About this property

Alice Apartment in our Art Nouveau Townhouse

This comfortable and elegant apartment is perfect for your holidays in Porto!

The Alice apartment was considered as one the chicest spots to stay in Portugal's historic wine region, described as “an Art Noveau townhouse filled with antiques” in the article “The best Airbnbs in Porto”, published by the well know luxury and lifestyle travel Condé Nast’s magazine CNTraveller (4 September 2023)

Upon arriving at the apartment from exploring the city, you will relax enjoying a Porto wine against the background of the beautiful view of the “Duques” district with its tall trees.

The Alice apartment is located in an Art Nouveau style building of Porto. The house's restoration work is the result of our commitment to this family project.

On the entrance floor you will find a lounge where you can prepare your drink (we provide drinks to our guests), choose a book from the shelf in the hallway, listen to music, and breathe the atmosphere of the period, the typical atmosphere of a bourgeois house. of Porto from the turn of the 19th century to the 20th century
Via the elevator or stairs you go up to the apartment floor.

The apartment is very comfortable, bright and functional, even for longer stays.
The environment conveys authenticity and refinement

The openly eclectic decor is punctuated by pieces from different periods and origins.
All these pieces are authentic and have been recovered.
This is the only way to achieve true sustainability of the planet and respect for nature.
All the old wood and beams in the house that had to be replaced were reused to make some furniture, namely the beds and headboards.

On the walls are some works by European artists: Vitor Fortes, Antoni Rossi Guel, Johannes Miedema and António Maria
The lighting is designed for you to enjoy great comfort. You will find several lamps from our collection, from classic oil ceiling lamp in the entrance, adapted to electricity, and crystal chandeliers, to the 70's lamps such as the Dijkstra wall lamp, the Peter Nelson table lamp and the Palm Lamp by Massive.

The "Duques" neighborhood is the ideal option for your stay, it is the coolest neighborhood, with soul and charisma in the center of Porto. The Faculty of Fine Arts of Porto is located there. Here you will find quality local shops, art galleries, excellent restaurants and vegan options if you wish.
It was considered the 4th coolest neighborhood in Europe in:
“10 of the coolest neighborhoods in Europe”. (February 8, 2020). "The Guardian"

From these streets crowned with tall trees and beautiful facades from the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, you can reach the main points of interest in the center of Porto on foot.

Fresh fruit and port wine are offered for consumption upon arrival.

This is a quiet, hidden gem. It surpassed our expectations and was the highlight of our stay in Porto. Jorge and Manuela are delightful hosts. Thank you Jorge for taking the time upon arrival to orient us to the area (walking distance to major historical places) and the good restaurant recommendations, which we enjoyed. For those who enjoy good architecture and exquisite finishes you will not be disappointed with the renovation that they have done to this house and to the Alice apartment. We unreservedly recommend this place .

5 star review!
5 star review! The apartment is in an excellent location, quiet, clean, and very well organized. Fully stocked kitchen and bathroom..nothing overlooked. The pictures on the site although beautiful do not come close to showing how fabulous the apartment is in person. What more could a guest want. Already making plans for our next extended stay. Thank you for making our first visit to Porto and Portugal memorable.

Stunningly Gorgeous Flat in Quiet Convenient Neighborhood!
We absolutely adored the Alice Apartment, Jorge himself, and the neighborhood this absolutely stunningly gorgeously tiled art nouveau building work of art (I'm obsessed with architecture & design). Jorge met us personally at the building--it's also stunning from the outside. Every inch of the building and flat ooze meticulously restored detail and we were in awe. Jorge guided us into the opulent foyer and up the reclaimed stairs to our romantic flat. Every single detail has been considered and if you enjoy historic luxury, this is the place for you. Jorge left us a couple bottles of wine, there are three different port wines for you to try in the foyer as well. The antiques, the original oil painting, the heart of pine floors, the gorgeous windows, super comfortable beds, views, great water pressure, and spacious living quarters made this the only place we would ever stay in Porto. If we could, we'd give it 10 stars. The neighborhood was also perfect--quiet and non touristy with some great antique shoppes for treasure seekers, close walk to great food and the historic district and we loved the dinner down the street for a great omelet and fresh squeezed oj. Jorge and I hit it off--we both appreciate the same historic details. He's the absolute best and so is his passion project. Book this now--you will not regret it!

Beautiful house in great location
The aesthetics of this property are simply beautiful from the minute you walk into the downstairs lobby to entering the unit itself. The apartment is spacious with a living room, a study/dining room with a kitchen on the other side of the study. The bedroom is separate. There are two bathrooms (shower is separate in the master bath). There are steep stairs to climb but thankfully there is also an elevator. WiFi is great and I had no issues working. Area is just outside the hustle and bustle and quiet at night and even during the day. A/C was great on the warm nights. Welcome was best with fruits and port wine in our unit. Would definitely stay here again.
