This old house (early 18th century to be exact) is bang in the middle of the historic Unesco World Heritage quarters of Porto, near the Cathedral. It has seen a lot over time, the French invasions of 1810 for a start, and for many generations was a family home not open to the public. Thanks to the current owners, however, Francisca and Álvaro, and a splendid renovation by top notch architects, it has now been turned into an extremely comfortable lodge that mixes the old with cutting edge. It makes a great base either for spending a relaxing weekend visiting the colourful sights and sounds of Porto or perhaps a longer stay to also take in the beautiful Douro countryside.
The renovation we have already touched upon not only complies with the original plan and preserves some of the old elements of the house, it has also added a dash of modernity and simplicity to the building. The renovation work used some of the classic materials of this city – granite (Porto is sometimes referred to as the Granite City), iron, wood and glass. For the visitor, that means five excellently done up and independent studio apartments equipped with everything (See room descriptions for further details). And all have that that solid, sturdy feel so typical of Porto. But there is also a garden and courtyard, which is sometimes not so easy to find in the heart of town.
And here we mean a location that is pretty much near to everything worth visiting, such as the aforementioned cathedral, Clérigos tower, The São Bento railway station (considered to be one of the most beautiful in the whole world due to its tiles) and the Majestic Café.
Something else that is great about the Casa do Guindais are the owners. This urbane and well-travelled couple knows more than a thing or two about hospitality, that’s for sure, so we think that all in all, the location, the history, comfort and welcome make the Casa dos Guindais a winner.
Please note: This accommodation requires a pre-payment which should be done by Paypal. The hotel will provide details upon booking.
Die Eigentümerin ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Lage ist für City Tripps in Porto perfekt, vieles ist fußläufig zu erreichen. Das Haus und unser Appartement hatten eine sehr angenehme Atmosphäre, waren geräumig und hell. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und die Zeit im Casa dos Guindas genossen

The accommodation was great! It was ideally located only 4 minutes from the cathedral and with an almost panoramic view of the Pont Louis!
It had a terrace and a beautiful garden.
Anna, who welcomed us very late, was incredibly nice and helpful. Our fridge was filled and even wine and port were ready!
We can recommend the accommodation without hesitation!

Ana, die uns begrüßt hat, war super nett und hat einige gute Tipps gegeben. Anreise mit Gepäck ist etwas umständlich. Trotzdem das Haus mitten in der Altstadt ist, ist es eine Oase. Leider wurden die Holzdecken trittschallmässig nicht gedämmt, so dass jeder Schritt von oben zu hören war. Da wir nach dem wunderbaren Tag im tollen Porto aber immer völlig kaputt waren, hat das dann aber auch nicht gestört! Wunderschöne Unterkunft, siehe Fotos❣️

We have stayed for a whole week in the Crystal Appartment and had a perfect time. Arriving late in the evening, we were welcomed and feeded with information by the housekeeper. The appartment was well appointed with the initial needs, water, coffee and a welcome port wine.
The appartment is located quite near to the historical center and the public transfer (metro Sao Bento) and you could easily walk to many spots, bars and restaurants. Senior Alvaro has prepared a few realy nice suggestions. Additionally we can recommand www.theworsttours.weebly.com for people interested in uncommon city tours.

Casa Dos Guindais offers very comfortable and pretty accomodations. The room we had (Studio Crystal) is a small studio, meeting all our expectations: clean, cosy, and pleasant to stay.
The contact with the host was very good. He was very available through text messages to answer any request or question, and very helpful. The check-in and check-out times were arranged before, and are flexible. We were perfectly welcome at our arrival.The information provided prior our arrival were clear and useful.
The place is well located in Porto, very close to the station Sao Bento and the city Centre.
Finally, it is a very good "value for price".
I fully recommend Casa dos Guindas, and would like to thank again the host.

