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.

Excellent location and host

Host was incredibly helpful and made our stay pleasant and comfortable as possible. The host sat with us and mapped out the city, sites, restaurants, set up drivers for us and even had a nice welcoming of local wine and food for us. We greatly appreciated their attention to detail which made our stay that much more memorable!

Charming apartment!

From the moment we stepped foot on this property we felt cared for. Up and beyond the usual stay! Jorge explained the details of the beautifully renovated apartment so we knew how to use everything and he also introduced us to many restaurants in the neighborhood. We went to three of them and they were great. Highly recommend this place!

Stunning Apartment, Great Location!

Just as advertised! Lovely location, close to tourist attractions but a nice, quiet neighborhood. The apartment was perfect in every way for four adults. Manuela and Jorge provided an extensive amount of amenities from a large fruit basket to local wine and port. The common area was a nice stop after a long day of sightseeing. We will be back for sure!

Week in Porto

This property was perfect for our stay in Porto. It was an easy Uber ride to the river district. There are several restaurants in the local area and a small grocery that met our needs (all within walking distance). The only negative we experienced was our car was blocked in the parking garage a couple of times and resulted in us having to change our plans for the day. The hosts were pretty responsive BUT do stress they do not offer consierge services. Port, wine, fruit, and pastries are available as part of the stay.

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!

A perfect retreat during our 3 nights in Porto.

Walking distance to everything. All four of us would highly recommend this property.

This is easily one of the best VRBOs we’ve stayed in. Everything is just as presented in the listing, very clean, beautifully decorated and well stocked with every convenience provided. Even beautiful dishes! Wish we could have stayed longer. The hosts were so helpful and friendly! The neighborhood is quiet but with restaurants and bakery and grocery nearby. The walk to the old section is easy.

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.

Best VRBO in Europe

We had a fabulous stay in this beautiful big apartment. The owners provided us with every possible resource for our stay, and even did laundry for free. We sat down with them for an hour and learned the history of the building (built in 1911) including their history of purchase, and the 7- year renovation project by the architect owner. I can't recommend this properly more highly. It is superb!

Pleasure in Porto

What a beautiful apartment Jorge has created, with amazing furnishings and features, such as the corner balcony with lovely vista. And what a lovely hostess Manuela is! We felt fully attended to and cared for by her the minute we arrived, including wonderful suggestions on sites, directions and restaurant options. Manuela was available to assist with every matter, big or small, urgent or not - could not ask for more from a host! Highly recommend both the delightful property and lovely people who will host you.

A lovely stay in Porto!

The apartment is lovely and exactly as we had hoped. No details are missed by the hosts, including fresh fruit, coffee, Port wine, sparkling wine, toiletries, everything you could need. Our host, Manuela, spent time with us upon arrival showing us all the highlights on the map as well as some special local restaurants that were fabulous. The apartment is well located, in a quieter neighbourhood, just a short walk to the city centre. We also enjoyed downtime on the balcony, sipping wine and relaxing. We truly enjoyed our stay and would recommend without hesitation.

5 Weeks of total enjoyment and comfort.

We booked this apartment based on the write up and upon arrival it was exactly as described. The area had a butcher, bakery and local grocery store within a 4 minute walk and a larger grocery store a 15 minute walk away. We took several day trips as well we did a 3 day trip to Lisbon by train. The owners of the apartment were fantastic and anticipated our needs due to an early arrival. Should we choose to return to Porto this is the only place we would stay. Thank you Manuela and Jorge

Amazing Property

This was one of my all time favorite properties. The location was perfect, walkable to everything but right outside so you had some quiet. We hung out on the balcony every night. The upstairs bedroom/spare living room was perfect for 2 couples, we felt like we had our own space. The space had everything needed, fresh fruit, wine, a few beers in the fridge. I couldn’t say enough great things about this place. Don’t think twice and book it, you won’t regret it!!

Beautiful Apartment Setup

I really enjoy this property it was well equipped for 4 guests. We had 2 young adults with us and the upstairs bedroom was perfect for them. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for cooking breakfast. Having access to the patio outside was a plus, we enjoyed sitting outside and having some port and wine. The place did have a washer and dryer which came in handy. We enjoyed the welcome special in the parlor a common area which had some nice treats and port wine. I would recommend this apartment it was very very nice. We enjoyed our stay.

We would highly recommend staying here!

There was a lovely fruit basket, wine in the fridge and also some local port to try. The apartment had everything we required for our 8 day stay. I can’t think of anything they missed. The locations is perfect, you are able to walk everywhere. Thank you so much for everything, I will be recommending your apartment to our friends and family and if we ever make it back to Porto we will definitely be contacting you!

Sun on the threshold and rain in the fields.

Sometimes you can have it all. This flat was wonderful with enough space to have some privacy and cozy at the same time. The balcony was a real bonus. The owners were very accommodating and there was none of the non-sense with "guest chores". The kitchen was fully stocked, and they thoughtfully provided a giant bowl of mixed fruits which we thoroughly enjoyed. The best part of this rental was location, location, location. This flat is in a quiet neighborhood so if you get too much sun or sangria you can easily nap. It is close to many restaurants and markets. Plus, many tourist sites are within a 10–20 minute walk. The metro, cable car, and river are equally close. The owners helped us arrange our airport transfers to and from the rental. We enjoyed our time in Porto very much and the thoughtful touches of the rental helped us unwind.

Perfect in every way

Great location in a quiet neighborhood. Good space for two couples traveling together--each couple had privacy and their own bathroom, yet there was a good living room/kitchen/dining space where we could hang out together. The second bed/bath was up a narrow staircase that was difficult to haul up any larger suitcases but otherwise a nice space. The apartment had everything we needed except for our own food but there was a great fruit bowl available upon arrival that lasted us for a few days. Walking distance to groceries, coffee, restaurants, bars, sights, and a short Uber ride to everything else. There is a washer in the apartment but the dryer is downstairs and shared by other renters (5 total units in the building all operated by the same people). We did have to fight for dryer time and it took awhile to get things dried. Overall a great stay! We would definitely stay here again when in Porto!
