About this property

ELEGANT AND SPACIOUS ART DECO APARTMENT by GRANDMOTHER VICTORIA

This is the perfect apartment for those who like to relax at the end of the day, after exploring the city, drinking a Port wine in this refined and warm atmosphere, punctuated with vintage pieces from the first decades of the 20th century!
The great comfort of the apartment is guaranteed by the air conditioning and the excellent insulation and soundproofing, and also from the velvet and silk fabrics, and delicate sheets on the beds.

The apartment, in a traditional building from the 1940s, has just been completely restored. Its location is perfect for exploring the city of Porto on foot!

The kitchen is equipped with ceramic hob, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, oven, grill, espresso machine, kettle, etc., and washing machine and vacuum cleaner. Also available two LCD TVs and Wi-Fi connection.

It has two full bathrooms, and the details of the bedrooms are:

1 - the purple bedroom, very cozy, from wich the only opening is a large sliding glass door onto the bright entrance hall of the small balcony, and with thick curtains to cut the light.
The imposing rosewood bed from the first decade of the 19th century is in the traditional Portuguese style Dona Maria, and has a comfortable mattress of 1.40 x 2.00

2 - the green bedroom has a king-size bed (1.80 x 2.00) and mattress of the highest quality which can be separated into two single beds. There are blinds and curtains for total darkness.

3 - the red bedroom, warm and welcoming, with a sofa bed that opens and turns into a comfortable double bed of 1.40 x 2.00 , and also with thick blinds and curtains for total darkness.
To enter into the green bedroom you pass through the red bedroom, therefore, for an occupancy of up to 4 people, the green bedroom works like a large suite with antechamber and private bathroom

The apartment has two entrances. By the main entrance, the apartment is on the second floor,
without elevator, but with very comfortable stairs.
By the other entrance, access is through the gate below to the street and the comfortable outdoor stairs to the balcony.

The apartment includes free parking in a garage 50 meters from the building

Fresh fruit and Porto wine are offered for consumption on arrival free.

CLEANING AND DISINFECTION OF THE APARTMENT ARE SUBJECT TO A RIGOROUS CHECK BEFORE YOUR ARRIVAL to guarantee you maximum comfort and safety.
Environmentally friendly cleaning and disinfection products are used.
THE 5-STAR OPINIONS THROUGHOUT THESE YEARS GIVE YOU THE GUARANTEE THAT IT IS A PRIORITY FOR US!

Great location
We found this an excellent apartment. It was clean,well stocked and superbly situated for visiting Porto. We travelled by car to Porto so the secure parking that comes with the apartment was very convenient and reassuring.Manuela greeted us and made us welcome providing not only a bottle of port but tea,coffee and toiletries. She also provided a comprehensive locals guide which would not be found in any tourist books. The midweek maid service and linen change was a nice surprise.Manuela also helped with a problem on paying the electric toll charge that we incurred on our drive down. She was quick to respond to any questions.This apartment is ideally suited for sight seeing in Porto and we would recommend it.

Wonderful Stay In Porto
Very comfortable, chic apartment was great home base for our stay in Porto area with my son and his wife. Property is well equipped and spotless! Owner gave a full orientation and recommendations for shopping, dining and attractions. The indoor parking garage (~3 blocks away) was a HUGE bonus providing 24hr, simple vehicle access to support our day trips to Douro Valley, Aveiro and Guimaraes day trips. Grocery store right down the block and many sites in Central Porto in walking distance. Highly recommend and hope to return.

Highly recommend! A special place in a great location.
This apartment is a special place and in a great location. The owners take great pride which is evident throughout. The beds were very comfortable, the home was very well equipped with everything you'd need. Communication with Jorge was wonderful and informative. He even made reservations for us at a restuarant. The large grocery store is just a 1/2 block away which was super convenient. Many stores and restaurants just a block away and very easy to walk everywhere else. If you don't feel like walking, it's easy to get an Uber or Bolt quickly. Internet was slow but besides that, it was a 10. We highly recommend!!

Why they chose this property

The apartment is very well located in the centre of Porto, in an old and popular street of San Lazaro neighbourhood (the garden of San Lazaro is the oldest public garden of the city and a reference in the centre of the city).

The location is excellent for getting around on foot in the historic centre of Porto that is five minutes’ walk from the apartment, or to walk to the bars area.

It is five minutes’ walk from Santa Catarina street, where you will find the iconic Cafe Majestic and many interesting shops, and five minutes’ walk from the fantastic Bolhão Market, Coliseu Concert Hall, and the National Theatre S. João.

Several good restaurants of Portuguese cuisine are at two minutes’ walk, as also supermarkets, bakery, butcher, fish, fruits and vegetables, etc.

The apartment does not have parking in the building, but at 50 meters from the apartment we have a garage for you to park your car.

Excellent public transport links, underground station at 200 meters with direct line to the airport.
At the airport take the metro to Porto and get off at station "Campo 24 de Agosto" Once in "Campo 24 de Agosto" square take Fernandes Tomás street, walk 100 meters, take the first left and you reach the apartment 100 meters ahead!
If you come by car, the apartment includes free parking in a garage 100 meters from the building

What makes this property unique

The apartment is very comfortable with air-conditioning, fully equipped kitchen, and bathrooms with gel, shampoo, body lotion, high quality bath towels, hair dryer, etc.
The decoration is made with high quality furniture and Portuguese antiques.

Although very central, and in a busy street, the excellent soundproofing, the windows with thermal and acoustic cut and the air conditioning, provide a quiet and silent atmosphere and a great comfort in the apartment.
