lovely building, great staff, very good breakfast

Karen United States of America

The bed and towels were snow white and soft. An amazing house with high ceilings renovated for comfort with a lovely garden. Home away from home. Most importantly it was Martha and her smile, her delicious breakfast and excellent tips where to eat and visit.

Selva United States of America

We liked the very personal attention of Filipa and Martha. They go all the way to help and make sure you are comfortable. The house is nicely furnished. WiFi is excellent and cleanliness as well. Breakfast is also very good and well priced.

Eduardo United States of America

Marta and her staff are great. Marta actually highlights the map with where to walk and the sights as well as nontourist restaurant suggestions. They help plan out your days if needed. Breakfasts have a good selection and differ from day to day.

Linda United States of America

The staff and owner were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Filipa's annotated map was a great help. The room and bathroom were comfortable and good-sized. Breakfast was ample and tasty.

Lynn United States of America

This place is very well run, extremely friendly staf and the owner. Breakfast was great, their recommendations for dinner were excellent. Very nice courtyard.

Olga United States of America

Porta Azul has a great garden, you don't feel like you are in a city. It is a quitet location. Just next to the park and buses. The breakfasts were good.

Camilla Poland

Marta is a very sympatic woman. The garden is lovely and nice. The breakfast was very good and the homemade cake was delicious. The guesthouse is nearly to the city centre. THANK YOU FOR THE WARM WELCOME and the good tips to see.

Gabriele Germany

Great customer service, we had a large and quiet ground floor room with doors to the garden which was a bonus. Nice walk to the centre of town-just 10 mins away.

Kate United Kingdom

The bed was comfortable, I think the very important thing was how Martha marked up a map and showed us the routes to places of interest. We also loved the beautiful garden where we took a wine each evening. Thanks for a great visit

Host Info

Host Review Score 9.6

Porta Azul occupies a typical house of Porto’s bourgeoisie of the nineteenth century. It stands out for its bare stone walls covered with relief patterned tiles, where the colour and brightness of the sun's reflection on the glaze of the tiles cheerfully combines with the dark and sombre tone of the granite. This type of house began to be built by the Portuguese returning from Brazil after the country's independence in 1822, they came prepared to invest their fortunes to socially assert themselves as part of the bourgeois elite. In the comfortable interior, of intelligent and sober luxury, the highlights are the stuccoed ceilings, the enhanced stained glass, the palatial layout of the house’s divisions and the central staircase illuminated by a magnificent skylight.
