This is a really special place and a great spot to explore Porto ! This looked nice in the pictures but this is actually great in reality. The owners are architects and made the main building their home and studio, while the house in the back of the garden has been turned into a holiday rental. It's basically like having a mini-home in the city, with its own garden. It's quiet and green and completely dreamy. You can hear the seagulls ! Inside, every detail is thoughtful, humble yet stylish, from the bed light to the little pot you put the sponge in. Tourists sites are close, but far enough so the neighborhood isn't overrun with crowds, and being slightly on the outside make it easier to reach the seaside (at least with a car).
