Carmen and Joao treat you like a beloved long-lost family member, except maybe even better. Joao's breakfast fruit sculptures are incredible, and that's only 1 component of the lavish breakfast. Our room faced the alleyway, and it would have been nice to see the water, but we never felt deprived - the room itself was decorated beautifully, the bathroom had... More

Beautifully decorated and maintained by Carmen and Joao who offer a warm welcome right on the riverside in the heart of historic Porto. We stayed in two rooms, moving to a riverfront room from one overlooking the small alley at the front after one night. Both were immaculate and decorated to a very high standard. Be aware that neither room... More

The bubbly personalities of the hosts adds to the pleasure of staying here. They also remember and call you... More

I chose this place to stay at because of all the wonderful reviews from Trip Advisor. I did not regret it one bit. We arrived at 11pm and Carmen welcomed us with open arms. She even made sure we had a nice dinner and waited for us to come back. In the morning, Joao was waiting downstairs with an amazing... More
