Manor House Porto

Place was in a great location. The view to the river was excellent. The apartment was clean and spacious. The host was extremely kind and helpful.

Nothing in this category.

We enjoyed the view and location and we'll equipped kitchen.

The unit is in the dungeon, no windows only doors. There was a thick sewerage gas smell permanently and unbearable, with no windows you have no choice but to try to sleep with open doors which is a security risk. The low ceiling has a wooden floor above you with people walking 1.7m above your bed and kids running till late night. Not suitable for older people.

Loved the beds, views, coffee maker & the location was perfect!

Fantastic view of the Dom Luis bridge and centrally located.

great view and location

room was damp, shower didn’t have any water force (hard to wash hair) and sewer flies were an issue.

The location was superb, it was lovely to have use of the garden when the weather was good to sit out & admire the spectacular views. The property is really unique & full of character & it was a nice change from being in a hotel room.

Ceilings are a little low in places which makes it not ideal for tall people & there are steps as shown in the pictures but this is all part of the character & historic nature of the building.

It's hard to know where to begin. This place is simply amazing. Due to some construction next door, our taxi couldn't get all the way to the door, but close enough. The building is very old, stone construction, but so well kept and renovated with modern conveniences. Alex, the owner, has lived in the building his entire life, and his family, for three or four generations. He answered my call, immediately, and came down to let us in. He then gave us an extensive tour of our rooms, and the garden. Ahhhh the garden/jardim! This place is worth the price, simply for the view from the garden! it overlooks the river, the bridge, and with a stunning view of Porto's sister city: Gaia! Plus, there's a tangerine tree! You can walk down hill to a cafe, and to the riverfront, where there are tons of restaurants and bars. There is live music going all day down there, which you can hear from the garden. You can hang out and wave to people crossing the bridge! The Cathedral is only steps away, where you can grab a taxi, Uber, Bolt, or hire a tour car. Another block or two and there's a little store with Portuguese meat and cheese, as well as liquors and portwine, run by an old couple that are just too cute not to meet. She 'rings' up your order by calculating it on a sheet of paper, old school! A couple doors down from them is a convenience store where you can find beer, wine, port, liquor, snacks, and souvenirs. Ask Alex where to find the best francescinias and pasteis de natas! And whatever else you want! He's a real local. He speaks impeccable English, as well as Portuguese, French, and Spanish. The woodstove is run on pellets, and is easy to turn on and off, and very warm, if you need it during your stay. The kitchen has most everything you need: stovetop, oven, toaster, coffee maker (with great coffee), wine/bottle opener, electric tea kettle, fridge, all the kitchenware you'd expect.

The water pressure in the shower could be stronger, but the bathroom is lovely. Internet was a bit iffy the last day we were there, for some reason. But it worked most of the time. Wasn't a big deal for us, as we had a data plan. The stairs down/up into the room are a bit steep, so something to keep in mind if you have mobility issues. We're in our 50s, and we managed okay.

This location can’t be beat. Walking distance to everything and the view is also 10/10. Bed was super comfortable. Lots of space to move around! Host was very friendly and easy to reach.

1. Pellet furnace smell was too strong (but we are not used to it) 2. Cob webs on the ceiling above the bed 3. The water pressure for the shower was not strong but the temperature was great and we always had hot water.
