Boutique family house by the sea - garage & garden
Time travel through this charming and unique example of a 19th century family house with luxurious details, which lays right in the center of the romantic neighborhood Foz do Douro. Expect expressive wooden paneling, original doors and windows, colorfully textured walls and splendid antiques. The house has three double bedrooms and a single bedroom, two gorgeous living rooms, a kitchen and dining room that open towards the back garden. All of these just steps away from the Atlantic Ocean.
The house rentals in a very quiet street steps away from the sea front and beach. It's very easy to park but the house has a garage for you. As you walk in you'll notice immediately the house's character. In the ground floor there is an office and a reading room, and after that you will get to the lightful dining room. Next door is the kitchen which serves the dining room. From both you can access to the back yard. The garden is a pleasant area full of greens where you can forget you're in the city. There is a barbecue available as well as outdoor furniture, great for enjoying your breakfasts outside. Upstairs there are four bedrooms, three double bedrooms and a single bedroom. There is also a charming bathroom, full of light and a balcony facing the garden. Down in the basement there is spacious living and game room, with a set of sofas, chess table, tv and an impressive pool table. You will have access to all the house except the 2nd floor where we keep our belongings.
Porto has a City Tax, which needs to be charged upon arrival. The tax is of 2 € per night and per person. Up to a maximum of 7 nights.

This home is a work of art . The amazing craftsmanship and beautiful detail is fascinating!
If you are looking for a residence in Porto that will transport you to a more elegant time you will be delighted to have found this treasure!
We were received with kindness.
And included in the hospitality there was Port , cookies, fruit, coffee and tea.
A delightful stay at a lovely home.
The incredible experience with this property began the moment it was booked. We received a message of welcome and confirmation of dates and arrival time along with inquiries of any special needs. When we arrived we were met with kindness and given a quick tour to ensure we could find everything within the property. The house itself is a view back in time to incredible craftsmanship and detail that now includes all the amenities of our time. The location is wonderful; walking distance to the ocean, shopping and restaurants that cater to anyone's desire. An wonderful place that made our stay one of a kind.

I stayed here for 2 nights with my family. The location is perfect. Walking distance to great cafes, bars, restaurants on the water. Very easily accessible to the city center. Great amenities. Helpful, kind and accommodating hosts!
Située idéalement près des plages de Matosinhos dans une rue tranquille, cette maison étonnante nous fait revivre au 19 ième siècle, elle ne ressemble à aucune villa habituellement proposée comme villégiature de bord de mer. Les chambres sont confortables et l'espace de vie est important ( salon, salle à manger, salon télé, salle de billard, jardinet) il permet à chacun de se sentir à son aise. Elle possède aussi un garage pour 2 voitures. La seule réserve concerne l'unique salle de bains qui pour 7 personnes demande un minimum d'organisation. Expérience unique et dépaysement total.

Merci pour votre commentaire.
Nous sommes très heureux que vous ayez apprécié.
Vous serez toujours bienvenues.
We had a very pleasant stay. The house is as you can see in the pictures, not an average holiday home. The furniture in the bedrooms is lovely and antique. As a consequence we found the bed a little uncomfortable to share. We were welcomed by Elói and he provided a lot of useful information about the neighbourhood, places to eat, things to visit etc. The house has a garage which is also nice. The kitchen is great, as is the dining room, the garden and the basement with the pooltable. The salon is a little dark and has a bit of a musty smell. It is a good location to visit Porto and the surroundings.
