My stay in the Penthouse Apartment

The apartment was very pretty. It had everything you needed to enhance a perfect holiday. Safe neighborhood-short walk to ocean-parks-cafes-gourmet grocery and more. Most of all Ariana her kindness and wanting you to enjoy your stay as well letting you know she was all available for whatever my need’s maybe. I would highly recommend do to all of above!

Wow! amazing views over rooftops, park, river Douro and the Atlantic!

Such an interesting conversion at the top of a traditional tile-hung house on a little cobbled street. The light and bright bedroom upstairs has 5 windows, with views in all directions (but the blinds work fine). The landlady Ariana is so friendly and helpful and has a flair for design, mixing minimalist functionalism with antiques and traditional furniture and fittings. It is only a minute down to the 500 bus stop to get into central Porto in one direction, or out to the fish restaurants of Matosinhos in the other. But you can actually walk to a succession of Atlantic beaches in a few minutes. And there is also such a lovely park on the doorstep - it is also nice just to have a coffee or a fresh orange juice closer to home in the little café pavillion, just by the busstop.

Das Appartement ist wirklich sehr schön. Hochwertige Einrichtung, alter Holzboden, sehr gutes breites Bett, voll ausgestattete Küche (ohne Eierbecher ). Wissenmuss man, dass zum Schlafzimmer eine steile Treppe hinaufführt, man sollte daher auf jeden Fall trittsicher sein. Die Lage ist super, 5 min zum Strand, nach Porto geht man 1 h (am Douro entlang, sehr schöner Weg) oder fährt mit dem Bus (Haltestelle direkt vor der Haustür) oder mit dem Uber.Im Ort Foz gibt es alles, was man braucht (Cafés, Kneipen, Restaurants, Lebensmittelläden).Ariana ist eine sehr eloquente, nette und engagierte Vermieterin, sie hat uns tolle Insidertipps gegeben- danke nochmal dafür.Insgesamt sehr empfehlenswert!

Traumhaft

Wir waren schon zum zweiten Mal in Casa Bela und haben uns wieder sehr wohl gefühlt! Das Apartment ist wunderschön und sehr geschmackvoll mit allem was man braucht eingerichtet. Die Lage zum Park und zum Meer ist traumhaft und der Bus Richtung Porto fährt fast direkt vor der Tür. Die Kommunikation mit Ariana und Isabelle hat wie immer perfekt geklappt. Vielen Dank! Wir kommen gerne wieder.

About the host

Hosted by Ariana Magalhaes

Host profile image
I found early in my life that travelling and meeting new cultures is one of the best things one can do! During my travels around the world, I was able to see some of the most beautiful places on Earth, to learn fascinating angles of their history, and to taste amazing exotic foods. But in the end, it was always the human aspect of travelling that touched me the most. A simple welcoming smile, in the middle of nowhere, can bring the warmth and the cosiness of one's home. Human bonding overtakes any language barriers, and it is ultimately the single most rewarding life experience.
Hosting, in particular, is a subtle art that requires a heartful attitude and putting love in all the details. I feel privileged to introduce my culture to people from around the world while providing them an exclusive experience in Porto.
Enjoy your stay in Porto!

Why they chose this property

With a fabulous locale and stunning décor, the best of Porto's lifestyle is fully represented in this vacation jewel.
I look forward to hosting you in my dear hometown!

This apartment was tailored to make your stay in Porto an unforgettable one...

Take a romantic stroll in the 19th century Passeio Alegre park. Visit an exhibition at the Museum of Serralves and explore its wonderful gardens...
- COMFORT & COSYNESS: only by securing my guests' comfort I can make sure that their stay as much agreeable as possible. The interior décor were designed to create a warm and cosy atmosphere and there was also a clear focus in logistical terms in order to achieve this comfort and cosyness, despite the apartment being located in a century-old building (wide and comfy beds, 4 pillows per bed, hair dryer and free toiletries, etc).
