During the warm welcome of our caretaker, we learned we were the first guests ever in this fully renovated 1870 heritage property. And it shows: the love and care of the owners is visible in the smallest details; from the stuffed animals to the Venetian mask. While original details like the painted ceiling are carefully preserved, the renovation has also incorporated all modern comfort.
The streets are quiet at the heart of the gentrified Bonfin residential area,ensuring a good sleep in the new and comfortable beds.
But it’s never boring: within 5 minutes you are at a square bustling with authentic cafe’s and restaurants, patronized by students at the nearby liberal arts college.
Caretaker Elói, an architect by training, welcomed us like long lost family, freely sharing his passion for heritage homes.
Porto is a great place to visit anyhow, but the privilege of staying at this great home made all the difference!
