About this property

Terrace Duplex in our Art Nouveau Townhouse

This comfortable and refined apartment is perfect for your holidays in Porto!
Upon arriving at the apartment from exploring the city, you will relax on the sunny terrace enjoying a Porto wine, against the background of the beautiful view of the “Duques” district with its tall trees.

The apartment is located in an Art Nouveau style building of Porto. Its restoration work is the result of our commitment to this family project.

On the entrance floor you will find a lounge where you can prepare your drink (we provide drinks to our guests), choose a book from the shelf in the hallway, listen to music, and breathe the atmosphere of the period, the typical atmosphere of a bourgeois house. of Porto from the turn of the 19th century to the 20th century
Via the elevator or stairs you go up to the apartment floor.

The apartment is very comfortable, bright and functional, even for longer stays.
The openly eclectic decor is punctuated by pieces from different periods and origins.
All these pieces are authentic and have been recovered.
This is the only way to achieve true sustainability of the planet and respect for nature.
All the old wood and beams in the house that had to be replaced were reused to make some furniture, namely the beds and headboards.

Among classic furniture, an antique chest of drawers, a 19th century Portuguese settee, and an antique Chinese chest, you will find Portuguese furniture from the 70s and the iconic chair that the Portuguese designer José Espinho designed in the 60s for Olaio.

The lighting is designed for you to enjoy great comfort. You will find different lamps from our collection, from the Hungarian wall lamps from a hotel in Budapest, to the Portuguese lamp from the 70s on the living room ceiling.

The "Duques" neighborhood is the ideal option for your stay, it is the coolest neighborhood, with soul and charisma in the center of Porto. The Faculty of Fine Arts of Porto is located there. Here you will find quality local shops, art galleries, excellent restaurants and vegan options if you wish.
It was considered the 4th coolest neighborhood in Europe in:
“10 of the coolest neighborhoods in Europe”. (February 8, 2020). "The Guardian"
Retrieved from: theguardian.com/travel/2020/feb/08/10-of-the-coolest-neighbourhoods-in-europe-paris-berlin-rome/
From these streets crowned with tall trees and beautiful facades from the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, you can reach the main points of interest in the center of Porto on foot.

Fresh fruit and port wine are offered for consumption upon arrival.

You won’t want to miss out on renting this place! It’s a 10. The host was fantastic. Manuela spent 45 minutes showing us the whole town and pointing out the best spots. The apartment was amazing, with such great attention to detail in its sparkling cleanliness. You can easily walk to everything. Porto is a wonderful town to explore.

This was the nicest Vrbo we have stayed in. The owner was amazing, he spent 20 minutes with a map explaining all the best restaurants, tourist sites, etc in the area after we checked in. He also showed us how everything worked. They provided wine, pastries, a giant bowl of fruit, coffee, teas, and biscuits in the room for us. I can’t say enough great things about the owners. The only negative I can say is only a personal thing, the bed upstairs was too firm for me but it didn’t matter as the rest of the place was beyond what we have experienced in a Vrbo. The decor, architecture, cleanliness, carpentry work- all superior. It is Close to many great restaurants and an easy walk to the touristy sections of town. We will be back and highly recommend it.

Thank you very much, it is very gratifying to know that we were able to provide you with a memorable stay. Regarding our mattresses, in your case it is really a very personal matter, because our mattress supplier is one of the best brands and equips some of the international 5-star hotel chains. It was a pleasure hosting you and we hope you return someday.

The house and host were both wonderful!Jorge greeted us upon our arrival (even accommodating an hour early), giving us a great overview of the local area and attractions. I appreciated how much time he spent and the conversation shared. There was delicious fresh fruit, several bottles of wine, and plenty of espresso and coffee.The location was perfect. Far enough from the touristy area, but very walkable. Would recommend the cafe nearby!The house was extremely clean, had all the amenities needed, and the terrace could not be beat. For those who like air conditioning and ice, both were available. Would easily stay here again and recommend to all!

Dream home in a wonderful neighborhood

One of the nicest vacation homes we’ve stayed in, this apartment in the Bonfin neighborhood was perfectly appointed, impeccably maintained, and felt like living in an aristocrat’s mansion. The hosts were amazing, extremely knowledgeable, obviously had high standards, and couldn’t be more cordial. We thoroughly enjoyed our week in the apartment. We highly recommend staying in this lovely building!

Lovely Porto apartment

I stayed here on a couples trip earlier this month and we all really enjoyed this apartment. It is a lovely apartment in a wonderful residential section of Porto. Jorge is a wonderful host and had great recommendations on where to go for food and site seeing. We greatly enjoyed a bar in the area he recommended and ended our nights there each night. The apartment is well equipped and quiet. Would definitely stay there again.

Thank you for your review, however so different from all the other that are all 5 stars... Normally our guests appreciate the comfort, the decoration, the location of the accommodation, the beautiful sunny terrace. We are sorry that the dryer in the laundry room shared by 3 studios was occupied when you decided to use it. But we think it's a huge injustice for you to penalize us for this, as all you had to do was tell us and the maids would take care of your laundry (as we have this free service) or direct you to another laundry room we have in the building. I therefore find your observation to be inelegant, inappropriate and meaningless to say the least.

Beautiful Art Nouveau Townhouse in great neighborhood!

Absolutely loved our stay, and the hospitality provided by our hosts Jorge and Manuela. Restaurants, grocery’s and transportation nearby. Uber is very reasonable, and good way to avoid the hills of Porto. Stayed a week, and just touched the tip of the iceberg. Weather was wonderful, and not the crowds of summer. Highly recommend our accommodation.

Hidden gem in out of tourist area

If I could give 10 stars I would!! This beautifully remodeled apartment was in an old beautiful tiled building from the 1930’s. They have a sitting parlor as you come in so we were able to leave our bags and relax, Manuela brought up a beautiful bowl of fruit and many bottles of wine and port. She went over our map and recommended several good restaurants. Best VRBO I have ever stayed in!!!
