O da Joana

The location of the property is fantastic. We specifically wanted to stay somewhere quiet and this did absolutely that, it is located on a nice quiet street but yet not too far from anything on foot. The room was very spacious and clean. The bed was so very comfortable and the blinds and shutters at the windows allow a nice dark room, even first thing in the morning. Joana also left bottled water in the room which was a great touch. Joana was the perfect host, very helpful. We asked if we could drop our luggage off prior to our room being ready as we arrived in Porto on a very early flight, this was accommodated by Joana and not only that she then messaged us once our room was ready. She also made great recommendations for dinner.

I would have liked to have seen a coffee making facility in the room, there is tea but no coffee.

Joana is not simply a host, she is a friend who welcomes you warmly and kindly, giving the common areas of the building at your full disposal. Once there, we were even advised on the most interesting and entertaining places in Porto, making our stay easier to enjoy the city. Everything is also facilitated by the surroundings where you have the subway, groceries, bar, restaurant, and if you wish, the city center 10 minutes walking from the building. One point I would like to emphasise is the delicate and discreet room care Joana and her staff provided. Although we had left the room very messy, we found everything perfectly clean.

The host was just lovely and very caring! Thanks, dear Joana, for having me!

The moment I walked through the door, I felt at ease. Aside from the lovely building and immaculate accommodation, I found true hospitality here. Joana caters to guests’ needs with minimum fuss. The continental breakfast was a thoughtful selection of the freshest fruit, breads, pastries and cereals, as well as a cheese/meat board. This guest house ‘sets the bar high’ and its location is a very manageable distance from the town centre. I’ve tried similar accommodation in the heart of Porto, however in my view, ‘O da Joana’ is a far superior option.

Brilliant stay

Joana is the most lovely host and maintains a beautiful B&B. The house in gorgeous, our room was spacious and nicely furnished and impeccably clean. On top of that, Joana was very flexible in accommodating our early arrival and shared great recommendations for truly local bars and restaurants. Highly recommended.

Very comfortable and clean and Joana was extremely helpful! a short walk to the local area or a slightly longer walk to the main areas of Porto. Joana was very helpful and provided a map showing great locations to see and an average of distances. Thank you for a wonderful first stay in Portugal and Porto!

Joana was lovely and couldn't be more helpful. The location was spot on, really close to locals restaurants and walking distance to all the main sights. Room was lovely and very spacious.
