional to some Michelin-starred, like Euskalduna, which is a two-minute walk from the apartment!

Host was extremely welcoming, met us at the parking garage and walked us to the apartment. Once there, he spent an hour talking to us about Porto and gave dozens of recommendations on what to see, where to eat and how to get there. Additionally he provided a basket of fruit, some wine, port and spirits. Couldn't ask for better hospitality!

Could not have been happier with this apartment. It is very big, and well decorated to the smallest of details. The location is great and very central. The host, Jorge, was extremely gracious and communicative. They left us wine, liquor, beer, fruit and spent a solid 10-15 minutes with us at arrival to mark up a map of “must see” and “must dine” places. All great recommendations. By far, the best experience I have had on VRBO.

We were looking forward to this location from the VRBO listing but I can tell you it did not disappoint. Every detail was attended to. The furnishings, the decor and the design was fabulous. Our host Manuela went beyond expectations to explain to us all that Porto had to offer. If we are back in Porto we will absolutely stay here again.

Thank you very much, we are delighted to have been able to provide you with a wonderful stay! This listing also includes a detailed description of the apartment, mentioning that it is located on the second floor, with no elevator. Non-European travelers should inform themselves upon arrival in Europe about minor European cultural/nomenclature differences, particularly the meaning of "second floor" in Europe. Thank you also for appreciating the rarity of a closed garage parking lot in the center of a European city, just a few minutes' walk from the property.

This was the very best home we've ever stayed in. There were more welcome amenities than usual (plenty of paper towels, even Kleenex, cotton swabs, snacks and drinks - wow!), making the entire stay feel luxurious, and almost like family. Manuela welcomed us personally with a detailed tour (very helpful), including a map and suggestions for local stops. She went above and beyond in every way. We highly recommend, and would stay at any of the properties of these owners. Thank you for your extra efforts, they were noticed and appreciated.

Beautiful property close to a town square, with restaurants and groceries just steps away. Awaiting us when we came in out of a downpour was a bottle of wine, a bowl full of fruit, and hugs all around, followed by detailed suggestions by the host. The large apartment easily accommodated two couples.

One of the best VRBO’s in 20 years

I’ve been renting VRBOs for over 20 years and this was the best supplied I’d ever encountered. There was every possible essential needed for our 12 day stay. We found it a perfect location from which to enjoy all of Porto. Manuela was an extremely supportive host. The check in was thorough, warm and friendly with lots of information to support a good understanding of Porto. We highly, highly recommend!!
