to get started.

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

Not for you if you want 5 star luxury and grovelling flunkies - ideal if you like properties with character and people who care that you enjoy your stay - and get the most out of the city you're visiting. This great little guest house in an old merchant's house has been lovingly restored and furnished in an eccentric but effective way. Pedro, your host, will insist on giving a thorough briefing so that you don't miss anything. Ample and varied breakfast buffet, comfortable beds - a true home from home.

Ian, United Kingdom

Porta Azul is a guesthouse in a beautiful 200 year-old building. Our room was very comfortable with very high ceiling, french doors opening to a beautiful garden, and artistic details. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly.

Alison, United States of America

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

Stuart, New Zealand

it is a really lovely property and the addition of some decent towels would be great.

Ch, United Kingdom

A very comfortable stay in a 200 year old re-furbished property. Although close to a main road the rooms at the back are very quite with a beautiful tranquil garden. Staff were excellent and very helpful with local information, received an excellent brief from the owner on our arrival. A number of varied eating places within 15 minute walk. Close transport links and bus route for airport(bus 601). A great base for a Porto visit.

An Inside Look at Porta Azul

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.

Unfortunately, our room was facing a very busy street, and with no air conditioning we could not open the window as the noise and car exhaust made it impossible. I believe all other rooms are facing the courtyard and are much quieter. I had a room with 3 beds .
This place is very well run, extremely friendly staf and the owner. Breakfast was great, their recommendations for dinner were excellent. Very nice courtyard.

There are places that make you feel home while being away from home. We have seen this project developing since 2012 and everytime we go to Porto, we try to stay here. I always recommend it to friends visitig Porto. It is a beatiful converted 19th century house with 6 bedrooms and a nice garden to sit it at the back. Just outside the noisy city centre, but close enough to walk. Marta and the staff very helpful, as always.

“Historic guesthouse in the heart of Porto‘s old town”

- • Stayed 3 nights

Our room was exposed to the main street with a lot of traffic that we heart through the nights. It was very loud. We recommend one of the garden rooms for those with a light sleep.
Porta Azul is a fantastic historic building with original beutiful elements. The people (from the lady who owns the place to her personell) are very friendly. Also our 6 year old son felt very welcome. Also to mention is that we were provided with an interesting introduction to what is to do and to see in Porto when we arrived at Porta Azul by the owner and received a prepared map of the city. A very nice gesture. The guesthouse has a very nice, quiet garden.
