I chose this place to stay at because of all the wonderful reviews from Trip Advisor. I did not regret it one bit. We arrived at 11pm and Carmen welcomed us with open arms. She even made sure we had a nice dinner and waited for us to come back. In the morning, Joao was waiting downstairs with an amazing... More

We had a great stay with Carmen and Joao. The glowing reviews here are well deserved. The property is in a perfect location. The breakfast is truly a thing of wonder. Joao is an artist with the fruit platter. The room is small but very comfortable. Wi-fi has decent speed. Then there is the fantastic hospitality and wonderful recommendations for... More

We found our hosts Joao and Carman to be a key to a wonderful visit to Porto. They are charming professionals who helped us find and do everything. The facility was comfortable, well designed, and spotlessly clean. The location is perfect, but be sure to get directions for your arrival. Joao provides a beautiful, healthy, satisfying breakfast with fresh steaming... More

Outstanding boutique hotel ideally located on the river. Carmen and Joao are terrific hosts, providing friendly and enthusiastic service throughout our stay. Rooms are small but very clean and comfortable with modern bathrooms. The breakfast is a real treat, including a huge, fresh and delicious fruit platter, meats and cheeses, breads and pastries, and Joao's excellent coffee. The afternoon Port... More

We visited Porto for our first short break ever, away from our 4-year old daughter, and it could not have been more perfect! Carmen and Joao's knowledge of the city's museums, restaurants and just about everything in Porto could not be surpassed. They really understood our taste and what we liked doing - and we loved starting each morning with... More

We had a great time at this very small boutique guest house. Very helpful hosts. Couldn't ask for more. They arranged taxis, dinner reservations, made walking itinerary. Super nice and very clean rooms. We stayed in 401 right on river you could see port houses from windows.

Our first two nights in Portugal were in Porto at the Guest House Douro, and we couldn't have made a better choice. Carmen and João were outstanding hosts, providing advice, dinner reservations (we wanted to try octopus), a wonderful fresh breakfast each morning, and tips on how to navigate the city to get the most out of our short stay....
