Hi! I'm Joana;)
I was born in Porto, and my passions are art, interior design and travels.
I founded Boutique Rentals – Charming Apartments which offers a curated collection of high-end apartments in Porto’s prime locations, such as Ribeira and Foz. The company emphasizes elegant interior design and personalized guest experiences.
Properties are housed in luxury buildings, combining modern amenities with traditional facades.
Each apartment features refined decoration by the interior design company Mundos Perdidos.
Fully equipped kitchens and high-quality linens from Portuguese companies.
Boutique Rentals – Charming Apartments includes concierge services as part of our upscale guest experience. Our concierge offering is a key part of our value proposition, emphasizing personalized and luxurious hospitality. Here’s what that typically includes:
Private Tours – Especially to the Douro Valley, wine estates, historic parts of Porto or transfers from Lisbon to Porto (or vice versa) with scenic stopovers in Óbidos, Nazaré, and Aveiro;
Restaurant Reservations – At high-end or local hidden gem dining spots;
Transportation – Airport transfers, car rentals, or even private drivers;
Custom Itineraries – Based on guest preferences (cultural, culinary, family-focused, etc.)
These services align with Boutique Rentals’ overall positioning: a curated, luxury short-term rental experience similar to boutique hotels, but with the privacy and comfort of an apartment.
