Casa Carolina - Historic Scholar's Residence with Garden and Juliet Balconies in Cedofeita

Located on the decoratively cobbled Rua de Cedofeita, this 3-star Porto hotel occupies the former residence of Carolina Michaelis, Portugal's first female professor at the University of Coimbra. The eight-room Casa Carolina features floor-to-ceiling glass doors with Juliet balconies and a wooden staircase spiraling up the building's center. A spacious ground-floor lounge offers complimentary tea and coffee, while the sunny back garden provides bench seating. The top-floor luxury suite includes a fully equipped kitchen, and all rooms feature free WiFi and varying layouts. The property serves continental breakfast with fresh bread, seasonal fruits, cherry tomatoes, and local conserves in the lower floor dining area. Key attractions including Clerigos Tower (0.5 miles), Porto Cathedral (1 mile), and Soares dos Reis National Museum (0.5 miles) surround the property, with multiple dining options within 0.3 miles.

Pros

Historic significance: Monarchs and scholars visited in the early 1900s

Free amenities include bicycle rentals, parking, and property-wide WiFi

Traditional Portuguese design with characteristic skylight

Complimentary continental breakfast featuring local products

Cons

Limited toiletries (liquid soap only provided)

“This renovated townhouse offers a distinctive stay in Porto's cultural district, blending historical charm with a boutique feel. I appreciate its location on a pedestrian-friendly street near major attractions, and while the absence of a lift might be a drawback for some, the spacious rooms and personalized service make it a worthwhile choice. The complimentary breakfast and relaxing garden add to its appeal.”