Kleines Paradies in Porto
by Leona
Date of stay 01/07/2018
Nach wunderschönen Tagen in der Region Aveiro sind wir sehr herzlich von Álvaro, dem Eigentümer von Casa dos Guindais, empfangen worden. Schon beim Eintreten in die Casa waren wir vom architektonischen Konzept begeistert - Mittelalter vor der Haustür - Moderner Baustil sanft im Inneren des Hauses eingefügt. Álvaro führte uns durch das ganze Haus, erzählte die Geschichte des Hauses und wir spürten seine Liebe zu diesem Haus. Wir hatten das Appartement in der oberen Etage mit Balkon und Blick in den Garten. Uns gefiel der Einrichtungsstil. Stein, Metall und Holz. Das Appartement verfügte über eine Küchenecke (sehr schön), ein WC mit Waschtisch und Fön und eine separate Dusche. Die hohen Decken und schrägen schönen Holz-Balken an der Decke erinnerten uns an den Baubeginn eines Bootes. Es war sehr sehr sauber. Ein kleiner Port stand zur Begrüßung auf dem Tisch. Eine Flasche stilles Wasser und zwei kleine Flaschen mit Heilwasser aus der Region fand sich im Kühlschrank. Die Bettwäsche sehr sauber und roch angenehm frisch, auch die Handtücher. Ein Bäcker ist in der Nähe, so dass man auch auf dem Balkon morgens Frühstück genießen kann. Man sollte sich das gönnen. Das Plätschern des schönen Brunnens im Garten, die Aussicht ins Grüne und auf den Douro. Álvaro hat uns einen Stadtplan überreicht und uns viele großartige Informationen und sehr schöne Tipps für feines Essen gegeben. Es ist ein ruhiges Haus und da es ein kleines Paradies ist, sollte man es auch achtsam mit allen Bewohnern teilen. Die Lage ist hervorragend um Porto zu erkunden. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten gut erreichbar. Álvaro hat uns sogar eine Tiefgarage empfohlen. Man kann beim Ankommen mit dem PKW vor dem Haus halten, um das Gepäck auszuladen. Beachtet: Kleine enge Gasse (keine Wendemöglichkeit). Für uns war das kein Problem. 5 Tage Porto - wunderbar. Ein Dank auch an secretplaces für die gute Beratung.

Arrived last weekend, very late delayed flight from London. We were welcomed at 1.30am by the lovely Fanhali who showed and explained everything about our room. We were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful Douro room with its features, exposed ceiling which goes into the rafters, stonework and enormous balcony overlooking the garden.
The room had everything, good wifi and shower too. For 3 nights, it's an ideal size and location to explore the city, which we military did on foot. We bought 2day team card which is recommended. The local recommended breakfast cafe just up the road ticked all the boxes too. So yes, I recommend this place highly, good value and you can come and go as you please. Thank you Alvaro!

Alvaro ist ein herzlicher und zuverlässiger Gastgeber. Wir konnten das Studio planmäßig beziehen und am Abreisetag unser Gepäck bis nachmittags im Foyer stehen lassen. Wir erhielten Tipps für Besichtigungen und für Restaurants. Davon haben wir das Restaurant TRACA ausprobiert, das wir weiterempfehlen können. Das Studio Duoro war so wie es vorher in Bewertungen und der homepage beschrieben war. Wir wurden also nicht enttäuscht!. Die Mischung aus moderner Einrichtung, den original Steinwänden und den offenenliegenden Deckenbalken ist sehr gelungen. Die Dusche kann man nicht beschreiben, ist aber ein Unikat, das seines Gleichen sucht :-). Trotz der zentralen Lage, war es nachts ruhig. Bei Morgensonne konnten wir sogar im März auf dem Balkon mit Blick in den Garten frühstücken. Eine geniale Bäckerei liegt fußläufig 200 m entfernt. In Porto gibt es scheinbar keine Heizungen wie wir sie kennen. Das Studio musste jahreszeitlich bedingt (nachts 6 Grad, tagsüber 15 Grad) durch einen Radiator beheizt werden. Das war ok, aber wohlige Wärme ist anders. Dennoch bleiben wir bei 5 Sternen..

It's difficult to know what to expect from a hotel, apartment or B&B, even with photos and reviews available on the Internet.

Everything I needed for my 3-day stay in Porto.

Nice house in a wonderful area very close to whatever you want to do in Porto. There are different rooms available, mine, called "The tunnel" was well equipped so you can enjoy your stay. However, seems I stayed longer than the average tourist, so I would choose a different room facing east next time because you get more light. Mine was pretty dark. I was offered an upgrade but didn't realize at the time that this would have been the better choice. I even met the owner after my stay in Matoshinos and we had a drink together. Nice man, a former pilot , who is very charming and hospitable. He really wants you to feel good in his property. I would definitely recommend this place.

We recently spent 4 nights in Casa dos Guindais. The owners have really done something special with this new renovation. It is on a quiet street in a very convenient location - close to the Ribera and Gaia. Our host, Alvaro, was more than kind and amazed us with his hospitality.
Beautiful Home

Beautiful home and warm welcome. You will not be disappointed with this accommodation! Very close to the historic center and calm despite everything, everything was done with taste. *****
