Description from owner

Description

This is the perfect home for those who like to relax at the end of the day, after exploring the city, drinking a Porto wine in the beautiful and exotic tropical garden!

The whole house opens on glass over the garden and the two small fish ponds, which is very pleasant even at night, as the garden is lit and heated on cold nights!

CLEANING AND DISINFECTION OF THE HOUSE IS SUBJECT TO A RIGOROUS CHECK BEFORE YOUR ARRIVAL to guarantee you maximum comfort and safety. Environmentally friendly cleaning and disinfection products are used.

THE 5 STAR REVIEWS THROUGH THESE YEARS GIVE YOU THE GUARANTEE THAT THIS IS A PRIORITY FOR US

The configuration of the house, with direct access to the street, avoids contact in common areas, as it happens in other accommodations like hotels and apartments.

With an excellent location in the heart of Porto, set in the lush and exotic garden of a typical house of Porto from the end of the 19th century, this house allows you to enjoy a relaxing and refined atmosphere in the heart of the city.

The house consists of glazed spaces over the garden, with living room, bedroom with a comfortable double bed, kitchenette and bathroom, that through three sliding panels allows you to isolate the area of the livingroom where is the sofa bed for two persons (1, 45 x 2.05), making this space a second room independent of the dining area.

The silence and tranquility of these spaces are guaranteed by double glazing.

The kitchen is fully equipped, including vitro-ceramic hob, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, oven, grill, espresso machine, coffee machine, kettle, etc. And in the house there is also a washing machine and a vacuum cleaner, 26 ”LCD television and Wi-Fi connection.

We offer fresh fruits and Porto wine for consumption on arrival free.

On the floor above the house there is an ample glazing made of glass brick from the garage, which is for your exclusive use if you come by car!

Getting around

According an article published in The Guardian (Feb 8, 2020), entitled "10 of the coolest neighbourhoods in Europe", “There are must-sees, of course, but to really get under the skin of Europe’s great cities go for our pick of less-touristy districts”. The neighbourhood of Bonfim, Porto, is the fourth coolest neighbourhood in Europe, according to The Guardian (Feb 8, 2020). “With city-centre rents skyrocketing, this once-bourgeois enclave is fast finding favour with a young, creative crowd.” (…) “handy for primary exit routes: Porto’s main bus terminal and train station are on the doorstep and there’s a metro line to the airport.” “See and do: There are no malls in Bonfim, but plenty of cool independent stores, mostly on Santo Ildefonso

Interaction with guest

We live at next door and ready to give any advise about the city atractions, cultural events, visits etc., you might want. We have created conditions to make you feel happy in a relaxing garden paced by the noise of small dots of falling water and birdsong. The house is totaly independent and you will have all the privacy you need. You have access to different small areas which constitute the shared garden. We have fresh fruits and Porto wine for consumption on arrival free.
