Room Guides

Ribeira

Elegant, spacious and urban — the soul of old Porto

The deep blue of the Douro at dusk. The largest of the three rooms — room to breathe, and room to work without rushing.

For your comfort
  • A bed dressed with two pillows — one higher, one lower — so you sleep the way that suits you.
  • A fan, and windows that open wide to air and cool the room (there is no air conditioning, but Porto comes in nicely).
  • A mini fridge for whatever you would like to keep close.
For working
  • A proper office chair — not a dining chair pretending to be one.
  • A wide shelf built into the wall that doubles as a desk — made for remote work and longer stays.
Light, sound & screen
  • Two RGB LED lamps plus an LED strip behind the TV, all remote-controlled — set the colour and the mood you feel like tonight.
  • A TV with an Android player: Netflix, HBO Max, Prime Video, Disney+ with your own accounts — just remember to log out before check-out.
Storage & details
  • Generous storage plus a clothes rail, with plenty of room for your suitcase.
  • Two framed prints of the Ribeira, chosen with this room in mind.
  • Sockets with USB-A and USB-C, and a full-length mirror.

We prepared this room down to the smallest detail, so you would rest better. If anything is not the way you hoped, tell us now — we would rather put it right during your stay than after it.

💡 Before leaving: switch off all lights · close all windows · turn off all appliances

Douro

Warm, golden and wonderfully cosy — like a Porto sunset

The warm gold of a late afternoon over the Douro. The cosiest room — made for slowing down and sleeping well.

For your comfort
  • A bed dressed with two pillows — one higher, one lower — pick the one you sleep best on.
  • A fan, and windows that open to air and cool the room (no air conditioning, but it freshens up well).
  • A mini fridge for your personal use.
For resting
  • No desk here, and that is on purpose — Douro is the room to switch off, not to work.
  • Warm light, calm air and a soft golden tone, made for the end of the day.
Light, sound & screen
  • Two RGB LED lamps plus an LED strip behind the TV, all remote-controlled.
  • A TV with an Android player: Netflix, HBO Max, Prime Video, Disney+ with your own accounts — please log out before check-out.
A little Douro detail: the lamp has three light temperatures — amber, white and a mix of the two. Each time you switch it on, it changes. Try turning it on and off a few times and keep the one that feels right.
Storage & details
  • A dedicated storage area and a clothes rail.
  • Two framed prints on the room's theme, sockets with USB-A and USB-C, and a mirror.

We prepared this room down to the smallest detail, so you would rest better. If anything is not the way you hoped, tell us now — we would rather put it right during your stay than after it.

💡 Before leaving: switch off all lights · close all windows · turn off all appliances

Atlântico

Light, peaceful and airy — your coastal retreat in the city

The light blue of the ocean on a clear morning. Airy, bright and serene — for waking up slowly.

For your comfort
  • A bed dressed with two pillows — one higher, one lower — choose what suits you.
  • A fan, and windows that open and air the room beautifully (no air conditioning, but it cools well).
  • A mini fridge for your personal use.
For working
  • An office chair and a small work table — enough to answer a few emails with a calm view.
Light, sound & screen
  • Two RGB LED lamps plus an LED strip behind the TV, all remote-controlled.
  • A TV with an Android player: Netflix, HBO Max, Prime Video, Disney+ with your own accounts — please log out before check-out.
  • Good to know: to change only the lamp colour without affecting the TV, switch the TV off first, then point the LED remote straight at the lamp.
Storage & details
  • A clothes rail for hanging your things.
  • A framed print on the room's theme, sockets with USB-A and USB-C, and a mirror.

We prepared this room down to the smallest detail, so you would rest better. If anything is not the way you hoped, tell us now — we would rather put it right during your stay than after it.

Get to Know Porto

Beyond the postcards — the places that make us love living here

Porto isn't a city you tick off a list. It rewards the wanderers — the ones who turn down the narrow street, who sit on the steps a while, who order the thing they can't pronounce. Here are the places we'd send a friend to: a few that everyone knows, and a few that most visitors walk straight past.

Tap a pin to open the place and get directions.

Porto off the beaten path

Wondersense museum Porto
🌀 Different $$$$$

Wondersense — the museum of the five senses

A few steps from Livraria Lello, five floors of rooms built to be tasted, heard, touched and smelled. Sixteen experiences, no two alike — the kind of hour that makes adults forget to check their phones. Book a time slot ahead.

