Terrace Duplex in our Art Nouveau Townhouse

This comfortable and refined apartment is perfect for your holidays in Porto!
Upon arriving at the apartment from exploring the city, you will relax on the sunny terrace enjoying a Porto wine, against the background of the beautiful view of the “Duques” district with its tall trees.

The apartment is located in an Art Nouveau style building of Porto. Its restoration work is the result of our commitment to this family project.

On the entrance floor you will find a lounge where you can prepare your drink (we provide drinks to our guests), choose a book from the shelf in the hallway, listen to music, and breathe the atmosphere of the period, the typical atmosphere of a bourgeois house. of Porto from the turn of the 19th century to the 20th century
Via the elevator or stairs you go up to the apartment floor.

The apartment is very comfortable, bright and functional, even for longer stays.
The openly eclectic decor is punctuated by pieces from different periods and origins.
All these pieces are authentic and have been recovered.
This is the only way to achieve true sustainability of the planet and respect for nature.
All the old wood and beams in the house that had to be replaced were reused to make some furniture, namely the beds and headboards.

Among classic furniture, an antique chest of drawers, a 19th century Portuguese settee, and an antique Chinese chest, you will find Portuguese furniture from the 70s and the iconic chair that the Portuguese designer José Espinho designed in the 60s for Olaio.

The lighting is designed for you to enjoy great comfort. You will find different lamps from our collection, from the Hungarian wall lamps from a hotel in Budapest, to the Portuguese lamp from the 70s on the living room ceiling.

The "Duques" neighborhood is the ideal option for your stay, it is the coolest neighborhood, with soul and charisma in the center of Porto. The Faculty of Fine Arts of Porto is located there. Here you will find quality local shops, art galleries, excellent restaurants and vegan options if you wish.
It was considered the 4th coolest neighborhood in Europe in:
“10 of the coolest neighborhoods in Europe”. (February 8, 2020). "The Guardian"
Retrieved from: theguardian.com/travel/2020/feb/08/10-of-the-coolest-neighbourhoods-in-europe-paris-berlin-rome/
From these streets crowned with tall trees and beautiful facades from the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, you can reach the main points of interest in the center of Porto on foot.

Fresh fruit and port wine are offered for consumption upon arrival.

Excellent location and host
Host was incredibly helpful and made our stay pleasant and comfortable as possible. The host sat with us and mapped out the city, sites, restaurants, set up drivers for us and even had a nice welcoming of local wine and food for us. We greatly appreciated their attention to detail which made our stay that much more memorable!

Lovely Porto apartment
I stayed here on a couples trip earlier this month and we all really enjoyed this apartment. It is a lovely apartment in a wonderful residential section of Porto. Jorge is a wonderful host and had great recommendations on where to go for food and site seeing. We greatly enjoyed a bar in the area he recommended and ended our nights there each night. The apartment is well equipped and quiet. Would definitely stay there again.

Stunning Apartment, Great Location!
Just as advertised! Lovely location, close to tourist attractions but a nice, quiet neighborhood. The apartment was perfect in every way for four adults. Manuela and Jorge provided an extensive amount of amenities from a large fruit basket to local wine and port. The common area was a nice stop after a long day of sightseeing. We will be back for sure!

This is easily one of the best VRBOs we’ve stayed in. Everything is just as presented in the listing, very clean, beautifully decorated and well stocked with every convenience provided. Even beautiful dishes! Wish we could have stayed longer. The hosts were so helpful and friendly! The neighborhood is quiet but with restaurants and bakery and grocery nearby. The walk to the old section is easy.

A perfect retreat during our 3 nights in Porto. We were so comfortable after our long days of sightseeing, kicking off our shoes and totally relaxing with a glass of complementary port, in this beautiful townhouse.Seamless check in and out. Walking distance to everything. All four of us would highly recommend this property.

Hidden gem in out of tourist area
If I could give 10 stars I would!! This beautifully remodeled apartment was in an old beautiful tiled building from the 1930’s. They have a sitting parlor as you come in so we were able to leave our bags and relax, Manuela brought up a beautiful bowl of fruit and many bottles of wine and port. She went over our map and recommended several good restaurants. Best VRBO I have ever stayed in!!!

Best VRBO in Europe
We had a fabulous stay in this beautiful big apartment. The owners provided us with every possible resource for our stay, and even did laundry for free. We sat down with them for an hour and learned the history of the building (built in 1911) including their history of purchase, and the 7- year renovation project by the architect owner. I can't recommend this properly more highly. It is superb!

