About this property

Garden of Camellias ★ Charming house near beach (4 bedrooms)

If you're looking for an authentic experience in Porto, this is the right place to stay! This stylish and cosy house offers the perfect escape from downtown's hustle and bustle...
The Garden of Camellias is located in a small typical and picturesque walking street of cobblestone in the romantic neighbourhood of Foz, a classified heritage site. It is just a few steps away from the beach, the river and the Passeio Alegre Park and it takes only around 15 minutes to get to the city centre by public transportation.
This charming three-storey house was beautifully renovated in 2017 by the architect Pedro Jervell. The design is very fresh, clean and airy. While the fine steel craftsmanship adds a cool vintage industrial vibe to the interiors, the subtle lighting and the beautiful wood-paneled walls gently bring a feeling of warmth and comfort. There is a sense uniqueness and cosiness, a tranquil atmosphere that feels like home...
The luminous and spacious living and dining area is an expression of timeless elegance, showcasing a refined eclectic décor on a off-white palette enhanced with ocean blue accents. Different layers of textures and materials are blissfully blended with the white cement floor and walls as well as with the beamed attic ceiling cropped by big skylights. There is also a fully equipped kitchen and a bathroom on the top floor.
All the four bedrooms were individually decorated. Each one of them features a large comfortable wide bed, well-appointed furnishings and an en-suite bathroom, ensuring high quality and great comfort standards. The two bedrooms that are on the groundfloor overlooking the quiet charming street feature rich leather armchairs against an uplifting background that mixes earth-toned and nature-inspired elements. The bedrooms on the first floor are more spacious and display sophisticated contemporary furniture. Natural light is enhanced by using chic metal accents, mirrors and glass that nicely standout from the neutral color scheme of the rooms.
Guests can also take some time to relax and unwind to the sound of birds singing in the idyllic backyard. The old cobblestone pathway flanked by aromatic shrubs and graceful rosetrees leads to this quiet retreat's centerpiece, the old well behind which camellias trees align. At the end of the backyard there is a nice sundeck with restful lounge chairs.
The use of the garden is exclusive for the guests that are staying both at the house and at the apartments of the Garden of Camellias.
Linen, towels, toiletries, and daily cleaning service are included in the standard rate. There is free high-speed wifi in all the property.
The Garden of Camellias is just a few steps away from the Casa Bela apartments, which can be rented along with the house for larger groups.

About the host

Hosted by Ariana Magalhaes

Host profile image
I found early in my life that travelling and meeting new cultures is one of the best things one can do! During my travels around the world, I was able to see some of the most beautiful places on Earth, to learn fascinating angles of their history, and to taste amazing exotic foods. But in the end, it was always the human aspect of travelling that touched me the most. A simple welcoming smile, in the middle of nowhere, can bring the warmth and the cosiness of one's home. Human bonding overtakes any language barriers, and it is ultimately the single most rewarding life experience.
Hosting, in particular, is a subtle art that requires a heartful attitude and putting love in all the details. I feel privileged to be hosting you in my hometown, and I do hope that you can appreciate the charm and tranquility of my apartments.
Enjoy your stay in Porto!

What makes this property unique

The Garden of Camellias was tailored to make your stay in Porto an unforgettable one...
- QUALITY: I strongly believe that this is the backbone of this project as it applies to all aspects of it: from the contact with guests to the cleaning services; from the construction materials and the furnishings to the online contents advertising the property.
- LOCATION: You'll fall in love with this place, away from the crowds but not far from the Porto's city centre! The location can hardly be better as the Garden of Camellias is set in the charming and quiet residential neighbourhood of Foz. The beach and the river are within spitting distance (2 min. walking) and the historical city centre (just 15-20 min. away). Enjoy one of the great restaurants in the neighbourhood. Wander in the intricate cobblestone streets with small town flavour. Jog or bike along the scenic waterfront. Have a swim or head for a surfing adventure in the beach. Take a romantic stroll in the 19th century Passeio Alegre park. Visit an exhibition at the Museum of Serralves and explore its wonderful gardens...
- COMFORT & COSYNESS: only by securing my guests' comfort I can make sure that their stay as much agreeable as possible. Thus, not only the architecture and interior décor were designed to create a warm and cosy atmosphere, there was also a clear focus in logistical terms in order to achieve this goal (wide and comfy beds, 4 pillows per bed, there is an ensuite bathroom in each bedroom, hair dryer and free toiletries, etc).
- AESTHETICAL: this dwelling is a homage to beauty and design. The interiors display unique artistic architectural features decorated with elegance and sophistication
- THE BACKYARD: this lovely and quiet place is perfect to relax and sunbathe and it is exclusive for my guests' use only;
- SUITABLE FOR LARGE GROUPS: The Garden of Camellias is just a few steps away from the Casa Bela apartments, which can be rented along with the house for groups up to 20 people.
