A beautiful home that is close to many sites and restaurants. The home was an absolute delight. It was spacious, bright, exceptionally clean and quiet, with beautiful decorative details throughout. The perfect location in Porto. Isabel was a magnificent hostess. All of her recommendations exceeded expectations and she was readily available to assist with any requests.

Isabel was an ideal host! She met us at the check in and showed us around the condo. We had three singles and one couple. Space was plentiful and clean. We were also able to use the back patio for happy hours. Easily walked to all of the porto hotspots.

Dukes retreat fill the bill!

Beautiful property — we stayed as a group of 7 and really enjoyed it. The beds were super comfortable, and the whole space has been designed with care.It is in a quiet neighborhood with easy walk to stores / restaurants and central tourist areas It’s a newer listing, so we passed on some helpful tips directly to the host about a few small things that could make the stay even better.Overall, we had a great experience and would happily return. Thank you for hosting us.

First of all, the property manager Isabel was fantastic. From the time that we rented the property, until we left, she kept in touch with us over 6 months. She was incredibly helpful and even organized two really outstanding tours for us. The property itself is really grand. The house is very spacious and well appointed. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms have great showers and one has a large relaxing tub. There are a few local restaurants and shops in the vicinity and it’s about a 20 minute walk to more central Porto. We had two adult sons and their partners with us and everyone had lots of space to themselves as well as areas for competitive card games in the evening.

Fabulous Porto Stay & Host

This was our family’s first trip to Portugal so we had no idea where to stay or what to do but liked this listing so jumped in. This house and the hostess Isabel couldn’t have been more lovely & helpful! The first night we had a little AC trouble and the very next morning it was fixed and two bottles of wine were gifted to us as an apology. The hostess, Isabel, went above and beyond helping us book reservations for sights and just helped us navigate the city in general. She certainly didn’t have to do that. Even when one of our family members became ill she continued to check in and offer assistance. The house is gorgeous and is stunningly well-designed (I’m particular about decor and style!). The kitchen is well-eqippped. The beds comfy. The AC really worked well! The multiple staircases wouldn’t work for someone with physical challenges so beware of that. And it would have been great to have had some outdoor furniture on the lovely courtyard patio but otherwise this is a 10 out 10 place to stay in Porto! Highly recommend.
