Location is great. Close to everything. Just 3 min walk to the main tourist attractions. The owner was waiting to welcoming us at the apartment and gave best explanations of all instructions. Very well managed.
ThailandGreat modern, updated apartment. There is a Murphy bed so be aware of this. The location is fantastic, very central to the historic area. Great view out the windows with awesome sunsets. Highly recommended.
United States of AmericaOur host Maria was incredible! Very helpful, quick to respond, and provided excellent recommendations. Apartment very centrally located, clean and well appointed. We traveled with young children and couldn't have asked for a better or more scenic place to stay in Porto. Excellent find!
United States of AmericaMaria was there to greet us when we arrived. A very gracious hostess. Went through full instructions for everything we needed to know about the apt. Nicely decorated. Very clean. Comfortable bed and hot shower. Gorgeous view of the city from the balcony. And unexpected and much appreciated added extras.
United States of AmericaPerfect location, beautiful apartment that has everything you may possibly need. Maria was a very gracious host and provided all the info that we needed. Welcome port wine was a very nice touch, thank you!
FinlandSecond time we stayed at this apartment. We stayed there two years ago. Apartment and the host still of top most excellence. Maria very gracious host. Apartment has all that you need for your stay. Kitchen well equipped. Bed is a murphy, so it is put away during the day. Bed is large and comfortable. Apartment is in a great location. Couple minutes from metro and the train station. Two minutes from the Cathedral. 15 minute walk to the Clerigos tower, which you can see from the apartment. Nice balcony to sit at during the evening. Very quiet and safe location. Parking right next to the building. Door entry locks are now electronic. No keys to worry about-much more secure. Actually, the apartment is within walking distance to most of the major sites to visit. Recommend to all.
CanadaMaria is an excellent host and the home is stocked with anything you could possibly think of! There is also a bottle of Port wine on arrival, and beautiful views of the city. It's close proximity to the city center and we walked everywhere. We only had two nights in beautiful Porto but wish we could have stayed longer!!
United States of AmericaMaria is very friendly and goes the extra mile to give you extra info and have everything prepated, location is also perfect and the apartment has all the small facilities you could need.
EgyptCan’t say enough about this place. Private studio in the middle of the historic centre. Don’t want to eat out you can shop nearby and the studio has everything you need to prepare a home comes meal. You are near transit and if need be there is parking outside.
CanadaBeautiful small appartment in the center. The view from the small balcony is really the best of the best. There’s enough space for the couple or small family. The flat is extra clean. You can find everything you need for short stay. The host Maria is great.

Urban apartment - Casa da Portela is registered at the Tourism Board of Portugal (no. 5105/AL) and supervised by the local authorities, Camara Municipal do Porto and ASAE. This means it is run according to the Tourism Board rules and guidelines and that it operates within the Portuguese law. But the best independent proof of our quality is the reviews from our guests, which you are invited to read.
This apartment is cosy and urban but functional. I've put a lot of love and care in the decoration of this apartment. I love details and would like the guests to feel at home.
Sé is the most typical place in Porto. Near the Cathedral, overlooking the river. When walking along the narrow streets you'll meet not only tourists but locals who still live here.