Porto's Hidden Gem
One of the highlights of our time in Porto was the wonderful 5 night stay at the exquisitely restored Art Nouveau building hosted by Jorge and Manuela. The corner building is located in Os Duques of Bonfim a quiet and safe neighbourhood, just a short walk from Porto’s many attractions in the more touristy downtown area. We were astonished at the detail and authenticity of the restoration and were lucky enough to book the Terrace Duplex apartment for our stay. On our arrival at the Terrace, we were warmly greeted by Manuela who took the time to give us a detailed list of the best of Porto’s museums, parks, restaurants and incredible attractions. The huge 2 floor apartment is an eclectic combination of high-end amenities along with early 19th century light fixtures, furniture and art, all reflecting Art Nouveau design. The main floor of the Terrace has a large ultra modern kitchen, loaded with amenities and a big terrace off the living room. The 2nd floor has another bedroom and bathroom. The Terrace and our hosts were just awesome. It was probably the most enjoyable and relaxed stay of our many travel experiences. We highly recommend a stay at Jorge and Manuela’s very special Terrace apartment. Thanks so much!

Perfect in every way
Great location in a quiet neighborhood. Good space for two couples traveling together--each couple had privacy and their own bathroom, yet there was a good living room/kitchen/dining space where we could hang out together. The second bed/bath was up a narrow staircase that was difficult to haul up any larger suitcases but otherwise a nice space. The apartment had everything we needed except for our own food but there was a great fruit bowl available upon arrival that lasted us for a few days. Walking distance to groceries, coffee, restaurants, bars, sights, and a short Uber ride to everything else. There is a washer in the apartment but the dryer is downstairs and shared by other renters (5 total units in the building all operated by the same people). We did have to fight for dryer time and it took awhile to get things dried. Overall a great stay! We would definitely stay here again when in Porto!

Beautiful Art Nouveau Townhouse in great neighborhood!
Absolutely loved our stay, and the hospitality provided by our hosts Jorge and Manuela. Restaurants, grocery’s and transportation nearby. Uber is very reasonable, and good way to avoid the hills of Porto. Stayed a week, and just touched the tip of the iceberg. Weather was wonderful, and not the crowds of summer. Highly recommend our accommodation.

Sun on the threshold and rain in the fields.
Sometimes you can have it all. This flat was wonderful with enough space to have some privacy and cozy at the same time. The balcony was a real bonus. The owners were very accommodating and there was none of the non-sense with "guest chores". The kitchen was fully stocked, and they thoughtfully provided a giant bowl of mixed fruits which we thoroughly enjoyed. The best part of this rental was location, location, location. This flat is in a quiet neighborhood so if you get too much sun or sangria you can easily nap. It is close to many restaurants and markets. Plus, many tourist sites are within a 10–20 minute walk. The metro, cable car, and river are equally close. The owners helped us arrange our airport transfers to and from the rental. We enjoyed our time in Porto very much and the thoughtful touches of the rental helped us unwind.

We booked this apartment based on the write up and upon arrival it was exactly as described. The area had a butcher, bakery and local grocery store within a 4 minute walk and a larger grocery store a 15 minute walk away. We took several day trips as well we did a 3 day trip to Lisbon by train. The owners of the apartment were fantastic and anticipated our needs due to an early arrival. Should we choose to return to Porto this is the only place we would stay. Thank you Manuela and Jorge

100% Recommend - Terrace Duplex in Art Nouveau Townhouse
Our hosts were wonderful. Jorge personally checked us in, and gave us invaluable information on where to get food, what would be open the next day as it was Sunday, and about the apartment and the local area. Every evening, complimentary selections of Port and cookies were available for their guests in the communal sitting area. This beautiful apartment with luxurious linens, elegant furnishings and two roomy private spaces with nice bathrooms is located in a quiet neighborhood. There is everything here for 4 adults to relax, cook, dine, and sleep. You can have your breakfast and coffee, or a glass of wine in the evenings on your terrace overlooking the neighborhood. Jorge and Manuela provided an assortment of fresh fruits and a bottle of Port for our enjoyment. There is a Metro stop a six minute walk from the apartment, or you can just walk to everything; restaurants, gilded churches, monasteries, gardens and open air markets. You can eat inexpensively (or extravagantly) in the neighborhood: traditional, sushi, steak, seafood. The locals are friendly, helpful and many speak English. 100% would return!

I cant say enough great things about this rental! Not only is it in a perfect location (quiet street just on the border of Old Town) and in walking distance to everything. Grocery, Restaurants, Bars all close by. But its the charm of the renovated building and the kind and thoughtful host that made this so special. Manuela met us as we arrived, showed us around the apartment to explain how everything works. And she even gave us a detailed map of Porto and told us where all the great places to eat and drink and shop are. Our Host in Lisbon did not even meet us when we arrived. You will absolutely love sipping wine or morning coffee on the beautiful terrace that wraps around the building! I would highly recommend booking with Manuela. You will not be disappointed. We will tell all our friends! Thanks Manuela and Jorge!

We would highly recommend staying here! The check in process was seamless, we were met by Jorge and he walked us threw the apartment and took the time to provide us with local places to eat and where to shop for groceries. There was a lovely fruit basket, wine in the fridge and also some local port to try. The apartment had everything we required for our 8 day stay. I can’t think of anything they missed. The locations is perfect, you are able to walk everywhere. Thank you so much for everything, I will be recommending your apartment to our friends and family and if we ever make it back to Porto we will definitely be contacting you! Wishing you all the best :)