Go →
Capela Incomum wine bar Porto
🍷 Curious $$$$$

Capela Incomum — wine in a chapel

A small wine bar inside a former chapel — the altar is still there. Low light, a quiet glass of Douro red, and the strange, lovely feeling of a toast under a vaulted ceiling. Not somewhere you stumble into by accident.

Go →
Jardim das Virtudes Porto
🌳 Sunset FREE

Passeio das Virtudes — the local sunset

While everyone crowds Jardim do Morro across the river, locals come here: a garden that tumbles down the hillside in terraces, with the largest ginkgo tree in Portugal and an open view over the Douro. Bring something to drink and stay for the colour of the sky.

Go →
Escadas dos Guindais Porto
🌉 View FREE

Escadas dos Guindais — under the bridge

A steep, narrow staircase that drops down the cliff right beneath the Dom Luís I Bridge. You've seen the bridge in every postcard — here you stand under its iron belly, close enough to hear it. Take it slow on the way down.

Go →
Capela das Almas Porto azulejos
🔵 Azulejos FREE

Capela das Almas — a chapel of blue tiles

On busy Rua de Santa Catarina, stop and look up: sixteen thousand blue azulejos wrap the whole outside of this chapel like a story told on the wall. Most people walk past it on the way to the shops. Don't.

Go →
Centro Português de Fotografia Porto
📷 Free FREE

Centro Português de Fotografia — the old prison

A photography museum housed in a 19th-century prison — you can still see the cell doors and the iron walkways. Free to enter, rarely crowded, and quietly one of the most atmospheric buildings in the city.

Go →

The classics, taken slowly

Livraria Lello Porto bookshop
📚 Classic $$$$$

Livraria Lello — go early

Yes, it's famous, and yes, there's a queue. Worth it — but buy the timed ticket online and go right at opening or in the last hour, when the carved staircase is almost yours. The ticket price comes off a book.

Go →
Ponte Dom Luís I and Jardim do Morro Porto
🌅 Must-see FREE

Cross the bridge on the top deck

Walk the upper deck of the Dom Luís I Bridge — the metro shares it, but there's room, and the view stops you mid-step. On the Gaia side, Jardim do Morro is the postcard sunset. Go — just go early to find a spot.

Go →
Ribeira Porto waterfront
🏛️ The heart FREE

Get lost in the Ribeira

The oldest part of Porto, right on the water — tilting houses, laundry strung between windows, alleys that lead nowhere and everywhere. Touristy, yes. Still the soul of the city. Go in the morning, before the boats fill up.

Go →
Port wine cellars Vila Nova de Gaia
🍷 Taste $$$$$

Cross to Gaia for a port tasting

The port wine cellars line the Gaia bank, ten minutes' walk over the bridge. Pick one of the smaller houses for an unhurried tasting — they'll explain the difference between a tawny and a ruby, and you'll never forget it.

Go →

Porto after dark

🌙 Nightlife $$$

Galerias de Paris — Porto after midnight

One of the best-known nightlife streets in the city centre: bars, music and people moving between venues, especially on Friday and Saturday nights.

Go →
🍻 Local bars $$$

Cordoaria — drinks around the garden

A relaxed night-out area around Cordoaria and Campo dos Mártires da Pátria, with inexpensive bars and terraces such as Adega Leonor nearby.

Go →

Where to eat

Conga Casa das Bifanas Porto
🥪 Cheap eats $$$$$

Conga — the legendary bifana

A tiny, no-frills institution since 1976. The bifana — slow-cooked pork in a soft roll — is one of the cheapest great meals in Porto.

Go →
Capa Negra II Porto
🍽️ Near & traditional $$$$$

Capa Negra II — dinner near your door

A reliable, busy local restaurant a short walk from the apartment. Grilled meats, fish, and a serious francesinha.

Go →
Tapabento restaurant Porto
🍷 Mid-range gem $$$$$

Tapabento — small place, big reputation

Modern Portuguese cooking and petiscos done with real care. Small, warm, and consistently excellent.

Go →
Antiqvvm restaurant Porto
✨ Special occasion $$$$$

Antiqvvm — a Michelin-starred evening

Fine-dining Portuguese cuisine in a romantic 19th-century house with a Douro view. A genuine occasion.

    Before You Leave

    A short list, a small ask, and a thank you.

    A small checklist for the room

    • Switch off all the lights and the LED lamps.
    • Wait a few seconds and make sure the toilet flush has stopped.
    • Log out of Netflix, HBO Max, Prime Video and Disney+ on the TV — your accounts, your privacy.
    • Turn off the fan, the TV and the mini fridge if you used it.
    • Leave the key as we agreed.
