Select rooms open onto a balcony overlooking the Douro River or the historic Fonte Taurina street. The building, classified as a National Monument, offers rooms with river views, while all accommodations include bed linen and towels.

Dining & Breakfast

A continental, vegetarian, or vegan breakfast is prepared fresh each morning featuring locally sourced ingredients and fresh fruit from the Bolhรฃo market.

The breakfast experience is served in an intimate three-table dining room with personalized attention from staff.

Location & Nearby Attractions

The property is 200 meters from both Palacio da Bolsa and Ferreira Borges Market, and 400 meters from Luis I Bridge. Within a 15-minute walk guests reach Sรฃo Bento train station, Clรฉrigos Tower, and the cathedral district.

Services & On-Site Amenities

The hotel offers a range of massage services including couples massage, foot massage, full body massage, and head massage. A paid airport shuttle service is available to and from Francisco Sรก Carneiro Airport, 16 km away. Guests receive a complimentary glass of port wine upon arrival, and staff provide local recommendations for tours and dining.

Hotel Features & Building

The building is a renovated historic structure classified as a National Monument, located on the iconic Fonte Taurina street. The property has a lift (elevator) and is situated within a quiet pedestrian area despite being in the lively Ribeira district. All rooms are allergy-free and non-smoking, with daily housekeeping and luggage storage available.

Highlights

Location: National Monument street, 1 min from Ribeira Square

Breakfast: Fresh fruit from Bolhรฃo market with eggs to order

Welcome: Complimentary glass of port wine upon arrival

Services: Massage packages including couples and full body

Views: River-facing balconies on select rooms

โ€œThis guest house strikes a rare balance: the intimacy of a boutique hotel with the polish of a larger establishment. Its location on the Douro River places guests in the heart of Porto's cultural district, a prime spot steps away from major attractions. I particularly appreciate the reported attention to detail, especially the personalized breakfast, reflecting a clear commitment to a memorable stay.โ€
